  1. NCLEX Blues

    Hi! I had 75 questions and it took me two hours to complete. I tried to focus. I am from Florida and have been an LPN for about ten years. I took it on Tuesday the 31st of May and the results showed on Pearson the 2nd of June. My license was up ...
  2. Anyone else feel like everytime they are at work they are constantly politely changing the subject or avoiding the back stabbing, sarcasm, and pumped up egos? I am a new grad and find the way team members trash each other to mirror a bloody dog figh...
  3. Nclex Exam 6 times

    Not everyone seems to test well like you. I am not at all surprised it took 6 tries. Some great and wonderful nurses are just not good test takers. Kaplan, from what i hear, is good at helping break it down. I took 75 first try and passed as well...
  4. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    Yes, Chip is right, the program is about $5,000. This includes all testing fees and clinical fees. You can get the books from half for a fraction of the price. You really only need some basic books like fundamentals, med-surg, peds, and maybe psyc...
  5. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    I 100% agree with you on the non LPN students being admitted into the program. They did some damage. I define incompetent by several facors--safety. critical thinking, time management, making priorities, personal communication skills..................
  6. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    It really just boils down to common sense....there will always be good and bad nurses no matter where they graduated from. I work with 2 other Excelsior grads and they are way better nurses than most of the others on the unit. One is agency and one...
  7. Nclex-rn Study Books

    I just passed the NCLEX and think saunders is great. I had a bunch of review books but found Saunders the best with good questions. The Mosby's online CAT style assessment tests are the closest to the real thing by far. You pay about $40.00 and ha...
  8. LPN's giving Rhogam

    I had a MA give it to me at my ob/gyn office during my last pregnancy. I see no reason why an LPN can't administer it. It is a blood product but does not require the checks and verification of transfusions...or the monitoring. Karen
  9. I Passed with 76 Questions!!

    wooohooo!!! Yeah! I passed also. Best wishes in your new career. Karen
  10. It's over I am now an RN!!!

    I passed the NCLEX!!! I just had to share. It was an extremely hard test. I had 75 questions and many of the new style questions. Thank you Lord and thanks for the support of the board. Karen RN :)
  11. NCLEX Blues

    I passed and I hope the rest of you did too. I really thought I failed. What a wild and crazy test. Karen
  12. I passed I passed I passed!!!

    I really thought I failed the NCLEX. I had 75 questions and the last few I missed were level 1 type questions. I had several (like 10+) select more than one answer. I was so sure I had failed. It has been 2 of the most stressful days awaiting the...

  14. Orlando

    Yes, I really like the job so far. There is a lot of support for new grads and my preceptor has been really good. Have you started yet? Let me know how it goes. My advise is be prepared for that PBDS and a long week of general orientation :)
  15. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    I think a large part of the stigma with Excelsior grads has come to light fairly recently. Californias decision made several other boards look into the program. Kansas stopped taking Excelsior grads with no warning ( I think something was worked ou...
