Hi Everyone, Need some advice and suggestions, I have been on the waiting list for the RN program for almost 3 years and last month I got a call from the college telling me that I was #86 on the list and I wouldn't make it in this class but maybe the next one, well then I got a call yesterday that for one reasons or another that some people were not able to start on September 18th and that I could have a seat in the class, well at first I was so happy the day finally came and I would be a RN, I am currently a LVN working at a local hospital on the maternity floor, but then she told me I have until tomorrow by 12noon to make up my mind or they will give my seat to the next person. I really want to do this, but I am a single mom of 3 children and I would have to go part-time and not sure if I could make it finacially. Plus I will be given my job less than a week notice and the schedule is already made thru the end of October. I would hate to loos my job all together. Someone told me that there are people who will sponser nurses trying to go back to school? Does anyone now about sponsorship? And what do you think I should do? When a finished LVN and was scared to take the boards everyone on allnurses helped me thru the stress and gave me helpful advice, so I'm back for some more advice. Thanks Again Everyone, Karen

Thanks For the advice, thats a good idea of making a list of pros and cons when I go in the morning. LTC, I would have 32 patients I would be caring for, and it's 30 minutes from my home, at the hospital it's on the float pool but it's only about 5 minutes from my home, but I go tomorrow to both and I will make a list of questions tonight. Thanks Again for your advice, keep you posted..........

I am a new nurse. I just passed my boards and got my license. I applied at a LTC and at the local hospital. The hospital called me first and I went in and did all my blood work, backround check and physical and was waiting to be cleared. Well then yesterday the LTC called me and offered me a job with them and told me to come in tomorrow and do a physical. Well then this afternoon the hospital called me and said I was cleared and I can start orientation on Monday. I am so confused about which position to take. Would a hospital or LTC be past for a new nurse. Any input from others would be great. Thanks to All.... Karen

I know the number means nothing, but how do they determine if you passed. I know if you go all the way to 205 then they go back 60 questions, but from there I don;t know how the determine. Can anyone help me with this questions? Thanks

I took the nclex-pn yesterday in California and it went all the way to 205. I had alot of priority questions and fell like I failed the test, which I know we all feel like that when we come out of the test center. How do they determine if you go all the way. Thanks For any input to this:) Amy

I just finished school and took my nclex on Jan 12th and just found out that I passed. I am 40 years old with 3 children, well really 4 children including my husband, (ha-ha), but I wanted to wait until my children were older to go back to school and it was my time and I did it. I am not going to lie and say it was easy, because it wasn't at times, studying for test, go to clinicals and then going to work on the weekend and still cooking and cleaning everyday. But if this is what you really want like I did you can do it, as far as the test goes it wasn't that bad, I thought being out of school so long that I would look like a fool but it wasn't to bad. Well good luck and don't give up if this is what you want, it will benefit you and your family in the long run.:)

I took mine on Jan.12th and just found out yesterday that I passed. Several of us in my class have taken it already and it's taken about 2 weeks, all of us passed so far. Shouldn't be to long....

I took my nclex on Jan 12th, 2006 and found out today that I passed, computer cut off at "100" I was sick to my stomach. I used Saunders red book and cd, read every rational and then the blue book and cd, thanks suzanne it really does work, the wait its what kills you just not knowing if you passed or not, but its worth it in the end, God Bless to All................

I Passed........................I Passed, I am a Nurse.................

Hi Everyone, I took the Nclex on Jan 12th, 2006 and still no results, other classmates took theres before me and after me and got there results and passed. Is it true that if you pass you get your results quick and if it takes longer you failed? I am sick to my stomach over this and I called the board and asked if I went to Sacramento to there office if I can get my results in person and they told me NO!! California being the biggest state and in need for nurses you would think they would have a better system to get your results quicker. Let me know what you think! All suggestions would help me.

Thanks for your reply, I was so worried because noone I know cut off at 100. I will let you know when I hear something.

I called the Ca board of nursing today, and told them I took my nclex a feww weeks ago and I was moving if I needed to give my change of address or wait a few weeks to see if I got the results, she asked me for my SS# and said the results were still being processed. Do you think I failed and she doesn't want to tell me over the phone? I took the PN Nclex and it cut off right at question "100", I talked to alot of people and noone says anything about cutting off at "100" its either 85 or 205, nothing like mine. I don't know what to think and I can't sleep, I feel sick to my stomach and have headaches everday. Can anyone give me some advice as to what they have heard. Thank in Advance,

I took the PN nclex on thursday Jan.12 and it is eaten me alive. I live in California so who knows how long its going to take for me to find out the results. The test was out of this world, I am a great student, 3.75GPA and excellant reviews from clinical rotations. The test started off easy then got harder and harder tell I just had to put my head down for a minute and take a breath. I look at which number I was on and it was 99, I got to "100" and answered the question hit next and then it cut off on me. Honestly I can't remember half of the questions I had on there and not sure how I feel about it. Anyone know the wait time for slow-poke California to get your results. Ha-Ha.... THanks to Everyone for letting me vent you guys have been great for me all the way thru school and now and I'm sure the years to come as I continue on in the RN Program. I am greatful to all!! Karen

I just graduated in November from the lvn program and I worked full time the whole program at the hospital in the ER dept as a unit clerk. It was really hard and took alot of work juggling a husband, and three children and full time school, but I did it. If you work part time you will be fine. Good Luck, you can do it.

Took the test today and I am really stressed. I thing I failed the boards. It cut off at "100", any input about how it works and if its a good or bad thing if it cuts off at "100". Help!!
