oldernursingstudent, i am very happy for you, congratulations!

http://www.learningtext.com it helped me so much, at least the fact that i passed with the minimum number of questions after using it leads me to believe it helped!

oldernursingstudent.. i hope you passed, just take some deep breaths and take care, hang in there.

i passed.. i got my results (posted online @bon) within 24 hours. goodluck everyone!

board of nursing website had my license number listed :) GOOD LUCK! I took it yesterday.

I passed! Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and words of wisdom.

Ditto. Today. 85. :yeahthat:

Just... good luck. The hardest part will probably be time management (it is for me). Just be willing to learn and it will hopefully all come together. Being nervous isn't always a bad thing, by the way. I would be worried if you weren't at least a...

thank you oldernursingstudent. i wanted more too!

Took mine today. Shut off at 85, I am FREAKING OUT needless to say. *sigh*

Thanks so much for the encouragment, I'm so nervous and the days just keep passing by. Everyone I work with keeps asking me when I take the boards.

when you first did the tests on there how did you score? i took them all and scored mostly in the 60s and it really scared me. I have since retaken many of them and gotten between 85-100%. Just wondering how your situation compared. thanks!

that's great to hear. how long did you study with it? i take my nclex on the 28th and have been using ncsbn online.

I just did my first NG tube yesterday and it was great.. thanks to being confident, having a good preceptor and gettin that tube down there quickly everything worked out well! I was nervous but so excited to actually do it. I still haven't inserted...

I guessed on so many questions and still passed with a high score so keep an open mind! Which DTCC do you attend? I went to Owens.

Definitely possible to pass. I had a study guide for the exam and hardly used it and passed pretty easily. Focus on English, Math and Science basically. Pick up a study guide at the bookstore and set a date to take the test! Get it over with :)

How common is it to be in this situation? In clinical only a few people had a chance to insert (I think 2 or 3 out of 8 in my group). Not only have I never inserted a foley, but I've never inserted or D/C'd an NG tube, among other skills. The only th...

Thanks for the tips!

I am a new grad and will be working on a medsurg floor starting this week. As with Vman, here in Delaware it's not within the scope of practice to have LPN's do new admit assessments. (at least where I work) ChronicNurse gave very good advice. Good ...

we did it on dummies but not everyone got a chance to do it in the clinical setting. i do agree with you though.

Tweety- I already got set up with a preceptor. She is a wonderful nurse with tons of experience... although, recently while working as a tech I overheard her mention how she doesn't enjoy precepting... AND someone told me that she recently made a ne...

Jasano- all i can say is THANKYOU!

I remember taking the NLN. I didn't study at all for it :/ I did although have a review book that I purchased in case I ever got around to studying. It has all kinds of stuff on the exam.. and I would encourage you to buy a review book. Google it an...

Well I take it tomorrow and the nursing educator put me at ease by telling me I can use a calculator and they supply us with med books so that's awesome. What more could I need :)

I am starting orientation this week and have to take a med test. i've obviously taken med tests before, but it was in school and not at a hospital so it wasn't as big of a deal as this (to me). I'm nervous... I know my math but I'm not sure what meds...
