Everyone I know that has passed stopped at 85,including myself. BUT, the NCLEX does cut off at the minimum of 85 under two circumstances-either the test-taker has answered at least 95% of the questions correctly or 95% of the questions incorrectly...

ONCE!! Get yourself a good review book,and review a little ea. day. Usual focus of the test is patient teaching and prioritizing,but does depend on ea. person taking the test. LPN

HOURLY!!!!! Salary-leaves a chance for you to get jipped!!Unless you are allow to leave early which is highly unexpectable

Honestly,there just isn't enough time in one shift to do everything strictly "by the book", especially in a nursing home setting where you have 30-40 patients at a time-not to mention that most are stable anyway. I voted for, "based on medication or diagnosis".

That's so admirable. I'm 19 years old and just started as an LPN.And actually working "in the field" has made me realize how "green" I still am-it is so different from clinicals in school... Stand proud in being able to say I been nursing for 30+ years!!

Wow,I took the LPN program in high school-which the school district paid for most of everything: I probably only spent

I am happy to say that I am a brand new liscensed nurse.I recently was liscensed in October and started my first job @ a nursing home/assisted living center in December. The starting rate offered was of 18.00/hr base pay plus evening/night differential.Per diem @ 22.00/hr. I would advise not to go for less than 19.00/hr least 19.50/hr.
