   sydie posted a topic in NCLEX

   I just found my name on the BRN website with an *RN* next to it! I had 79 questions...I didn't think that the test was that difficult and was confident when I left the exam in 40 minutes. I had about 5 meds, but they were basic, no math, 2 select all...

8. Where are all of the May 2007 grads?

   sydie replied to CityKat's topic in General Students

   I will be graduating May 16th (or around that day). I can hardly believe the time has come...I remember how far away "May, 2007" sounded when I first began! I finished 3rd semester last Tuesday...ended up with a "B" in the main class (mix of psych, g...

9. Frustrated!!!

   sydie replied to eandgsma's topic in General Students

   Hi- Wish I could tell you that 3rd is better, but it's not! The final was brutal, no matter how much I studied it didn't matter. Most of the info had never been covered and there was so much psych on there! Good luck! Wendy

    sydie replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Students

    I received my bachelor's in Liberal Studies in 1999 and my elementary school teaching credential in 2000. I am now about to begin semester 3 of 4 at my local CC. It was the cheapest way to go...as a matter of fact, between my grant from the CC that p...

    We take a 10 question test every semester. We can miss one and have two chances to take it. If someone were to fail on attempt 2, they are required to re-enroll for that semester at a later date. For our third semester, the test will be the second da...
