I just graduated and took the nclex end of June...I was so confident walking in there and when I left I knew i had failed... I was wrong, I PASSED... but I felt like **** for four days.. I started wondering what my new dreams were going to be since I was not going to be a nurse... it was aweful. I bought the Mosby's but didn't use it alot... the test was not a good mix of topics for me either... i think it can hone in on your weakness... I had 88 questions... probably 5 that I really knew that I knew... I studied lab values too and there wasn't a single question about them. Of course if I hadn't studied them there would have been...Right? As far as job hunting... I just moved to a place where there is no shortage of nurses so.... but a friend in Florida i went to school with is interviewing tomorrow for 25.50/hour with an agency. I looked on the State of hawaii website and found they continuously hire LPN's for all different locations, LTC, physician offices, same day surgery centers, -portamedic hires for insurance physicals...gives a flexible schedule... my space jobs is where I found alot of those ads- well good luck on your nclexs' and with job hunting...

I have just moved here from Florida and a new LPN. I haven't found a job yet and have resumes out but i also haven't found a rude person here... I will be blunt i did not picture this island to be so stacked up... so crowded... it wouldn't really bother me if someone is ****** that i am here.... i know I would be upset with new people moving to my paradise... and blocking up all the roads on a permanent basis... I am a white girl and and glad to be myself... i know what we did to the American Indians... I don't think my family will stay here even though that was the original plan 2 months ago... I don't even like to surf here... everywhere so far has been too crowded..I LOVE to surf but I would rather have colder, less sweet waves, and be able to relax on a few feet of beach that is my own.... too bad I gave my wet suit away when I left jax beach. I FEEL like an invader here, like I am standing in someone elses backyard without permission... it has NOTHING to do with the local attitudes....my HEART knows it's not right. So for now I have an address here and will enjoy the surf and make the best of the quiet moments i get alone on a secluded beach... but I don't think we will stay past our year lease.

Hey thanks for that info.. I am a newly licensed LPN and was considering HPU for continuing education... I just gradusted from a class of grown women who were really into making noise rather than serious business. it was like being in high school all over again. i want to have a more professional learning atmosphere fpr my RN.
