CONGRATULATIONS! :)

Try the PVT! You know it works :)

My qtrainer scores were horrible. I got 60, 64, 67, 65, 63, 67, 68. Read every rationale even if its correct. That's awesome you have tons of time!

Thank you! Such a relief! I'd be honest a week leading up to my test day I was just so nervous. I made sure I did questions every single day. Around 100-200. I never counted, I just made sure to read the rationale. I would read review books for content and then answer questions. I suggest do Saunders book. I did Kaplan, so the computer quizzes helped with being comfortable taking an online exam. I hope this helps! All you can do is practice, practice!!!

I just would like to share that I was scared as hell going out of the testing place with that many questions. I knew some way somehow I wasn't answering items correctly because I felt like I was there forever. BUT I PASSED! I'm the most skeptical person ever, did the trick right after I took the test. I didn't believe it until I saw the results on the state board. I did Kaplan for review and to be honest, it did not help me at all. What helped me was remembering everything I had learned from school and answering questions every single day.

I PASSED!!! This trick works!!!

I took the NCLEX-RN yesterday. I got up to 164 questions. I was scared as hell going out because I didn't know what to make of it. I did the Pearson Vue Trick and got the good pop up. Until now, I've been checking to see if I get the good pop up and yes, I still am getting it. Arizona posts the results the next day so we will find out on the BON today. Wish me luck!

Thank you for your reply! Right now, I'm about to plot my education plans here. So much to consider. Tough and everything is too pricey cause I'm an international student. Is there any way I can work while study? How long does the work permit (for economic reasons) usually last? Again, super thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I totally agree to the part where I am thinking way too ahead of the future and presuming a lot of things. I guess I just want to have a head start on whatever kind of problems I may have to face in the future. Also, its a matter of whether you want to stick to what's certain and what's not. But my point in making this thread was to check if granted that I was given OPT for a year (having finished ADN), can I look for a job using my Bachelor's degree in Biology or it should be the course is based on the one I finished here in US? Clearly, the nursing path is full of uncertainties (for now) because I can opt to go and take a Master's degree, whatever works. But otherwise, I'm inquiring regarding Nursing because its more practical for now. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Ruby. I already have a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the Philippines. I had ECE evaluate my transcripts already and it is equivalent to the Bachelor's degree in Biology here in US. Right now, I am currently going to pursue Nursing here on an F1 visa. I'm still in the Pre-Nursing stage so it might take a while for me to finish. I am in Arizona, and I have already checked the licensure because they became more strict and they want a proof of citizenship or green card but I already checked that I only need to show papers that I am here legally (like I-94 etc.) I am also volunteering at a hospital so that I will be able to gain some experience prior to getting the actual hospital job experience. My question is, does having a Bachelor's degree give me an advantage as oppose to just having an Associate's degree when looking for a job (during OPT) that will sponsor me for an H1B? OPT is only for a year that is why I hope to get sponsored right away. And what other important immigration details should I take note of regarding my situation? I mean, my only problem is really to get sponsored during that one year OPT. Thank you very much!
