  1. is this a dumb idea?

    I'm a single mom (new LPN, will graduation w/ my RN in May) of a 4yr old and I'm trying to figure out what to do workwise when I'm done. I'm thinking it would be great to work 7p-7a on Fri, Sat, and Sun and then have the rest of the week off. But, I ...
  2. Help! I just took Nclex-PN and it cut me off at 85!!!!

    no, the number you call take a full 48hrs. The trick you can do instantly.
  3. Help! I just took Nclex-PN and it cut me off at 85!!!!

    That means you passed!!!!! I know, I also didn't want to get my hopes up, but I didn't find a single person in that whole thread who came back to report the trick didn't work, so I think there is something to it.
  4. Help! I just took Nclex-PN and it cut me off at 85!!!!

    well, 1. do the trick, I swear it works!!! 2. I had the exact same scenario in terms of all the med questions and SATA and I passed! Good luck!!!
  5. I just graduated from LPN and start my RN bridge next week. I've always wanted to be a NICU nurse, but I'm nervous that it will be difficult to get started in the field when graduation rolls around. What kinds of things can I be doing now to prepare...
  6. what to do now to help me land a NICU job at graduation?

    thank you guys so much! I do know quite a few people who were hired as new grads out here and I've seen several postings for hospitals in my are so hopefully there will be openings when the time comes. How early can one apply for these jobs? I won't...
  7. Please Help! Need Advice!! LVN or RN????

    I just finished my LPN and am bridging to RN. I never planned to be an LPN, but it shaved about 6mo off the whole application process compared to going straight into a 2-yr RN. That said, I have a ton of respect for what LPN's do, but in my neck of ...
  8. Why ?

    one thing to consider as well is the schedule: I did a 11mo LPN, but we went 8hrs per day, 5 days per week. We only had 10days off for Christmas break, whereas colleges do 30days, and just a few days here and there. So, it may not seem like much, but...
  9. pharmacology and nursing math

    I'm terrified of math, and just stink at it, but the dosage calc was a piece of cake!!!! I was shocked when we got to it and kept thinking, is this it? I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it never did. Just do all the problems you can, but...
  10. Rose State info

    Hey! I start at Rose on monday!!!! I just completed my LPN and am bridging in to the 3rd semester of the RN program. The pts system for the bridge are different than for the traditional so I don't think I can help with that part. I had 67pts. If it h...
  11. Why ?

    I've never heard of an LPN program that was just a few months. I just finished an LPN program with the intent to bridge straight to RN (I start RN on monday!!!!) and it was considered a fast paced on (it was 11mo, 5days per week, 8hr per day). My LPN...
  12. Is 3rd Semester of ADN Nursing Program that Bad?

    that stinks that they are so negative right off the bat. I was also told by the instructors that 3rd semester is the hardest (we have ob/peds and geri/psych) but that they were dedicated to ensuring we all make it through! This will be my first seme...
  13. How long did you wait.........

    I graduated this July, and start my RN on monday!!! granted the only reason I got my LPN was so I could bridge (quicker than traditional in my case) but quite a few people in my LPN class are completing their pre-req's and will be able to start RN in...
  14. how does transferring work?

    I would say check out your local community colleges and universities to meet up with an advisor. Every area of the country seems to do things a little differently. In my state, you earn your LPN and as long as you have all your pre-req's completed (...
  15. does nursing seem boring?

    It's not that I don't have things to do, just that it seems like it might get old quick...
  16. Help! I just took Nclex-PN and it cut me off at 85!!!!

    I passed!!!!!!!! The trick worked for me! There is a whole thread about it with directions.
  17. Any NICUs hiring..anywhere??

    I live in Oklahoma City. I want to be a NICU nurse as well and was just sifting through the job postings and 2 of the 3 hospitals websites I looked at were hiring and each had a couple openings. I'm already stressed about not being able to find anyth...
  18. Hi i'm new here

    I think one thing I wished I would have done (which really helped my classmates) was to get my CNA or be some sort of a tech or unit clerk. I felt so lost because I'd basically never set foot in a hospital so everything was brand new for me, but my c...
  19. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

    I chopped my hair off to an above the collar bob. It was great because at 5am the last thing I wanted to do was my hair. I just put a little gel in (naturally wavy) and pinned back the front with a couple bobby pins to keep it out of my face, and tha...
  20. Fail at 85??? NCLEX-PN

    I'm hoping in just a couple hours. Everyone I've heard from said it was exactly 48hr when their results were posted. I sure hope so, because I haven't slept in days and I'm a ball of stress right now.
  21. Fail at 85??? NCLEX-PN

    yep, the idea is that once you pass they take your ATT out of the system so you will be unable to re-register. From reading through EVERY response on the 'trick' threads it worked for everyone pass or fail, so I feel much, much better now!!!!
  22. Fail at 85??? NCLEX-PN

    well I tried the "trick" and I couldn't register! So hopefully it's right:up:
  23. Help! I just took Nclex-PN and it cut me off at 85!!!!

    I don't know, hopefully by tomorrow night if they update the site. Once it comes back online I'm going to try the trick though.
  24. Passed my NCLEX-PN

    I thought the were very similar but I didn't seem to get questions in areas I know well, you know? It is true that they keep asking you, in different ways, the same subject which is why I think I got so many select all that apply style questions, pha...
  25. I am a single mom and just finished LPN. For me, getting up before ds was a huge help. yes, that meant lots of 5am study sessions but the house was quite and free of distractions! I had another friend who had 3 kids under 5 while in school and she d...
