1. Took NCLEX this morning...shut off at 75..HELP!

   I think every state uses the Pearson testing group because it's a national nursing boards standardized test. If that's the case, anybody should be able to get their results in 48 hours from Pearson. Could be wrong though. Just a thought.

2. or tech

   mitek replied to carz's topic in Operating Room

   Yea, from what I understand, OR tech school is about 18 months. You cold go for six months more and have an associates degree in nursing. Although, again, I recommend going for a BS in nursing if you want to take it further. Good luck!

3. Wow, I guess it's official!

   we're just outside Atlanta on the northend. Little town called "Tucker Georgia" and lovin' it!!! This is a nice state.

4. or tech

   mitek replied to carz's topic in Operating Room

   I was an OR tech for a long time before I started/graduated from nursing school. It's a nice "stepping stone" job, but I wouldn't recommend it as a career. Please advise anybody who's thinking of going to ORT school to apply that time and money to n...

   I am now officially and legally a registered nurse in the state of Georgia!!!! Wow, what a feeling to look on the website and finally see your name!!! I guess those 4+ years were worth it after all!! Can't wait to go to work Monday and put on my NEW ...

   mitek replied to mitek's topic in New Nurse

   I'll be working at St Joseph's Hospital, which in my opinion is the BEST hospital in Atlanta! Seriously, it's a great place to work. I've worked there as a tech for 5 years, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. As far as my license posting, I guess 7-...

   Hey CDA, a fellow Georgian! Yea, that was the longest two days of my life. But now, waiting for my license to post is becoming the longest time in my life. The Board of Nursing website says "7-10 business days", so I'm hoping any day now it'll post....

8. what are u doing with your degree?

   mitek replied to icudavis's topic in New Nurse

   I don't know what's involved in taking the NCLEX in another state, but if it were me, I'd take it in your home state. All states have reciprocity, so getting a license in another state would not be a problem at all. Also, you probably have contacts ...

   Thanks Purple. I'm glad to be in the ranks. I've been a scrub tech for a long, long time, so this is something I really wanted. I'm planning to go to grad school in the summer, so if had to wait to take the NCLEX again in three months, I'd miss th...

    mitek replied to mitek's topic in New Nurse

    I'm tellin' ya', I walked out of that test just knowing that I had not passed it. Some of those questions were out of this world. But, from what I've read, and experienced, the people who thought they failed it in 75 really did better than they tho...

    mitek replied to mitek's topic in New Nurse

    To be honest with you, I can't tell you what to expect. I bet I did over a thousand practice questions and I still felt lost when that first question popped up. Just know the basics and read the questions really carefully. Good luck.

    Hello. I took the NCLEX yesterday (12/31) and now the anxiety and waiting are killing me. I felt like I was not doing well, because it was "NOTHING" like what I expected. All I could think of was, "please don't shut off at 75". Well, on the 75th qu...
