I just wanted to say thank you guys for your support:). I got my results yesterday and I PASSED!!!! This is a great feeling knowing I dont have to study for another test. So its official now!!!! I am a REGISTERED NURSE!:nurse: If I can do it, anyone can do it.

Thanks for all the support. I got my results today. I PASSED! I am now an RN!! I am so glad that is over.

Thanks. I have been trying to forget but its so hard. I guess what is done is done, Right? I will find out Saturday.

I completely understand how you feel. I took my NCLEX today and it also cut off at 75. I am a nervous reck!!! I had about 8 pharm questions, tons of infection control questions, priority and teaching questions, 3 SATA and one dosage. OMG!!! I know the last question I had before it could off was a priority question and I feel like I got it right.....Could some one shead some light on me.... Thanks

Thanks. My stomach is in knots....I hate this feeling, I wish you found out right away

I havent posted here in awhile but I am always reading other posts. Well, today was the big I took my NCLEX exam. My computer shut off at 75 questions, beleive me I didnt want it too. I had lots of infection control, priority and teaching questions, 3 SATA and 1 math question. I believe I had about 7 Pharm questions. I dont know if I passed or failed.... I do know the last question was a priority/assignment question concerning a LPN, I feel I got that right. I have read that if you get pharm questions, those are the lower level questions, is that true? I have never been this nervous before in my entire life.. I felt like every time I got a priority question it would give me a teaching question or the patient understands if....... Does that mean anything!!! Someone please shed some light on me. To fail at 75 questions, would mean you would of missed many many questions right?

I currently attending Gordon College and Im in 3rd semester......7 more months until I graduate!!!:yeah:

Thanks for the information. I figure when I graduate I will have 30,000 worth of debt. It will be worth it. I am a single mom with 3 small girls, so my loan money was my check each month.......

I need some help!!! I am getting ready to graduate in May 08, and I was wondering does anyone know of hospitals or programs that have loan payback to help out. Any info would be greatly needed. Thanks:nurse:

Hi, there I am having some trouble finding some CRNA programs in GA, around the Atlanta area. Does anyone have any advise on that. Thanks

I believe you have to be in school. I had to get them an unoffical transcript.

I would love the list also. Please send it to me also. Thanks so much

Bella Donna... How do you like working in Hospice? I have thought about it, but I am not sure I could handle it. What is the starting pay for a Hospice Nurse? Thanks

Hi there. I currently work at Southern Regional Hospital on the southside of Atlanta as a Nurse Extern and I also work at Henry Medical Center as a Patient Care Tech on the Mother & Baby Floor. Does anyone know if Piedmont Hospital hires Nurse Externs? If so, do you know what they pay. This the hospital that I would like to work out once I graduate next May..:mortarboard:

I live in Jonesboro, GA and I attend Gordon College in Barnesville. I should be graduating May 08;) ;)

Where do I begin, the program can be overwhelming by all means. Just keep yourself organized. Also, the tests are NOTHING like A&P and Micro, they are more application based and critical thinking. Always ask "why"? Yes you do have to READ, some nights I was reading over 100 pages. Which sucked...... I started reading the boxes within the chapter and the highlighted points, and I did the learning outcomes from the course book ( you should get this during Camp I Can) then I would do the study guides. They both helped out alot. I have managed to keep a B in every class. So its doable. Also, make sure you get all the required books. Most of the recommended books I never even opened. I do suggest that you get the recommended book, "Nursing Care Plans" This was a agreat guide for those awful concept and care maps that you have to do for clinicals. Please feel free to ask me anything. Good Luck!!!!

It mostly depends on your GPA. They mostly require at least a 3.0 or higher, they get accepted first then they work down. The first year I had a 2.8 and I was put on the waiting list but I never got in. So I reapplied for the Fall and got in. I am in my 2nd semester and I should graduate in May 08. Paper work wise, pretty easy not much at all. Good Luck... Feel free to ask questions....

I am a student in the Nursing Program at Gordon, and its tough but it can be done. I am a mother of 3 small daughters and I do it. This is a great school...
