I was in a somewhat similar situation a few years ago except my TEAS score and non-science GPA were slightly higher. I applied to ADN and ABSN programs as well. I was working as a health educator at...

I was super nerdy in high school. I studied during lunch time. I was MAJORLY shy and quiet. I had acne, braces, glasses and I was so socially awkward. Glad I outgrew some of those traits.
I agree with what another post said.. you'll have many more opportunities once you pass your NCLEX. Hang in there. It took me 2 months after graduating to even land an interview so you're well ahead...
Yes! I felt like I got most questions wrong, to be honest. I had a mix of SATA, prioritization, but then I'd get a random simple question and it completely threw off my confidence. Now, log off...

I'm so sorry to hear that. You WILL pass NCLEX though; just remember how hard you've worked this entire time. Maybe do more Uworld questions? Focus on prioritization, select all that apply. I set out...

Congrats on almost being done! I started applying right after I graduated from my program but it took 2 WHOLE MONTHS to get my ATT for the NCLEX. (I live in California). In that time, I interviewed at...
My beginning to Med Surg clinical was on a PostOp floor.. I mostly remember care plans, Ndx, researching meds prior to clinical. Skills included monitoring drains (JP, HemoVac); hanging IV primary...
