HeartJulz- I'm sorry you're so stressed about this! For sure the NCLEX and all that goes with it is stressful and frightening, but you're prepared for it. No matter how tempted you are, don't study...
Kithzeez, best of luck to you as you begin the new term! How is it going so far? I've finished the assignments for the first week of English, and today/tonight I'll be going to anatomy class and then...
HeartJulz, I'm going to go against my better judgment and offer an opinion. I'm guessing that since you also graduated in November, that this is the first time you've scheduled to take the NCLEX......
Hi tricialynn78- I took the NCLEX last Thursday and I feel exactly the way you do! I too got 85 questions and felt like I was reading a foreign language at times. I got tons of SATA and priority....
peridotgirl- If you've already answered the questions I'm about to ask, please forgive me because I've not read all the postings in this thread. I'm awful at math, too. I sucked at it in high school,...
Emerld200- Congratulations on passing the test! I hope you had a huge celebration, what an accomplishment!! tinaanne- I so hope you're right about 85. Supposedly the vast majority of people pass the...
HeartJulz, please try to not allow yourself to get too down. I don't recall one person who said that the test was easy. I recall many MANY who said it was crazy. My school included the review...
I think you might want to wait until next week and then start calling. Today is the first day of a new term and they're probably swamped, so likely this week will be crazy, too. Be sure to check...
HeartJulz- I didn't use Kaplan, but I did use a variety of others, including Lippincott's, NCLEX 2500, Eyles, Mosby's, and a few others that are on my laptop upstairs that I can't remember off the...
CTnurse24- Congratulations on passing!! You must be SO relieved! Now you can take deep breaths again and get on with it. Good for you!!! Thank you for the good luck wishes to those of us who have just...
Hi HisHands, welcome to California. I don't have much to offer you as far as facilities that have 12-hr. shifts, but I had to say hi to someone from Petaluma. I lived there for many years before...
kithzeez, thanks for the heads-up about the term 5 hesi... not looking forward to that, but testing is a part of life I guess! Good luck to you as you begin a new term, what classes will you have?...
Jules- Yes, it's an LVN-RN bridge program. The only pre-req is to be an LVN. The first 9 months cover all the pre-reqs (broken down into 10-week terms, with 2 terms equaling 1 semester), and the...
I envy you both for being done/close to done. I'm proud of you both and grateful to both of you for the inspiration and the encouragement. I have a strong feeling that I'll be asking you a lot of...
I'm in a bridge program, and I like knowing that whatever the current pre-reqs are, they'll all be built into the program. Each term is structured a certain way and, unless we have credits from...

I haven't introduced myself yet, so I'll do so now. Better late than never, right? I graduated from LVN school in mid-November of 2007. As such, I've not worked as an LVN yet because I've not yet...
iheartnrsing- good morning and nice to meet you. Congratulations on having graduated, I'm envious! How long ago did you graduate and what are you doing now? kithzeez, orientation yesterday was very...
Haha, that's exactly who I have for English! Oral presentations in all classes, eh? Lovely. I'm glad you're doing so well, you can be my inspiration. As for parking, I've been debating paying the...
Kithzeez, thank you for the useful and practical advise! School will be expensive enough without having to pay to repeat a course, thanks for the heads-up. Sadly, LVN school was full of whiners who...
I start classes at WCU on Feb. 4, so I can't comment yet about teachers. However, the staff has been very helpful and supportive so far. I'm one of those people who asks alot of questions, and I've...
I just read this after having been away for awhile, and I thank you for your responses and encouragement. I'm all set to begin classes at WCU at the beginning of February, and I'm so excited and...
Thank you for this post, I cracked up out loud! I'm a student and I've smelled some nasty things, but so far (thank God), I've not encountered sputum- and it's sort of been a cloud hanging over me,...
gillijr1001- Thank you for the very wise advice. The cost is definitely staggering, and that's a huge consideration. Sadly, staying in California isn't a definite for me, so I can't risk going with...
