The trick does work!!!! Santa brought me my RN License!!!! Good luck to everyone! Study hard! Stay positive! :heartbeat

I took NCLEX PN in 2007 and passed with 85 ?'s. I left feeling I either failed really fast or passed quickly. More fearful of the first! I am a straight A student but this test was CRAZY! I knew I studied very hard attempting 4000 plus practice ?'...

I am an LPN but I think for the most part the NCLEX is anxiety provoking for all of us! :) There is so much power in positive affirmation and thinking. And, by the way, I left wondering if I failed even if the computer stopped at the minimum quest...

Hi sOOnRN, I graduated Dec 19, 2007 and took NCLEX Jan 11, 2008. I passed the NCLEX-PN at 85 ?'s. I recommend to take it STAT! Statistics prove more pass NCLEX when taken w/in the 1st month after graduation. Do tons of NCLEX RN questions 3000-500...

I PASSED!!!!! Thank goodness! LPN!!!

Anxiety r/t test shutting off at 85! My heart was pounding at 84. I was thinking, "I wonder if it's shutting off at 85?". Surely I didn't stink that bad. I studied hard, I'm an A student. Well it's out of my hands now! I just hope all the studying (4...

I feel your pain LOL...I test Friday and I feel myself starting to panic. I'm trying not to since that does no good at all. I'm focusing on pharm and well, just learning to make good choices when I have to guess. I was a 4.0 graduate and I will b...

Good luck!!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!!!

Thank you for the encouragement! I agree! Thinking positive helps as well. With every action there is a reaction so make your thoughts about taking boards positive. I am a bit nervous but that is motivation to STUDY! 7 days til I sit for my NCLE...

There is power in prayer and it certainly won't hurt any of us! I'll take all the help I can get! Thanks for the prayers! Let's keep the light going. I just graduated Dec 19th and I sit for boards Jan 11. I'm flipping out a little thinking I might b...

Thanks for all the posts! This web site is so helpful and has saved me time and money! I'm recently graduated Dec 19th and sitting for boards on Jan 11th so I'm looking for material to prepare with. I'm working with Saunders Comprehensive mainly. ...

I need advice please. I have my AA from Longview CC. I got an office job and left it at that. I'm still at that "office" job but I want to be a nurse. I have been busy raising my children to a more independent age etc. Now they are 13 and 9 so I'm ...

Anthony, I understand your dilemma. I am in LPN school part time evening weekends and it will take me 18 months to finish. I'm 7 months in and I love it. My suggestion is make sure the LPN school you choose has National League Nursing (NLN)Accredi...

Hi dconnors! Wow that's expensive! I'm going to Penn Valley's LPN eve/wknd program. Have you looked into going to school there? It's a lot cheaper and they do have a great reputation. I have been told pay is anywhere from $15-20 per hour. Many ...

Hey All Things Bright! You are SOOOOO RIGHT!!! I'm 4 weeks into Penn Valley's LPN program, evening/weekend. It is AWESOME, HARD, BUSY and FUN! The teachers Dianne and Dana are wonderful. I am confident that they do in fact prepare you with the kn...

Hi fellow PV students! I'm starting next Tuesday 8/8 in the Part-time eve/wkend LPN program. We have class Tues, Thurs 5p-9p and e/o wknd 2 12 hour clinicals. My "personal wait" was long! (since summer 02). I had let go of the dream until the let...

Aubrey, Thanks so much! I did make the decision to go to Penn Valley. I went for orientation in May and after meeting Sharon Graves and Diane Beetle I knew it was where I'm supposed to be. I felt very comfortable with the enviroment. I'm so excit...

The waiting stinks! I waited so long I'd forgotten I'd put myself on the list for LPN eve/wkend until the acceptance letter showed up! I'm like you and couldn't do FT days or I could have gotten in that Fall 2002 LPN. I really want RN but I'm not ...

Man! How discouraging...I don't blame you for going to NAU. How are you juggling the financing? If you don't mind my asking. Unfortunately, I'm going mostly on "loans" so money is a factor. It seems at times, depending on how many credits I take, I m...

I know what you mean! I am really excited to be starting the LPN in August. After my LPN class of 17 months I'm only 36 credit hours from ADN. I'll have 18 credit hours of pre-requisites with Cell Bio, Anat and Phys, Psych 243, and Micro to comple...

Thank you! I will call for a packet. I may not have mentioned that my science classes are over 5 years old. I may have to retake them. Right now I'm not giving up the LPN spot but I will call Graceland today. I have heard good things about them....
