(Is that a fax machine?) I haven't posted in a while but I just got back in from taking my Nclex.... shut off at 75 questions and I felt like I aced it! It seems like more EC students ace this bad boy than others, am I wrong? Each question that popped up I was like, no way, I know the answer to that! I guess I will find out hopefully tomorrow or at the latest on Friday if I'm officially an RN but I'm feeling pretty confident, with the occasional doubts..... I try to push out of my head... like maybe I became delusional and THOUGHT I was getting them right..... :-) I took my CPNE last November (the 16th) got my ATT right after the first of the year and scheduled my exam to the first available spot! I was too late to enroll in that "Suzanne's Plan" that everyone raves about here but what I did to study was Saunders w/CD took just the exams it comes with & read through the rationales on the ones I got wrong. I also read Nclex Bullets for the RN or something like that, I borrowed from the library was a neat little read.

All right to answer any questions that were thrown in this thread!
I finished my CPNE Nov 16th.
EC gave me a graduation date of Jan 14th.
Got my ATT before the grad date, on Jan 4th.
I had 3 holidays in between those dates so my graduation date was a little later than the norm.
But there are things you can do to expedite the process, I have no idea how long it would have taken if I had just waited around. You can email EC to find out what you can do to speed it up if you want, they were helpful.
Thanks everyone too! As far as my next step: I am staying at my current place of employment with a RAISE!
