Congratulations to all of you that recently passed. I'm scheduled to take my test on the August 15th, but since I live in California, I won't get my result until weeks later. I am so jealous of all...
One of my instructors in my LVN program took the NCLEX 7 times and she went on to get her master's degree. So try not to be discouraged. Do you think you have test anxiety? I use to have test...
Obudsman & Scallywags: I wish you two good-luck and am sending you positive energy. I take my NCLEX on August 15th and I've finished Saunders Comprehensive Review book and CD. Now I'm working on...
I have 18 years experience in workers' comp so my advice is to ask your insurance carrier for an advance on your settlement. Let them know your situation about being behind on your rent and car...
Congratulations! I'm scheduled to take my test on August 15th so your tips will come in handy so thank you very much. Unfortunately I live in California and my result won't be available for several...
Hopefully it's the same as in California, but we did all of our fingerprints and completed the application prior to our graduation then our school submitted the applications to the BON in California...
I lost my mother 7 years ago and next month marks the 10th anniversary of my father's death. I started taking pre-requisite classes for the ADN program right after high school, but never finished...
I'm from the Philippines so before coming to the US when I was younger, I received a BCG vaccine so PPD testings are always positive. I'm required to have chest x-rays every 5 years and my doctor...
I'm a little confuse on how long it takes to find out whether we pass or not. I'm from California and this afternoon, I scheduled my test for 8/15. Joey323, it looks like you got your result in two...
I use to have test anxiety a couple of years ago when I started taking physiology. I spent hours studying for the first test and I felt that I knew the materials really well, but when I sat down to...
I'm sure you'll do fine. What book are you using for your review? I'm 2/3 of the way through with Saunders and the CD, then I'm moving on to the Q & A review
scallywags: Did you get your ATT yet? My school sent in our applications on 6/18 and it looks like 5 weeks is the length of time. If this is the case, then I should get my ATT the week of
Cuppy: She graduated May 2007 and she didn't work at all. She went to the Oakland campus and spent the night 4 days a week, so her mother in law took care of the kids and her home while she was away...
My friend's daughter in law graduated from Samuel Merrit last May and according to her, the cost of the program is closer to $70,000. She took her NCLEX last 6/25 and passed. She's now working 12...
I went back to school to finish my pre-reqs for my RN when I was 44 years old and luckily I could still use the classes I completed when I was younger so I only needed to take physiology. My college...
Don't hate me, but my program was fully paid for through government funding. This included tuitions, books, uniforms, etc. The only thing we had to get was a sponsor (LTC) to pay $1500 of the...
LVN Hopeful: I'm 46 years old and when I went back to school I was afraid I wouldn't be able to compete with the younger student. I missed making salutatorian by 1 point and I received an award for...
I just graduated from my LVN program on June 15th, after an 18 month program. I was also hoping that my friend had gotten accepted to the program at the same time, but looking back, I know that...
Some of the ideas that students in our class came up with were doing a basket of goodies. Since I was the class treasurer and in looking at our budget we agreed to giving the instructors pewter...
Hang in there ss07, I'm sure you passed. From what I'm hearing, the people that didn't study for the NCLEX are the ones failing. I'm currently doing anywhere from 150 to 250 questions per day so I...
We had our graduation ceremony last night and speeches were given by the class president, valedictorian, our college program liaison and we had two inspirational speakers (instructors in our
To: ss07 How was the exam? How many questions did you answer before the computer shut off? I had a 3 day NCLEX review last week with Yazmin Mojica and I'm using Saunders and her study plan. I'm sad...
I will be graduating on June 15th from an LVN program in California and from talking to students from the previous class, it took them a couple of months before they got their test dates. I'm hoping...
