   Good luck!! If you want to take it earlier, keep checking Pearson Vue to see if there have been cancellations. I originally scheduled mine for July 1, then June 24, then June 18 and finally June 14....

   LVN-RNhopeful replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Ugh!! I took it on 6/14, and it looks like I'll be waiting at least another 2-3 weeks to find out for sure if I passed. I called the BRN today and they said that once they receive our transcripts it...

7. My Frustration w/ Kaplan

   LVN-RNhopeful replied to Nursey103's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   To the OP, I completely agree with all that you have said. I found the QBank questions to be way more challenging and at times the rationales were quite contradictory. However, that being said, now...

   LVN-RNhopeful replied to lilmissjuly17's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I took Kaplan's Review Course, and I'm really glad I did. I felt really well prepared for the types of questions asked. I don't know that I would have felt as confident had I done it all on my own....

    Congratulations everyone! My pinning is June 1. Hearing that people are already graduating and being pinned makes June 1 seems sooooo far away - especially since I still have 5 more days of...

15. Who pinned you?

    LVN-RNhopeful replied to missbutton's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It seems a little odd to me to not have an RN, whether it's a friend, family member or faculty pin you. Our class can choose anyone to pin us, the only stipulation is that he or she must be an
