Today I sat for my state boards and it was the hardest test I have ever took in my whole nursing experience. I am very confident when it comes to my test taking and my knowledge, but today I am not going to lie I felt inadequate at some point during this test. Part of it was because the machine did not shut down at 85 questions and other parts I just felt overwhelmed I guess. I did a 190 questions. The computer shut off and I felt like the interrogation was over. I was mentally and emotionally drained. I came home and got on my laptop, of coorifice the first thing I do is the Pearson Vue trick and when the error message popped up. I breathed a sigh of relief cause all my highs and lows of nursing school, ATI, and Kaplan paid off in the end. I just needed to tell this story thanks for reading. If I can give any advice is when it keeps going pass 85 and that pit of despair starts to raise push it back down, stay focus, say a prayer, and continue to do your best.

Congratulations on passing the Nclex! I will be attending the lincoln tech in edison, on Jan 18th. I have a few questions, I hope that you can answer them. What did you think of the curriculum? were you able to get clinical sites ? did you have to pay a certain amount a month? Upon successfully completing the program and passing the nclex, were you able to make a smooth transition into an LPN-RN program ? Have you had any luck finding a job? Sorry for the plethora of questions, I just really need to know what to expect. Thank you :)

I have worked a few cases through the staffing agency since I have graduated. I started taking classes for my RN but stopped cause I needed a job 1st and foremost. The curriculum is what you make of it and put into it. It is fast paced but when you finish you can pass your nclex and get a job but it is based on your thirst and desire. They give you the tools it is truly how you use them. I will say a lot people from my graduating class has been successful and others haven't not because of the school but because of themselves. I hope this was helpful.
