I have applied to multiple schools (waitlist, lottery and direct application-admission) and have my fingers crossed for fall, but at worst, should be in somewhere by spring 09. Because the programs are so impacted, and everyone is clamoring to in and...

That is great. Congrats!

Not to burst your bubble, but there are not jobs for new grads in the Bay Area and 6 mos is still considered a new grad. Most postings want 1-2 years minimum. It is terrible! Plus the Bay Area has one of the highest concentrations of nursing programs...

Brewer RN, I think your experience is common. I recently took a lactation workshop and noticed some of the nurses had a hard time on the mock quiz because they were answering as nurses in a medical setting. If there was an answer choice of using equi...

I am sitting for the exam in less than a month. Why does the exam suck so badly? I am a new grad BSN and thought the NCLEX sucked (though got 75 Qs) so I can't imagine how the IBCLC exam is worse. I was a LLL Leader for 10 years, but have been out of...

Congrats to the good pop-uppers! Good job. Hopefully you will have official results soon.

Nclex on Friday with 75 Qs, PVT an hour later with the good pop up and the BON posted my license sometime in the night or early this morning. The trick worked for me.

Good luck Hopeful, Notsosuper and Nursebound! I will be thinking of you and looking forward to your posts. Just saw my name posted on the BON this morning, the PVTworked!

Sorry Nclexwarrior and Sheena. Don't give up. You can do it.

@Hopeful310, just do it. I had to reschedule my test, and when I did, I booked it sort of far out. It just felt like it was hanging over my head. Then I impulsively rescheduled last week, when I saw a good time slot I liked come open. I didn't even t...

Oh Sheena, I am sorry you didn't get the good pop up. It isn't over until it is over, though. I hope you will be the exception. Take care

Seriously, huh? I am not sure how I would have gotten through the last weeks, being obbsessed with testing. It helped so much to know there were others in the thick of it. Everyone else I know has already tested. It felt so good to wake up this morn...

Congrats! I hope the PVT is true for me, too.

I don't think anyone feels confident after that test. I didn't feel confident about a single answer beyond the tutorial! I took my test on the 4th, and shut off at 75, too, and am also in CA. I came straight home and did the PVT. I thought I would th...

These are the exact 3 I found helpful, too, though NONE had questions that were like the NCLEX. I think LaCharity's book was so helpful because I didn't get as much teaching on these topics in school as I needed. The rationales in the book really hel...

I will believe it when I see it. Hopefully soon. For now, I am acting like I passed because I need a break! If I didn't and I am heartbroken later, I will be heartbroken later. For now, it is celebration time. :cheers:

It is good to know the PVT seems accurate. You had the chance to see it work both ways. I am sorry about the first time, but congrats the second time around!

Yeah! That didn't take long at all! I hope to see mine by Monday. Now go do the PVT and you can tell us if it works. LOL.

I am in CA too. The wait is so variable! Days to weeks. It isn't going to hurt to try the trick. I did it today and got the good pop up. My computer shut off at 75 Qs, too. I found the test challenging, but I have no reason to think I should not pas...

My classmates have had results in 3 days to 3 weeks. Did you do the PVT XOXOX?

Just got the good PVT pop up! Computer turned off at 75 questions, thank goodness, because I sat there for a minute before I clicked the mouse to move forward, wondering what I was going to do if it did not. I have never seen anything as gorgeous as ...

Yeah, Pooh Bear! You rock! Congrats:yeah:

Is it possible that you tried to soon? Maybe it is too early for the system to even register that you took the test. I can't say if it is true or not, but I am sorry that it feels so bad right now, and I hope its not the bad news you fear. How did it...

Each hospital lab has their own references, as well, which may vary slightly. It isn't absolute across the board. I agree with the others, just know the general values, give or take about 10% on either side of a value. NCLEX questions writers know va...

Go, go, go! You can do it.
