   Born2bRN replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in North Carolina

   WOW!!! That's awesome. I actually live in Burlington. I used to work at Duke for about 7 months. I wouldn't mind driving to attend these classes. How does the program work? Only 4 hours a week for a year? If you get anymore information on the prog...

   Born2bRN replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in North Carolina

   NC Girl RN, I have also sent my unofficial transcripts to be reviewed by UNC-CH. I have heard that the program is difficult to get into, but what program isn't. Go to NCBON.COM to take a look at different RN-BSN programs in the state, just so you c...

3. FAILED...but now you passed??

   Born2bRN replied to princezzzz's topic in NCLEX

   Well ladies, I failed nclex 4x in less than 2 years. At first I used Kaplan twice because they guaranteed a pass, and if you didn't pass, they wanted you to try again. Both times I failed. I spoke to my Nurse Manager who suggested I take the NCLEX-PN...

   Born2bRN replied to Born2bRN's topic in Post Graduate

   Thank you. I decided to take the prep class, so that begins Jan. 10 to Feb. 21. Application deadline is March 31st, so I will probably take the GRE's again first week in March. I know I will probably be cutting it close, but I did call the Master's ...

5. The GRE Blues

   Born2bRN replied to Born2bRN's topic in Post Graduate

   Thank you both for the response. I will definitely check out my local community college to see if they offer a GRE Prep. The prep I was going to take is called "Prep Success". People have "reported" a 200-300 point increase after taking it, so it is...

6. The GRE Blues

   Born2bRN posted a topic in Post Graduate

   Hello, I recently took my GRE test in preparation for entrance into an RN-MSN program. I was totally in shock when I viewed my score at the end of the test. It was awful and too bad to mention. It was under 900. Anyway, the worst thing is that I sent...

   Born2bRN replied to SugarPlum2003's topic in NCLEX

   SugarPlum2003, I would suggest Suzanne's Plan to you. It is the best thing out there. Like everyone stated earlier, you can find it as a stickie on the top of the page once you enter the "NCLEX DISCUSSION BOARD". Just remember, NEVER GIVE UP... ~K~

    Born2bRN replied to Born2bRN's topic in NCLEX

    RafRN and Cardiheartnsg, I want to let you both know never give up. You all know the old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try try again". It took my almost 2 years and 5 NCLEX RN exams later. YOU BOTH CAN DO IT... Not passing the NCLEX is nev...

    Born2bRN replied to Born2bRN's topic in NCLEX

    Well, before I took NCLEX the first time, I worked with a male Nurse. He was a lawyer for some years and decided to switch to Nursing. He told me that he never touched a reveiw book. Once he scheduled his test, he went on vacation, came back, and jus...

    Hi Guys, I was just wondering if anyone has passed the NCLEX-RN studying 3 wks or less. I have a couple of friends who just read the strategy books and went right in, took the test, and PASSED. Right now I am doing Suzanne's plan. I guess some people...

    Born2bRN replied to mimidragon's topic in NCLEX

    mimidragon, Your story sounds similar to mine. Just know that you are not alone in this process. Everyone is right, if you stop, then you have failed. Keep going and keep trying until you become an RN. I graduated May of 06, and I didn't PASS Nclex f...
