I think that you miss understood me. Doctors go to school for 4 years of medical school and on average 3 to 5 years of residency and I work with quite a few right now who will say that their wives who work as nurses, are the bread winners. Lawyers also go to many years of school and most movie stars and actors struggled on nothing for years before making a decent living. Nurses go to school for either a 2 year or a 4 year program and than start making a very decent living. A doctor is a minimum of 7, sometimes 9 or even more and some of them still do not make enough money to be comfortable for many, many years after that. I do NOT for one minute believe that nurses have no struggles. I like yourself and everyone included know what school can be like and how difficult it can be. But, in comparison to other professions, no we do NOT endure unlimited amounts of years struggling.

I have been offered $65K as a starting salary, and I do not think that that is a bad starting rate. It also depends on the state that you are working in, and the cost of living. Nursing is one of the only professions that you can start off with a pretty decent salary with no experience. In comparison to a lawyer, doctor, or a movie star, just remember that they had to struggle for a while before they all made that kind of money. As a nurse you are guaranteed a pretty decent pay right out of school.

I just got my results today and I also passed with 265 questions...I had so many SATA questions and drugs that I never even heard of! I thought for sure that I failed because of all the questions and how many questions I did not feel 100% sure about. I am so relieved! THANK YOU GOD !!!!

I took my NCLEX today also and went to 265 questions! I know that feeling of being really anxious! Some fellow friends that have taken the test have said that it went up to 265 for them also and they passed. I will keep my fingers crossed for the both of us!
