Well this has been a DAY to REMEMBER!!! WE drove to the test site early on Sunday, in order to spend the night and really be ONTIME for the BIG DAY~~ and woke up to a river of flood water flowing right up to the front door of the testing site!! It rained over 14 inches and we couldn't even leave the hotel for all of the water!!! No one could get in or out.

:( ALL PEARSON VUE EXAMS WERE OFFICIALLY CANCELLED :bluecry1:

Now I am back to playing this waiting game AGAIN!!! I may not get to test until JULY....who knows??? At least they are not re-charging me another $200.00...YEAH!!!

My Instructor said... some day I will look back at this and just :rotfl: !!!!

Oh..BLUEYESOFTEXASNURSE....what a turn of events....However look on the bright side ( there is always one ya know..) Anyway this will give ya a little more time to study....Also I agree with what your Instructor said,...Hang in there,..everything will work out just fine!!

TashaLPN2006,...Great going on the job!!.. The agency I currently work for has offered me the same....Once I begin school, I can work as little or as much as I want!! I'm opting for the "Little" tho, and will start out working only weekends, say like Fri & Sat nights ( 11-7) The $$ in not bad between $10-$12.00 per hour.....

I'm hoping to be one. We have to have our applications in by June 30th and will be notified by August 1st if we got into the Fall program which starts September 5th. I just received my NET scores today(we had to call since we were the last testing date for Fall) She said I did excellent. When we went and took the test she said if you want to get in shoot for a 65+ on the math since that's what they look at and I received an 85 so hopefully I'll get in.

Hi [wasted-enough-time]

Thanks for your encouragements....

I just finished Term 1 last week (I am in a LVN program).We had to do a project on Nurses Practice Act and I along with my group did a video presentation and it was so hilarious but guess what we got only a 87% for that .Anyways just felt like sharing with you guys..Thanks for reading.

I'm in a 12mth LPN program and I graduate in Feb 2007. I've been doing good so far and pass my first two exams in Med surg w/flying colors, except we have a comprehensive exam after each unit we pass to see our level. The first exam was fundamentals,I failed it.I was so depressed and down. We get to retake our exams but if I don't pass I get pushed back and graduate late. I've been doing so well, I need some encouragement.

GOOD LUCK to you in your program!!! What helped me the most was the Saunders CD. I did about 100-150 questions every day to simply study. We also had to complete each section with a score of 85% or better, and turn them all in by a certain deadline. Fundamentals was a hard section, but very important!! This is an area that usuallly trips students on the exit (HESI) exams as well. I think it is because it is done so early in the year- that some of the info is LOST!!! I also worked with Lipincott and Mosby's CD's to prepare for the NCLEX-PN~~ that I took actually yesterday afternoon. It was nothing like I expected and it was really tough!!

The screen turned BLUE at 85 Questions and SO DID I !!! :(

I look really FUNNY walking around with my fingers and toes crossed!!! LOL!!!

This waiting is HORRIBLE!!! I think we also learn PATIENCE in NURSING SCHOOL...we WAIT and WAIT...FIRST for the acceptance letter to arrive~~and THEN~~ Word from the board, the ATT, and then THE PASS?FAIL answer~not even mentioning waiting for the actual license in the mail.

OK enough of that..BACK TO WAITING..for results from PEARSON VUE.. :crash_com

BLUEYESOFTEXAS....

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but from what I recall reading on some of the boards here,..that ( Exam stopping at 85-Q) is a Good sign!!!! I hope some of the others who have "Been there" pop in and offer more insite...

Anyway Much success, I'm sure you done well...Keep us posted ok?
