  1. Question from a foreign nurse

    I'm not sure if this answers your question or not...but... The test asks you questions from each of the client needs areas. As you answer each question it will attempt to determine your knowledge level. As long as your overall score for the questio...
  2. Pearsonvue

    When I was talking with one of the employees during the break they said they did not recieve the results - that they just administer the test. I went to a small testing center where everyone was very friendly and helpful
  3. Leaving current career for N-school

    I just finished nursing school and have been working as an LPN while studying for my RN boards. I left a career where I made more money than I will as an RN. But I have enjoyed my new career as a nurse so much more than I ever enjoyed my career in ...
  4. anyone in the same boat?

    The general thought I heard in my 2 year program is that a 4 year program is good if you are looking to advance into a supervisory level - otherwise a 2 year program is the same. Yet - I've interviewed at some hospitals that stated they were requiri...
  5. Worry Worry Worry

    College admission processes appear to be rather bogus but I'm sure they have a reason for their madness. And once the class is picked I'm sure you will hear all the negatives about why this person should have been picked over that person. My colleg...
  6. How many programs/schools are you applying to?

    I applied to 6 and got accepted to 1. It is especially tough since different schools have different pre-req requirements. But it only takes one acceptance letter!
  7. It's taking so long!

    Memorize lab values and what they mean. This will help you when you do get into nursing school. I agree with MedicalNerd - take other classes and keep your knowledge base growing
  8. Organic Chemistry Fall 08

    I really liked organic chemistry too - I found it more interesting and found I used it the most during my nursing school career.
  9. am I crazy

    Online classes, just like on campus classes, depend on the teacher. Some online classes are much harder and the instructor piles on the work and others are a cakewalk. While I was doing my pre-reqs I was taking around 22 credits a term and able to ...
  10. I'm 38 years old and just finished nursing school. I also just took the NCLEX and failed. But you know what - I'm still going on. Nursing school has been a tough road - the toughest road I've ever been on. MUCH tougher than I ever thought it woul...
  11. Just finished nursing school and there is no way I would work during it. I was able to be a straight A student in my Pre-Reqs while carrying 22 credits a term. My nursing school wrapped up all classes (Pathophys, Pharm, Clinicals, Skills lab, etc) ...
  12. 265 and FAILED!!

    I too recently took the test and failed. I am in the process of researching how I want to proceed and am trying to decide if I should spend $500 on Kaplan or go with Suzanne's plan. Here's to a successful 2nd try for both of us! Would love to hear e...

    Congrats to you!
  14. How do I break up with my study buddy?

    My best nursing school friend and I were never able to study together - we had very different learning styles and even though we tried repeatedly to study together - it just never worked for us. Yet we remained very close friends. Each person has t...
  15. Geared up and ready to go!

    Congrats on the start of a whole new world. Keep the positive outlook!
