Does anyone feel like this???

Thanks Kris,

I graduated this year from the Mount...I know plenty of Michelles, so I dont know which one you are referring to. :rolleyes:

Ive been trying to study hard, but it is so hard to concentrate. I started orientation two weeks ago for IP and been trying to study, but its so hard to read that whole kaplan book and I lose focus fast..and Ive been missing out on so much with my family.

Im taking this week off to do more qbank and watch the kaplan content videos.

My question trainer 7 score was a 63% and my readiness test a 65% and my qbank is 62%, so hopefully I do well. Thanks for telling me that Kaplan helps, I feel much relieved...Good idea with using the calendar..I will do that too. So did you get the job at cedars...?

those are pretty good scores. I got only a 61 in the readiness test. But my last qtrainer was 72. You've studied pretty damn hard cause your scores reflect it. I've known people who got 40's on their qbanks and qtrainers but passed still. So just keep it up, and hopefully you'll be an RN in no time, and wont need your IP. I have my Cedar's interview in about an hour, so I'm just getting everything ready. Which hospital are you at? and how do you like it so far?

well my interviews are both in the ICU and Cardiac Telemetry. So its like I'll just pick whats the best. One thing thats pretty cool, when you find out that you passed, It'll be hard for you to sleep that same day, cause I found out I passed like in the morning at 4am, and I couldnt sleep till the next day LOL. Ill let you know how it goes..

Good luck, Kris!!...I know about checking the website. It updates at 0330 every day, sometimes longer...Ha that sucks. Plus my exam is on July 1st and since July 4th is on a Friday, I have to wait to find out if I passed the next week...argh!!

By the way, did you go to Chalon or Doheny??? I went to Chalon and those were the 4 longest years of my life...

Clara...

well maybe you know a friend of mine, her name is Maritess. Well I went to both. I went to chalon and went there the first 3 years, but I didnt do well in Peds, so I just finished up at Doheny. But yea Tess's boyfriend Ryan took it took it last year on July 1. And he thought that his name wouldnt show up cause of the july 4th weekend, but his name show up still. My girlfriend probably graduated with you, her name is Michelle Nunag. I dont know if you ever had her in a clinical or something.

Well, Hurst was pretty good I think. They went back over the MAIN concepts in 3 days for all of the major systems plus peds, delegation, ob/women's health, and psych.

I'm in Arkansas... They say 2-3 days for results... I completely forgot about the 4th weekend... I probably wont know until the next week then Oh well :)
