So proud of me right now! Passed LS2 on 8/1, passed Transitions on 8/19, passed LS3 today 8/20. . .and I must say I disagree about LS2 being the hardest. .. .midway thru LS3 I got a throbbing headache and that was at abt 1pm NY time, and now at 5p I still have it after taking meds (unusual)!

I'm nervous and excited at the same time because I have no idea what happens next at this point! Wth is the FCCA? I know y'all cant tell me, so scratch that question! CPNE!!! What do I do now? I have to wait until Monday when EC updates my status report.

Just be aware that the last update to those was 2009, so they are actually out of date! :)

Blakey, I'm gonna be honest with u, my brain is still frying from taking ls3 yesterday so I don't remember specifics. I do remember that the outline was correct n the majority of questions was from behavioral responses. Know symptoms n difference bet cushing's and Addison's, thyroid disorders, diabetes esp the meds and peak times for insulins, if I remember anything else i'll let u know. Also invest in a Saunder's NCLEX Review book
