1. Finally! I'm an RN! How I passed NCLEX

   Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in NCLEX

   It was a total of 10 years to actually get through all the pre-reqs and to get into nursing school. Once I was actually in my nursing program there was nothing that I would allow to stop me after I went through so much to be there in the first place!...

   @nursel56, RNsRWe, Cookie.monstar Thanks so much! I'm still pinching myself in disbelief hahaha--and I'm still looking myself up on the Board's website thinking "it really does say Registered Nurse."

   Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in NCLEX

   I focused my content studies mostly on M/S, making sure to cover the main systems like CV, Endocrine, Resp. I reviewed the main stuff in Psych (disorders, coping mechanisms, meds), I did a thorough review of OB because that was not a favorite of min...

   Thanks so much! No I'm in AZ. I took the test yesterday morning at 8. My license status was updated by 11 am today to "passed NCLEX RN". I had an active official license before 3 pm today :-)).

6. Finally! I'm an RN! How I passed NCLEX

   Prettybrowngirl posted a topic in NCLEX

   This was a battle I fought for over 10 years with lots of starts and stops, but I got confirmation this morning that I officially passed the NCLEX-RN and I'm on cloud 9! My test shut off at 75 and I was a nervous wreck! No one could convince me that...

   Prettybrowngirl replied to Ceeza's topic in LPN-RN

   I took AP 1 in another state and got credit for it. They had me re-take AP 2 because it was only 3 credits and Maricopa colleges require 4 credits. I took it online at Phoenix College. It was tough and the only reason I got a B was because I'd taken ...

   Thank goodness I don't have midterm exams :-/. I'm on a MUCH needed spring break! This semester is flying isn't it? Hope that holds true for the rest of our programs :-). I hope you and all the other LPN--->RN students are hanging in there. A few...

10. First Exam

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Lordswill's topic in LPN-RN

    Our grades are not posted yet, but I think I did well. We had a two part exam on respiratory and perioperative care. It was by far mostly situational questions. I really hate the select all that apply, but since they will be on the NCLEX I guess I h...

11. First Exam

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Lordswill's topic in LPN-RN

    My first exam is tomorrow ?. I was really focused on patho, then two of my professors said there won't be any patho on the exams, just nursing interventions, teaching, patient safety, etc. That REALLY helped me and hopefully it'll pay off tomorrow. ...

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in LPN-RN

    I'm finding the support here to be an amazing resource! You are totally right when you said that this is a small portion of my life. I keep thinking and saying the very same thing. When I think I can't do this, I start thinking about how I will fee...

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in LPN-RN

    That's awesome! :-). Congrats on finishing the RN program and I'm more than sure you'll do just fine on the NCLEX! I'm now much more focused after getting past the first few days and learning more about my schedule and the syllabus. I'm in my zone n...

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in LPN-RN

    It really helps knowing that someone else is feeling the same way about doing the LPN-RN. We can absolutely do this! Kinda nice not to have clinicals for a semester huh? I wish you all the success with your program!
