Just curious if there are any LPN's out there (besides me) that are having problems passing the RN exam? I love my job as an LPN, however, I graduated from nursing school (with a 3.9 gpa, I might add) and can't pass the NCLEX. I have severe anxiety...

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I sure needed that video! I am getting ready to take the NCLEX for the second time and need all the words of encouragement I can get!

Well..today is the day that my NCLEX results are suppose to be posted on the website! I'm so nervous I'm making myself sick! I just went on there and brought up the history of Pearsonvue under my name and I saw "passed", however, it was under my LP...

I'm ok....you know what, it's not meant to be at this time, it's ok...like my daughter says..."It's not the end of the world mom, you can take it again!"

Well...I just got my results and I failed........I'm going to keep my head up though, I have my LPN license and I'm going to study for the next 4 weeks and accomplish that RN license!! DARN IT!! I'm wanting to work in the Geriatric area, what do yo...

You are all so WONDERFUL! Thanks for the support.....OH boy...My husband tells me I better go take my anxiety out on a closet or something! Guess I'll check back in later!a:uhoh3:

I'm really in need of some advice here. I graduated in May 2007 and will take my NCLEX on Aug 15. I am currently working on an ortho floor at a major hospital in our area. I hired in through the internship program (which has been an excellent expe...

It's a HUGE challenge but I'm right there with ya! If you ever want to vent or share stories PM me! I am feeling really down about this whole thing but something will work out! It has too! I didn't go through 4 years of school to reach my goal an...

I've had a very interesting day here looking for a "new" job!! I am a new nurse as I said in a previous post and work on an ortho/neuro unit and I am just DONE with it! I'm too old for "that" kind of stress! Short staffed...awful preceptors....I'...

I'm with you there!

I've been at this job for 6 weeks. I don't think it is anxiety. (trust me, I know what a panic attack is and haven't had one yet!) I just don't feel like I will ever catch on. Ortho is very new to me, geriatrics is not. I'm thinking it's a comfo...

Heck no you are not a crazy newbie! I've been on my floor for 6 weeks and I truly dislike it! It's overwhelming to me! I'm not sure how much more I can put up with. I'm thinking that hospital nursing isn't for me, however, I'm not sure what kind o...

Any suggestions? I'm doing my geriatric careplan and my nursing diagnosis is Spiritual distress r/t separation from religion due to hospitalization. Can anybody give me some ideas on some objective signs that would lead to this diagnosis? I'm tryin...

Excellent! Thank you so much! That's exactly what I was looking for but you know when you just can't think anymore! LOL Thanks!

Congrats to you! I take the HESI on the 27th! This will be my second time around at it. The first time we took the test it was just given to us unexpectedly! This time around we know it's coming! Gotta pass with a 900 at our college so I'm crossi...

Personally, I worked as a CNA until I started nursing school. I thought it was a wonderful experience. One thing I definitely learned from being a CNA is that as a Registered Nurse, I will never treat my CNA's poorly. I thought it was a great expe...

What a great memory you made in that womans life and yours!:heartbeat You've brought tears to my eyes! I've had very similar experiences but yours was very touching! Someone once told me that when you don't cry with your patients it's time to give ...

I just study 20 minutes at a time. Studies have shown that after 20 minutes you lose your interest in what your doing. I'm in my last semester and so I can say it's worked for me. I also have children and I will tell you that they have always come...

:balloons: :monkeydance: 6 weeks left! I have senioritis so bad I can't stand it! It's been a long haul but now that I look back on it.....it seems like yesterday that I was starting out! Congrats to the rest of you also that graduate May, 2007!...

:monkeydance: Congratulations! Keep it up!

Congratulations on your first semester!:balloons: That's great! That's how my school is. It's either satisfactory or unsatisfactory! Congrats again on your SATISFACTORY work!

Congrats on the HESI! I take mine tomorrow! I'm alittle nervous about it....we have to pass it in order to get our ATT number......

Hi Lisa! I'm going to Mott CC and I am in my last semester...207/208/209. Don't let those instructors bring you down. They said the exact same thing to us. Make sure you build up some strong relationships with your fellow classmates, which will ha...

Good Luck to you! Let us know how it went! I remember my first day very clearly! You'll do just fine!

My youngest was just entering kindergarten when I started. My oldest was in 3rd grade. It's been extremely challenging. Thank goodness for a very supportive husband! He's taken personal time and sick time when the kids needed someone with them wh...
