Thank you all so much! I'll try to get a hold of some of those books and go on the sites!

I took mine on Tuesday, July 3 and my results were up Thursday the 5th. That really suprized me bcause of the holiday:lol2:

Yup, that happened to me. I started at one school and had to finish at another school. It was my fault, though, cause I wasn't applying myself and didn't want to do nursing back then (I was a music major trying to make my parents happy:uhoh3:). Th...

It's been lower census for my floor, too, but at the same time, it can seem really busy! :uhoh21: Maybe that's just cause I'm a new grad.......

When I was in school I SWORE I'd never do Med-Surg and now that I've graduated, that's what I'm doing and I like it. Granted, that's 100% due to the people I work with, because they're making the learning experience enjoyable, but it's not what I'd ...

well, i hate spiders anyway:rolleyes:, but that's just what the patients come in saying. i don't know how they can tell what bit them or when, because sometimes the bites don't even hurt! i just didn't know if anyone had heard of such a thing........

At LEAST a can a day!

My friend started the a BSN program 2 months after we got pinned in December, but she's CRAZY! Personally, I wouldn't be able to do it, but that's just me. She's also worked at the ER she's at for the past 6-7 years in different capacities so she ...

Quick question.....I just started my job four weeks ago and the whole first week was in a classroom watching infection control videos, taking little tests, etc. The next three weeks were as follows: week one, I worked Monday through Friday, with Mon...

*bump*

That's weird....I have yet to see a post that required no nursing experience. I might not have started in Med/Surg if I'd found one!

:oI thought that was a little fast! Some of the girls I was in orientation with are already on their own, but they had all their clinicals at this hospital so they're familiar with everyone/everything already and only needed a little bit of help with...

My pay went up $1.70 after I passed mine.....

I took my test this last Tuesday and I found out my results on Friday. Pretty good considering the holiday on Wednesday! :)

To answer all the possible questions..... 1. I live in California 2. I took the KAPLAN course 3. I took the NCLEX on Tuesday 4. I went to 220-230ish questions (got tired of keeping track) 5. I felt like **** afterwards 6. Found out today that I PASS...

No, it doesn't matter about the last name...it's how fast your school gets your transcripts in. A girl I started orientation with 2 weeks ago had taken hers the week before that and STILL hasn't heard. I'm just glad I didn't have to wait so long......

Just took the NCLEX today...feel like crap about it. I did Kaplan, but I went waaaayyy past 75 before it shut me off. YUCK!!! Hope it wasn't as bad as it felt! I just didn't want to have to do the whole 265! :)

And now I'm scared! :uhoh21: I have moments when I think I'll be okay, and then others when I feel like no matter what I do, I'll never know enough. It's the NCLEX boobietrap!!!!!:angryfire

I have kind of a weird situation...I was done with my nursing classes last December, but because of a admin screwup I was one of about 30 people who had to take/re-take a couple prereqs this last semester. I started a Kaplan review course last week ...

Congrats!! I'm so jealous! :balloons: I wish California had that Quick Results thing....I don't think I can wait a month! I'd go postal!

Good luck to both of you!

As far as I can tell, there's NO comparing the two!

Thanks.....I got the Saunders book before I was pinned and also the Davis one, but the Saunders is easier for me to read. I figure if I finish my Kaplan course (and I'm doing the actual classes) and go through those books I should be okay, but I'm s...

I live in Roseville and just got hired at Sutter Roseville. Since I'm a new grad (IP) my wage will be $33.99/hr and night shift differential is $4.40 (which is good for me since I, too, prefer the night shift!:)) and weekend differential is $1.60. I...
