Thanks! I just got the news, I PASSED! I'm an RN! Yaaaaayyyyy!!! I did the PVT yesterday and it worked, got the official results this morning! I'm so happy! :redbeathe:nurse:
I have got to pass since I've already been accepted into a critical care grad nurse program! The anxiety is getting to me so I think I'm going to stop studying for the night and just pray!
What I did was finished up my A.A. (in Psych) while waiting that way, once I finish the program this summer I can transfer directly to UCF to begin my BSN without having to go back to take any basic classes. The program is amazing because of all the...

Hi, I'm in my med-surg rotation in nursing school. I took chemistry only because I initially applied to a BSN program that required it, but I don't feel as though it applied or gave me an understanding in my other classes. Definitely good to get it...
I'm a student at VCC and it took me 2 semesters to get in. Applied in Summer of 09 and got in Spring '10. It's a great program so far... just a lot of work! Like all nursing programs.
