Hi, I graduated in Dec with my ADN-RN. I took boards middle of Feb and just accepted a position on Monday at the local hospital. I start orientation on monday which will last 12 wks. I am excited but nervous! I can only imagine how stressful it is go...

Yep, same thing here. Next week I have 4 days of hospital orientation. Then I go on the floor for 12 wks of orientation. It will actually be several weeks before I get to my unit...they have a 'new hire' floor that orients you for the first 6 wks. Sh...

Congrats! So happy to hear the GREAT news!!!!!!

Did you get your results yet??? I took my test at 1pm on tuesday and my results popped up on the BON at exactly 8:30am on Thursday morning. Pearson results weren't available until several hours later at 1pm--exactly 48hrs after the test. My girlfrien...

You will most likely show up on the BON on Tuesday morning. You can get it off Pearson Vue on Sunday after 8am though. Hopefully you have gotten your results already because it's 8:30! good luck

Kaplan is a great program, but it can be overwhelming because there is alot of info. This is how I approached my study using them. First I watched the content videos. While I watched/listened, I would have my book opened and followed along while high...

Holy cow! I am in disbelief...I had filled out my re-take application and emailed my instructors that I was sure I failed it! I still cannot believe that in 75 questions (when only 60 count) that they can assess my knowledge base. When I took the LPN...

I had 12 SATA...much too many!!!!!!!!

Congrats! You earned it!

does anyone know if the last few (say 3-4 questions) on the test are priority questions--does that mean you are above the level of passing when it shuts off? i took the exam yesterday and I am so distraught. I graduated top of my class, took the Kapl...

Yes, I had in the 70%'s on every section when I completed all the Qbank questions. I got 80's on both the diagnositc and readiness exam during the weeklong Kaplan review class. I got 73 on qtrainer 6 and 74 on qtrainer 7. I test well normally and I u...

I think Kaplan is a great review. the questions are similar. And the strategies they give you are essential. My problem was staying calm enough to think clearly. I definitely recommend the program though. I just need to figure out a way to not freak ...

I wish you both the best of luck! All I can say is rapid results aren't rapid enough! I am about 26hrs out from taking the exam and I haven't been able to eat, drink or sleep. My nerves are fried. I know I failed it and I am just in shock that I let ...

Crossing my fingers and toes for you!

Laurakfels, I am so sorry to see you didn't pass. I am waiting for my results and am sure tomorrow I'll see FAIL listed as well. It's very discouraging and upsetting, but hopefully we can manage to take something positive away form this experience! I...

I don't have that exact CD, but I have the Saunders Q&A 3rd edition CD from the book. I went and checked it to see if it was compatible and on the front of the disk it says WIN/MAC so I am assuming this CD is. Maybe someone who had the CD you are...

I feel your pain...I am testing on the 19th as well. I have been OK so far until today. Now I am in a panic and feel like I know nothing--or at least not enough. I took the Kaplan review class a few weeks ago, and since then have finished Qbank and t...

You are so welcome! Good luck to you!

Yes, when I went to SCTI, it was called Sarasota Vo-Tech. That was back in the stone-age! lol...it's an excellent program--tough, but you'll know your stuff when you graduate, and will not have to worry about passing boards. I heard the same about Ch...

Hi, Just wanted to mention that SCTI the vocational school in Sarasota county has an excellent LPN program. It's got a much better reputation than the Manatee school--and it's much closer to North Port. I also have a friend that graduated not long ag...

I sure will keep my fingers crossed that you passed the exam!! I am curious--I just finished the 4 day Kaplan review...is that what you did?? How did you score on their tests? I did well on their Readiness test-- but I still don't feel ready! Be sure...
