I am sorry to hear that but do not give up! I am currently using Saunders and i have to agree with previous posts that it is the most comprehensive thus far that i have tried. The key is know your weaknesses when it comes to taking the test. And when...

Congrats! Thank you for the post and sharing your story. I am retaking my boards next month and it will be my third try. I truly believe i will pass this time using the tools and advise you shared. Thank you again...and Congrats RN!!!!
I also did not pass NCLEX. It is frustrating. But the key is to find what works for you in regards to studying and give yourself enough time to study. I rushed it my first time. Took it like 3 weeks after graduation after self-studying. I wasnt ready...

I have come up on a couple of scenes. Having been in the ER for almost 4 years I have come to respect that we all have our jobs to do..both in the field and in the ER. I am friends with alot of EMS personnel and Firefighters. I have rolled up on a sc...
Hmmm..did they offer a rationale for the answer? Because its not like they gave you a set of vitals to work off of to compare with improvement. So..that is weird.

I know it is frustrating. I did not pass NCLEX either. But...the people on here have been great and very supportive. I was recommended to try Suzannes plan and i am planning on it for the next test date. Please dont give up! I had my ER director te...

I agree with kmoonshine. Working in the ER, that is very similar to the scenarios we see. Patients will present a certain way and just by looking at them you can detect which ones need to be rushed back and those that can wait for a room. Kids are tr...

I would love to be able to take a day and go skiing or snowboarding with my friends. Its hard now because im not at the pay raise i want in order to be a little spontaneous with my money. And i would love to have my own home because i am tired of pay...

I never understood this either. I work in the ER and see it basically served with every tray i order. i dont get it either. i will see it also with cardiac patients too. they will ask for it and if tests are still pending we will hold it per ER doc ...

I have two pairs of Crocs and dont have a problem with them. I work in the ER and sometimes i have a tendency to slip in them when running around but..that could just be me..lol.

I agree with Sbyram. When i was a new grad, i did lots of research on new grad residency programs in Denver. No where did i come across a contract outlined as such. There were a few that wanted a time commitment (i.e. 1 year), but no financial respon...

I agree with Classicdame. I think it would have been good to have given stepmom and especially dad a heads up on what was given, when, etc. so as to watch for any possible reactions/allergies. Other than that, as my fellow posters have stated, it is ...
I agree with Nolonger. Keep trying for the RN if she can. If not, i know that you can apply for LPN in certain states you just have to do a little research. Tell your friend not to give up! Good luck...

I feel for you as well. Being in the profession we are in, we have that need..that desire to want to help our patients live a more healthier life. When it is close to home such as your situation, it can be extremely difficult to handle. I agree with ...

To add to the fellow posts, as someone who works in the ER, that any time you can be around a Level 1 or Level 2 trauma center it will be worth it. It is also important to see first hand what defines a Level 1 or Level 2 according to the facility in ...

I am sorry to hear that as well. I also suffer from IBS and was diagnosed my last year in nursing school. It was very difficult due to the stress. I wish you luck...

I am new here as well. How do i find out more about Suzannes plan? I have failed twice..and am taking it again soon. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
I have taken the boards twice. I am making my third attempt in a few weeks. Many people including my coworkers where suggesting i just sit for LPN boards but..i went to school to be an RN and feel that i cant give up. But at times its hard..especiall...
Good Luck! Just keep believing and you will pass! I will be taking my boards again for the 3rd time in a few weeks. Do not be embarassed! Some people just have a difficult time with test taking. Hang in there..you will be an RN!! You will be in my pr...
