IT'S OFFICIAL, EVERYONE!!!!! PEARSONVUE TRICK WORKSSSSS!!! I just got my license in the mail from State Board!!!!! I'm officially a NURSE!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

OK guys, I've got an update!!! As some of you know, I had to take boards earlier this afternoon (6/13). About 3 hours after I finished, I got my bf to do the trick for me and I got the "good" pop up!!! Needless to say, we celebrated as soon as we saw...

I'm keeping the faith! I scheduled an appointment to get a massage right after my exam, so I will try the trick after that. I'll let y'all know if I get the good pop up!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!

I'm getting anxious!!! I test tomorrow afternoon!!! On 6/13 in Louisiana!!! Wish me the best you guys!!!

I take boards on the 13th this month, btw :sofahider

Does anyone know if quick results are available for Louisiana LPNs???

Hey, newcomers! I'm in NAC I right now, and I went to EJ for clinicals in Basics. I do NOT recommend it. You're on a rehab floor, and you're not able to get much experience there at all. Your patients spend most of their time with PT, so all you do i...

i'm with you 100%. your story is exactly like mine! not one bit different. i wonder if your birthday is also in december!

I heard from a lot of ppl that I wouldn't have a life at all, and that nurses at your clinical area wouldn't help, and I would surely fail if I didn't read the text book---ALL LIES! I definitely still have my life...I don't go out partying every wknd...

DON'T GO AND GET THAT EXPENSIVE STETHOSCOPE!!! Save that for when you graduate, and have someone else buy that for you! For now, you'll be completely fine with a Classic II SE, which is what I have..any littmann is good..but i would recommend that on...

My drive to school is about an hour and a half. I leave my house at 0730 to make it there at 0900. It's all just traffic really--there's been so much road construction going on after Katrina(I go to school in downtown New Orleans), and I hate it!!! I...

I just purchased the Saunders nclex review for my pda and im in my first semester of NS....i don't think it's too early at all....i just go over the sections that we've discussed in class: it helps me study for my tests, and it helps to prepare me fo...

Really tough question! I'd pick D, even though I very much dislike the use of "only" in that answer, but aren't all NS test questions tricky?? Anyway, I just took my first exam yesterday, and I found the Fundamentals Success book by Nugent & Vita...

Thank you so much for this reply, Amy. I really appreciate what you wrote, and it's just what I needed. I never thought about it like that. I have been beating myself up about it since the review yesterday, but your words have surely encouraged me. T...

well, allnurses--it's official! i successfully completed my first nursing skills check-off! it was on sterile wound care, and i breezed through it with no mistakes whatsoever! so, i am very happy about that! but, i have my very first exam this monday...

I was the second and last-born, and I'd be shocked the day I see my father with any kind of alcohol in his hand! So this statement is very much wrong in my case!!!

Well, I don't have my official test results in yet, but from the review after I took the test today, I basically know what I made. I passed! But not how I wanted to pass. I made an 80, which is a lower C. I guess I can feel proud about myself consid...

omg! i know exactly what u mean...i started NS on Aug. 20th, and something "external" brought me down completely by Aug 24th. Since that day, I had been extremely depressed up until a few days ago. My very first written exam is tomorrow, also--well l...

congratulations!!! but, what is suzanne's plan??? CONGRATS AGAIN! THAT'S AWESOME!:balloons:

I'd love to! We're doing therapeutic communication, community-based nursing, nurse-client relationship, nursing process, culture, prevention of infection, human needs, growth & development, and wellness-illness by the way, my first exam is this m...

Welcome to allnurses!!! I know EXACTLY what you mean! I just started my nursing program this August, and I've never had any medical experience whatsoever. Well, I take that back--I volunteered in L&D 2 summers ago for under 2 months, BUT I only f...

My school is 77! AHHH! And like many posters before me have cried out, there is NO rounding!!!!!!! I have yet to experience the true meaning of this grading system because I haven't taken an exam; but that will now be short-lived because I have my ve...

Is anybody else feeling overwhelmed with the work we need to do for Basics and Pharm???? I'm just trying to make sure that I'm not DUMB or something! :trout:

omg, people! my first day of nursing school is in 1 day, 0 hours, and 20 minutes!!!! :monkeydance: i can't believe it's almost here! i've been waiting for this for such a long time, and it's almost here! :balloons: i wanna scream and tell the whole...
