"Better to soar like an eagle than quack like a duck....." How did you know I had a sore spot??? I went white-water rafting last weekend and it took a toll on my body BTW the only VISA I know about is the plastic one I swipe at the grocery store... Here are some basic facts of life that people can actually use...... 1. Getting a job is a job in itself. It took me four months of applying to numerous places as an LVN before I got 3 job offers at one time (I accepted one full-time job at the VA and another part-time at a Substance Abuse Clinic)...so don't be discouraged (and I've never been asked what school I went to either) 2. Debt will always be there for the majority of Americans. Once you start getting a paycheck then pay-off the debt. But if you're not willing to work after school than it's probably better to go on a non-private school route instead. 3. Don't waste your life being bitter and resentful...especially if you want to be a nurse. Life is way too short.

This sounds like a personal problem to me..... Did you know that South America is oversupplying the world market with cocaine?!? I'm pretty sure that's a more serious issue than an oversupply of nurses!!! Also, Scripps and Sharp are NOT the only two places in the world to apply to as an RN!!! If you want life to be peachy then nursing isn't for you...it's about helping others not yourself.

Hello BeanTrees. Are you speaking from personal experience?

My rep gave me a time frame to get it done but not like today or anything. In fact, I was told to enjoy my weekend! The drug screen and background check have to be within 60 days from our class start date...it's more than 60 today...I wonder what the sense of urgency is all about. Hmmm....different reps with different instructions...scary. I think you're already in the early application group:D

I'm in!!! See you guys in September c/o 2013!!!!

Please post if anyone gets a acceptance call (or letter) for the September class! I'm getting anxious!!!

Hi KennyBee....yes, I'm trying to find out by the 15th of July if I got in. Everything is looking hopeful, though. Did you speak to a rep after you passed the TEAS???

Wow KennyBee! Congrats on your TEAS score! If you have the six months experience I'm pretty sure you should be accepted...Hopefully we can all be in the September class.

i'm still anxiously waiting . . . for my first job as a nurse!!! yay! btw....CONGRATULATIONS TO LVNHOPEFUL!!! :clpty::dncgbby::dancgrp::clphnds::ancong!:

THANK YOU caringtouch....i found great comfort in this forum!!! :redpinkhe

hunneyrossi and tilapia 05 . . . I PASSED!!!!!!! thank you for the support! praise GOD!!!!

NEVERMIND about my previous post!!! i got my results after exactly 5 weeks and . . . . I PASSED!!!

after exactly 5 weeks the results are in . . . i passed nclex!!! thank god for this wouldn't be possible without him. thank you for everyone's support on this website (tilapia05 & cjandaval, especially). for all the californians waiting . . . just let go & let god!!! if you did your part and studied god will do the rest! thanks again!

_____________________________________________ wow! i took my test exactly when you did but in california. my results should be coming in any day now. my test sounded very similar to yours. i've read a lot that majority of people do pass with 85 questions but i just found out that my friend didn't. it depresses me because of all people i thought he would pass. we were study buddies! oh great. what does that say about me. i need some encouragement. this is driving me crazy. help????

the user name is hilarious :rotfl: pecpeclvn . . . thanks for the laugh. for a moment i forgot about nclex!

CONGRATULATIONS tilapia05!!!! :monkeydance::monkeydance::monkeydance::nmbrn:

tilapia05 i'm rooting you on !!! it's just a matter of time.

hey hunneyrossi! sadly, i don't know yet. i took NCLEX on Sept. 17th and i should be getting results in another week and a half or so. i was the 3rd person in my class to take it. the first 3 of us stopped at 85 questions and i just received news that the first guy passed . . . so that should be a good sign. i have my good days of feeling like i passed and then i doubt myself again. wouldn't it suck to be the valedictorian and not pass???? thanks for the advice. i can't drive anywhere yet because no license = no job = no paycheck = no gas money! i'm trying my hardest to be patient, though.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! sorry about the evacuation! i live close enough to get a headache from the smoke but we were not evacuated. well, what a blessing amongst the storm! GOD is GOOD!

I'M STILL ANXIOUSLY WAITING . . . . . and waiting . . . . . and waiting . . . . . .

nicely said MikeyJ!!!

the wait is torture my test stopped at 85. the computer was either satisfied that i knew enough or didn't know enough. this 50-50 thing is driving me crazy.
