freaking out

[thebutrfly]

Soooo, I graduate in May of this year with my LVN from Copper Mountain College. (BTW if anyone in LA or San Diego needs an LVN program try Copper Mountain College. Its 11 months long and the desert sucks and the instrustor will scare the living crap out of you but there is pretty much no wait and they have a 100% NCLEX pass rate for the last 6 years!)

Anyways I am all freaked out about passing the NCLEX, finding a real job (because it seems no one in Nor Cal want to hire LVNs besides nursing homes) and because I cant find an LVN to RN where I could possiblge get a BSN anywhere! I am so frustrated with theory, care plans, NCLEX books, and taking the test. I totally feel like I am not ready and I dont know anything. Its really frustrating and I am supposed to be studying right now but I cant get into it!

Well first things first and since you have devoted all the time and hard work to being NCLEX eligible I would do questions after questions after questions until you are confident you will pass. Personally I didn't find it to be that hard but I tend to test pretty good.

Worry about getting a job and your RN after you pass the NCLEX. Good luck and know that you aren't the only one who didn't like LPN school. :)
