one hour for 75 questions. That was from the time I walked in the test center doors until I was out to my car. Sara

I passed with 75 questions, but a friend of mine passed with 85. I am sure it was just a case where you needed to answer a few more questions in order to meet minimum competency. Good luck and let us know how you did!! Keeping my fingers crossed fo...

I can't begin to tell you what a relief this is! I was surprised to see my "unofficial" results up at the Pearson website, but there it was this morning. I was at my parent's house and I woke everyone up in the house to tell them I passed. Let me ...

Currently working on an Orthopedic / Neuro / Med-surg carryover floor but mainly ortho/neuro. I am waiting for a L & D position in this particular hospital to open up. I did my preceptorship there and they said they would seriously consider me ...

I am sorry you did not pass. Big hugs to you! I am sure you will be a great nurse! Unfortunately I don't think this test is "fair" in respect to testing you on nursing knowledge or if you compare it to tests you took in nursing school. Don't give...

Well yes and no. I really think I prepared well for this test, and I don't think it begins to test your book knowledge. Most of my questions were prioritizing, delegating, and nutrition discharge instructions. I did have questions directed towards...

Out of curiosity, anxiety and probably sheer stupidity, I went to the Pearson "vue" website to see what it said about my test. It has went from "status unknown" to "successful delivery". Does anyone know how long it is from the "successful delivery...

Yes I took it this morning. I am an absolute wreck. I keep going over what questions I can remember in my head and it is literally making me crazy!!!! I have got to find something to occupy my time!!!! Thanks! SARA

I am an LPN waiting for my letter to take the RN state boards here in Illinois. I work on an ortho neuro floor where on a given night I can have as many as 7 patients or as few as 5. Sara

Okay I finished my preceptorship on Tuesday and finished my preceptor journal this morning. As soon as I turn this in I am offically DONE with nursing school!!!! It has been a long haul but I finally made it!!! I have to pick up my cap and gown on...

Rnnurse2b, I went to a junior college in Joliet. I have already accepted a position at the hospital of my choice on an ortho/neuro unit which also has some med-surg patients. I did my preceptorship in L & D and have already been told that after...

I take my final tomorrow then all I have left is my preceptorship in L & D and a preceptor journal. I am so excited!!! Our pinning ceremony and graduation are both on May 16th. As excited as I am to be done, I am getting depressed about not s...

Today I turned in my very last process paper/careplan that I will ever ever ever have to write!!!!! It is such an awesome feeling knowing I will never have to research and write another one. If I NEVER see another careplan it will be too soon for m...

Hi! What hospital are you interviewing with? I am in Illinois but due to my location I only have a few hospitals to choose from. I had my first interview yesterday and all went well I should hear something by next week. Good Luck! Sara

I got to spend the morning in the ER for clinicals. The day started of REALLY slow but picked up quickly. Most of the cases were elderly with lacerations or hypertension or weakness. HOWEVER, we did have a pneumothorax with tension case. It was s...

ME! ME! ME! May 16th can't get here soon enough!!!! YIPPPEEEEEE! Now off to work on a burn presentation!!! Hugs! SARA

Jean listen really really good here: YOU ARE NOT KIDDING YOURSELF!!!!! okay, now, I was 28 when I started my prerequisites and i too did well on that darn test except for the math. I took the math class that they required to get into the program an...

Good luck to all of you starting in January. It will be my last semester (YIPPPEEEEEE) It will be hard at times but you will get through it. My advice is to lock you hubbys and kids in a closet when you want to study. Just kidding! Again good lu...

I think I am the only person in the world who thought the HESI test was a breeze. It was nothing compared to the darn LPN exam. I have no explanation as to why, except we didn't need to get a certain grade on the HESI to pass the semester like some...

My current clinical instructor is driving me insane. She is asking us questions about our drugs at clinicals and we need to know their action down to the cellular level. Let me tell you most of my clinical group has the dang drug book memorized as ...

Thanks ladies. Yes she was one of our pharm instructors 1st and 2nd semester. I guess I wouldn't mind if I got to research my patient the night before and could look up more on the medications, but in 3rd semester we don't find out anything about o...

I am sure you did great! Everyone I know but one person had their computer shut off at 85 questions and they passed. The only person that it didn't, it went to 103 and she passed also!!! I know how stressing it is to wait for those results, I was ...

To say that i am excited is an understatement!!!! I am a 3rd semester nursing student in a 2 year program and this is the first test of the semester. I always dread the first one with a new teacher. It was over cardiac, complete with blood tests, ...

I had to buy an Intravenous Medication book for nursing school this semester. Can you tell me if this is something I will use after I graduate in the "real world" or will I wish I had it as a reference? Most of the previous students I have spoken t...
