Don't give up hope!!! It will all work out. I am a recent grad of Shadyside SON and without going into long boing detial i went through wayyyyy more drama than it appears you have... and would do it all again. In the end it was worth it the program is amazing! Just remember that if you get the sciences out of the way make sure you do them both A&P 1 and 2 and that you take them at the same place otherwise they will make you do it over...lol they are full of annoying quirks but even with that you will be hard pressed to find a better program.

My first concern after graduation was whether or not i would be able to find a job. Ok. so i got a job. now what?. I just graduated in Dec of 2010 and passed the boards a couple of weeks ago. I am a bit surprised at how fast I got a job because I didnt even apply until I had passed the nclex. now the issue is that i was hired on to an abdominal transplant unit and the patients tend to be very sick, much sicker than those i typically saw on my clinical rotations during school. I am a bit concerned because the orientation time with a preceptor is only 6 weeks long. and while that may sound like a long time we only work 3 days a week 12hr shifts so i am really concerned that it will not be enough time to learn what i need to learn. Dont get me wrong i am very happy that i found a job so quickly, but i thought i would have more time to adjust to finishing school before i was thrown the the wolves........

thanks everyone

I am in PA. And keep the faith.. all is well and you will be able to take your sigh of relief soon!

Thanks... still dont have the pearson vue quick results but a friend let me know that i am up on the BON so it doesnt get more official than that...... thanks for all the well wishes and good luck everyone

good luck to everyone still waiting... for me the agony is over... still not quick results but this afternoon my name is up on the BON

turns out you were right jason..... still no results on pearson vue but name is up on the BON for my state

Didn't even have to wait for quick results.... A friend called me this morning to tell me that my name was up on the bon!!!!! Good luck everyone..... Have faith

THANKS! I got 75 and to be honest I didnt have a study plan. As soon as we started med/surg in school we were told to start answering questions and not to stop until we had done at least 5000.. all through school i probably did about 7000 that is pretty much it other than a quick lab value and med math review the week before i tested.

I know that I am a little late, wish I had seen this thread before i took the test! At any rate it isnt too late to ask everyone to pray for my sanity as I wait for results. I took the exam yesterday morning and am completely losing my mind!

I am a nervous wreck! I took the test yesterday morning and I havent slept since. I have cleaned the house from top to bottom... including the attic and the garage, I gave both of my dogs baths and haircuts (they were not amused). They did however forgive me later when i made them a chuck roast for dinner lol! My mother is so tired of me obsessing that she has turned her cell phone off. How on earth did everyone stand the wait? I did try the PVT and got the "good pop up" which eased my mind a little but you know how it is..... everybody thinks that they will be the fist person that it doesn't work for ...lol I am no different. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to pass the time or funny stories about when they were waiting it would be greatly appreciated... I could use the diversion.

i want to thank you so much for your response! i took it to heart and it really helped me hold on to inner peace and calmness as i took my exam. i am eternally grateful. as a side note if the the pvt is to be believed all is well and i will have great news once the quick results are posted. again.. many many thanks:heartbeat

hey the hard part is over .... we did it!!!! but i can relate no point in checking until tomorrow for me so i am just trying to keep myself busy lol

CONGRATS!!! i took mine this morning and i wasnt as patient as you lol... i tried the trick on my way home via my phone .. GOT THE GOOD POP UP YEAH!!!!!
