Apr 26, 20179 yr Hello all! I was lucky enough to get accepted to do block 4 at GWCC during the summer. I will graduate in August now instead of December! Woo! That being said, does anyone have an recommendations for extra books or anything that helped in block 4? (Block 4 is now Peds then Critical Care.) Thanks!

Jul 28, 20178 yr Good luck! I can't wait to hear how it turned out. I am beyond excited to be staring my journey with UIU this fall.

Aug 10, 20178 yr Author thats crazy you just finished! my friends at SCC just finished two weeks ago. so how was it with working? is it doable?If you could work part time or PRN, that'd be better. I wouldn't suggest full time.
Aug 10, 20178 yr It was intense, but good! Now it's done and I just wait to take NCLEX! :)Hi rachaelofcourse, congratulations! :) How soon will you able to take your NCLEX now? I'm just curious because I'm about to start my block 4 and I have heard different answers as to how early we can take the NCLEX after graduation.

I'm just curious because I'm about to start my block 4 and I have heard different answers as to how early we can take the NCLEX after graduation.It depends on how quick the school is to send the stuff to the board! We've been told if we don't have our ATT within 2 weeks to contact the school and make sure that the paperwork was sent. Once you have your ATT, you can schedule to take it any time. There's only 2 testing facilities in the valley, 1 in Tucson, 1 in Vegas, and 1 in San Diego, so you might have to wait a little bit for a test date. Hope this helps!

There's only 2 testing facilities in the valley, 1 in Tucson, 1 in Vegas, and 1 in San Diego, so you might have to wait a little bit for a test date. Hope this helps!The BON and Pearson vue state that there will be at least one date available within 45 days of getting your ATT. My original NCLEX date was at about 40 days out. It I checked the site every day and was able to take it at just under 2 weeks from getting my ATT. People cancel and reschedule their test dates all the time so earlier dates pop up. A lot of my class mates were able to reschedule their dates for sooner then their original by just looking.
Nov 18, 20178 yr Author How did you do? Is it difficult?I did fine! The time crunch kind of sucked, but it's doable.
Apr 12, 20188 yr Hi! I found out I was accepted into block 4 summer at GWCC. I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the schedule that has the breakdown of what reading we are suppose to do for each day and what specific topics we cover? I know it will be different when I start but I want to get a head start during the 2 week break in between blocks 3 and 4! Thank you
