Just FYI....the trick worked for me. I passed with 75 questions!!

I just found out yesterday that I passed!! I only had one med calc, approx 5-6 SATA and 2 drag and drop. Hope that helps!! (75 questions in all)

...To answer one of your questions. No, I personally did not study the day before my test (took it yesterday). I took some time to (try) and get a little R & R before the big day!

I took mine yesterday at 0800. 75q took about 45 min. Did the PV trick and got the box. hoping and praying to God that I am now an RN!! Good luck to those that have yet to take the tests!!

So, I took the NCLEX-RN yesterday AM (6/22). I had 75 questions....lots of prioritization and SATA....Anyway,I tried the "trick" yesterday afternoon and got the pop-up box. Was that too soon? Can I try it again? Does anyone know how long after the "Delivery Successful" status that results will be available? I'm from Iowa if that matters.....I know it says 48 hrs, but hoping maybe it won't take that long!! If this trick is indeed true, great...if not....like previous posters have said, at least it reduces a bit of anxiety for some of us. Anyway, good luck to all who have yet to take "the test"

I take my RN boards tomorrow AM!!! I would greatly appreciate any prayers anyone is willing to send my way! Thanks :-) Sara

Have you found out if you passed yet?

I will be hoping, praying, et voting for a Mc Cain/Palin victory!!

I PASSED!!! I had only 85 questions and was freaking out and thinking I did horribly....but I passed!! God's blessings and patience to everyone else who is preparing for their big tests! Sara, LPN!! :-)

What an excellent idea. I will take my test on July 12 at 0800. I'm actually not that nervous....yet ;-) but I'm sure I will get there. I am reviewing some, but I kinda feel like if I don't know the stuff by now, I won't in a week either! God has blessed me with being able to retain information well from reading and hearing it and that usually benefits me greatly with tests. God's blessings, strength, and courage to you all! Sara

Actually, this student's day in the classroom is very routine. I agree that it probably would not be in his best interest to be removed from his parents, however his parents are actually somewhat of the problem. I asked my mom some more about the situation and she said that his parents don't always comply with his medication regimen and have actually told them in the morning before school that they have forgotten his medication. I was in no way insinuating that he should be "locked up" and put into a medication-induced stupor. I apologize if I came across that way. I simply think it may be to his benefit to be hospitalized just long enough for his behavior and medication regimen to be evaluated and to make sure nothing needs to be adjusted. Unfortunately, his parents don't see a problem and are blind to his changes in behavior, so they would never seek attention themselves on his behalf. And I personally feel that before he was put into a "special school" and removed from the one he is familiar with, the above action should be taken. Thanks for your response!

I am actually a student nurse, but asking this question on behalf of my mother who is an elementary special education teacher. She has a student who has been diagnosed with autism, seizure disorder (unknown specifcally what, sorry!), and MR. I am unsure of the medications he is taking as my mother is not sure and the parents will only discuss his health with the school nurse. Anyway, his behavior has changed dramatically lately, he is very aggressive..biting,kicking,hitting,spitting...and at times very lethargic as well, sleeping for 2 hours during the day. Could this be related to meds? My mother and the other teacher's assistants in her room are at the point where he can almost no longer be controlled. Today, she had to restrain him with the MAT hold 4 times so as to not cause harm to himself or others. His parents don't see anything wrong with him and refuse to seek any further medical care. Is there anything my mom or the school can do as far as having him committed to a hospital somewhere for monitoring and evaluation so this poor child can have some help?

I was just wondering if anyone out there has any advice/insight on getting or being pregnant during nursing school. I have just started school (1 month ago) and my husband and I really want a 3rd child. I would wait until I get done with school, but I want to get a job right away, and also I will be pushing 30 and as my personal preference, I want to be done having children by age 30. I am wanting other people's opinions and/or experience with pregnancy during school. Is there a good time to do it? Is it better in the beginning than towards then end? Thank you in advance for your input! Sara
