I searched every test center within a 300 mile radius of my house...and ended up having to test in Washington, DC ( I live just north of Raleigh, NC ). There were three others from NC testing there...
Wow, this is exactly how I feel at this moment! I stories are similar with a few edits - I had 265 questions and drove 5 hours to my testing the site (half the night before, half the morning off, then...
Great advice, purp! Know the info. Don't cram. Practice NCLEX questions from a good review book (Mosby, Kaplan, Saunders) even while in nursing school. Learn because you want to be a good nurse,...
Chaotic: Thanks for the encouragement. I keep trying to tell myself, "everyone on here thinks they've failed...and then we read two days later than they didn't!". I haven't read of too many that have...
I know how you feel - I took it today and got 265...the last 50 or so were so incredibly difficult, I feel like I missed them all. I started to drift off round question 200 and can't honestly...
I did the same thing - got my ATT at 8pm, scheduled the exam at 9pm, took the test 12 hours later - 5 hours away! I'm not sure it was the brightest thing...I feel like I failed. I'll know on Monday...
I would DEFINITELY email your boards of nursing... I emailed mine with a lengthly complaint (yet professional) letter on Monday 6/4. I had my ATT on Wednesday 6/6 and took the test THIS MORNING, 6/7....
Hello fellow new grads, My school will be offering a Sylvia Rayfield review course on June 15-17. We need 40 people to register for the class in order to receive the discounted rate of $280.00. Please...
Check a few things: 1) When you registered with Pearson, you were able to provide EITHER an email address or a physical address to receive your ATT. If you provided an email address, Pearson will...
How coincidental is that - that we both got our answers at about the same time. I think my email might have sparked something! At any rate, I'm glad things are getting done. I don't want to get too...
The NCBON just updated my status...I'm hoping to receive my ATT today. I know for a fact that my verification has been at the Board for two weeks. From what I hear, the send notice to Pearsonvue...
FINALLY! I noticed today that my BON has updated the status of my school verification to "received". From what I hear, it'll be today or tomorrow when I get my ATT by mail. I'll let you
Check into Vance-Granville CC in Henderson. No wait list (point system based on merit, etc). I paid around $500-700 each of my five semesters...I was able to work between 20-30 hours a week with...
I just called the BON for probably the third time in as many weeks. I was just told that there is ONE person at the NC BON who is in charge of receiving and updating school verification forms....
AHAHHAAA! nur2007sing: I was born and raised in MA...spent some time in Florida and Tennessee, and now here I am in central NC. The best thing about NC is that no matter where you live, you are a...
I have been checking the NCBON site daily. I was told almost two weeks ago that yes, my school did send my transcripts - they just haven't been entered into their database yet. Yes Cay, it is ALL...
I'm not sure about the last post... Still no word...It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my grads were in and nearly 2 weeks since the NC BON said they had my verification - still no

If it weren't for you, they wouldn't feel anything at all. Guaranteed inbetween the discomfort of pokes and pricks are moments (even if few and far between) where you and the little ones can feel...

I agree with someone here that said this is a neverending battle. As a student nurse, there was always "one bad apple" that would make some comment like, "you're only a student, what do you know"....
Wendy: Wow, GREAT advice...I'm thinking of printing this tread just to make sure I'm up to speed when I get to camp! I like your question "What do you do when this happens at home". So simple, yet...
Unfortunately no - I worked at a GS camp in Southern Florida when I lived there, and now I'm in NC. This one sounds like it should be fun and they are VERY organized. I've been impressed so
We probably spoke to the same "guy" from NCBON - what's even more frustrating is that he acted like it was my fault that it was taking them so long, going so far as saying if we (students) didn't call...
