All of our class got their accept to test and some have already tested. We graduated May 13th as well. I got my accept to test May 24th. I sit for my boards Monday June 5th. JUST A LITTLE FYI: I can tell you most of my class did the Drexel Nclex review and found it VERY HELPFUL. The cost is 299.00, it is a 4 day review and includes a Q&A CD and also you have access to Drexel's website for 2 months which has additional Q&A and review material...definately worth it! I also have reviewed the KAPLAN BOOK and found it even more helpful. Basically when you sit for your boards, remember ABC's, MASLOW's and what action you can do now and what can wait. Also when prioritizing and delegating...who is the most stable to delegate to an LPN. If there is an unstable patient, the RN needs to assess them. Some of the KAPLAN Q&A are the most difficult questions and you definately need to have the knowledge in order to answer. The questions are NOT knowledge based. NCLEX basically wants to know how you APPLY the knowledge you have and critically think. Let me tell you, there are some pretty hard questions in the KAPLAN book. Also, if you get a practice question...remember to throw out Psychosocial distractors first because you need to focus on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs...physical needs. I hope this info helps any of you who are still studying and waiting to test. PRACTICE all of the nclex questions you can! Good Luck

just graduated in arkansas may 12th and our school mailed our info on may 15th. just wondering has anyone got there acceptant to test for boards yet? or does anyone know how long it usually takes to get your letter.

i am just across the state line in ok, 3 of my classmates and myself sent our $200 fee and application via internet and just got our att last night, another classmate sent everything in via usps and she has not yet received her att, perhaps it takes longer that way b/c someone has to enter everything into the computer?

btw i graduated may 4th

My friend got her temp. permenant 06-03-06, but it didn't say anything about when she could test. We graduated from SEARK, I still am awaiting my temp. and my acceptance to test. This is driving me NUTS.

Thanks,

Penny

wishing you all the best as you sit in for your boards!!! wow you didn't waste any time getting it done! way to go! i have to agree with you about kaplan, not everyone has the same opinion but i think kaplan has helped me tremendously in terms of being able to recognize if i need more assessment or go ahead and implement, it has also helped me with prioritizing.
