It's only been a couple of hours and already the wait is killing me! How am I supposed to wait 2 days?!?! Boy that nclex was a doosie! AT LEAST 50-60% of my 75 questions were SATA. At least! Maybe more. Tons of infection control, lots of prioritizing...

Thanks everybody!

Yay! I just wanted to say, I passed NCLEX!!! Now I can say it's officially over, and the next journey can begin!!:balloons:

I PASSED! I PASSED! Yay yay yay!! :balloons::anpom: My name is showing up on the bon website under registered nurse with a pretty license number and everything!! I thinks its book burning time!!!

The ones we practiced with were supposedly unretractable, but if you took a unfolded paper clip and put it into the little pinhole at the bottom you can return it to normal. It took practice to get it just right.

Once you get into a rhythm it will calm down. 1st semester is always hard because you are new to the whole nursing school thing. Soon you will learn to organize you time, and will get a feel for what to focus on, and what is not as essential. Like wa...

Probablly! Today was the first day the ATT would let us take it, and this was the only day open for the rest of the month. I couldn't go the the place by my house as it was booked, had to drive to hurst. Couldn't take it at the beginning of Sept d/t ...

So, hows everyone doing? Have classes started for you guys? I just took my NCLEX a couple of hours ago. The next 2 days are sure to be agonizing, I hope the results come in sooner, (now!). That nclex sure is a tough one!

Thanks Josh, we are all real nervous about it. Tommorrow!!! They did not have the books pack available for us like they have had for the next 2 classes. I know it's alot upfront, but it sounds nice, because with us everything was so disorganized, alo...

:anpom:Hey everybody, 2 weeks left for us 4th semester students! I can't believe it, we're almost there! :yeah::nuke: How are you 2nd semester students doing?

My hands always shake, not just when I'm nervous. It hasn't been too much of a problem. I have been able to start IVs and everything fine, once I got the hang of it. It is a bit annoying when patients notice and ask why I'm shaking, but I just expla...

The OB, peds, and psych classes are only 4-5 weeks each, so it shouldn't overlap for you, and it won't be bad at all. We are taking OB and peds now in 4th semester and we took psych in 2nd. Actually we finish OB this week and peds start next week, so...

Congrats coolpeach! :yeah:I am happy for you, welcome to nursing school, :), and hang on, it goes by fast, and will be over before you know it!

Yeah, I never had Mrs Routh for clinicals, but for End of Life and Fundamentals she was great, and I love her, but she was hard on her groups for our class too, and some people would get upset. She asks alot of questions because she wants you to kn...

I know, I can't believe it's almost over, time flies fast! :) Wow, that sounds like it will be intense for lecture in half a summer semester, as that is alot of material, but you will do fine. That's how our 1st semester was.

I had Dr. Meyer as my instructor this semester for our preceptorship, so I can't tell you much about how he would be at the hospital, because I don't know. The preceptorship is totally different than a normal clinical rotation, in that you are assign...

I've never heard of Shamblin, they must be new, but I've had Mrs McLelland and Dr. Meyer and they are both awesome, very laid back and knowledgeable. What are your clinical locations?

Not to mention that the picc lines are sutured in! How could she not tell the difference?!?!?!

I'm not sure, but I think that they would ask for a parent's signature, but you can still take the course.

Hey! For 1st semester we all had the rolling backpacks and they were helpful. After that I could get by without it as there were not as many books in 2nd and 3rd semester, either that or I just decided I didn't need them all with me at class. :) At ...

Oh don't worry, this is not the first time the bookstore has made a mistake. For our class they only ordered 20 kits, the instructors told them, you need 40, we have 40 students, so they go and order 10 more. Um, still not enough! Not to worry, th...

What can I say, I'm a night owl. As far as last minute reading, I know how that is...

Welcome 1st semester students! Yeah, you gotta love Mrs Routh. :) I think in success camp part of the purpose is to try to scare you, honestly. While I wouldn't underestimate the amount of work, reading, and time involved, it is quite doable if you...

I know how ya'll feel. I know it probablly isn't too encouraging as you are feeling very disappointed and stressed, but I just wanted to say don't give up. You never know if someone else could drop, or decide they can't do this now and a spot will ...

Congrats to you who got e-mails today from the class before you!!!!:balloons::balloons: I thought it would be today, the poor secertary was running around like crazy today. :) I wish you all the best in your journey, and hang in there, it's worth it!
