I believe so! They are good prep for NCLEX our school says. You will do great! Get some sleep..ok? Deb

Yes,practice test and actual are similar. We need to score 90 at my school to progress forward to next semester. You can take practice test as many times as you want. I am doing ob/peds in 2 weeks.My instructors also use ATI for some exam questions!! Best wishes. Deb

Heard a rumor here at VISN 23 that Vaneep funding program is going to be to be ending.Have not heard from my education coordinator if this is true. Or if it affects the contract I have signed and start 8/25/2009.I am very thankful to finally be moving forward with my nursing career!

congratulations !! DebolynnO

Hello Futurenursy, When was the first part of the cycle for fed. deadline? In other words how long did you wait? My education coordinator was not very encouraging last time I talked with her.She said my program for ARN was too many credit hours at 72 and other programs only need 60 credir hours. This is my 2nd attempt,last one was waylaid because of misunderstanding on total work hours and job status. I am goind to apply to another program for back-up.I would do the 1st 2 years of a 4 year RN on my own the apply for VANEEP for the last 2 years. I really need the save pay status. What program are you accepted to? Congratulations by the way!!!! Did you hear how long you pay-back is? Did your school go over the Vaneep budget for tut ion and books? God Bless, DebOhttp://images.allnurses.com/smilies/Copy%20of%20wink.gif

Vaneep is a program you could qualify for after working one year full-time.There are a lot of hoops to jump thru and timing is critical. You need to obtain unconditional acceptance in a nursing program and get your degree within 2 years. Your plan of study must be full-time and to be accurate and sometimes it is hard to get a school advisor to commit to your obtaining your degree on a Vaneep time line. They pay your schooling with a cap at about 22,000 for tuition,books and fees. Here is the best part ,they pay you your salary for attending school and you only work on your school breaks. This is all I have learned so far and believe it to be true.I am in process of finalizing my application for the Feb. 1st deadline. Hope this helps. God Bless,Deb p. S. after 1 year of full-time service you still qualify if you change your status to part-time.

Hello, How does a online study group work? I am a returning student (: So new to all this technology and options. I am hoping to review this course,maybe with you-all,then try to test out.I had the course >5 years so does not qualify for my credits for nursing school. Thanks DebolynnO

Ja,all sweet young things! I been "30ish" for a while now.Nursing is a path I did not take 1st time around.I thought it too much a traditional women's job in 1976 when I graduated from HS.Also my sis was a nurse. I didn't want to follow. ): Now I am waiting to see if my application at work(the VA) will be accepted and they will help me with my new career . If all goes well I will be starting my ARN at 50 and seven sons later.
