I just got my license as a LVN and I've applied every where had a few really good interviews until the issue about my criminal background came up. I shoplifted from the mall in 2008 I was 18 young and stupid! They are both Class B theft misdemeanors,...

Unfortunately I'm going through the EXACT same thing, same crime too I shoplifted when I was 18 young and stupid yes. I passed boards in April put in about 50-60 applications here where I live and other cities as well, I've had a few interviews but t...

Unfortunately the Pearson Trick is about 99% accurate

Does anyone know if once you get accepted into the school, if you can do the pre-reqs online??

If you made it through nursing school you can definitely make it through the nclex! What I did to pass is I invested in these three things 1.Saunders book 2. Online Hurst Review 3. iPhone NCLEX apps I made a calendar and dedicated a few hours a day (...

I know how you feel I failed the first time and felt like a complete failure and I was bummed out for a long time but if you made it through nursing school you can definitely make it through the nclex! What I did to pass is I invested in these three ...

I used Hurst Review and loved it, although it doesn't go into depth about the topics, it is great refresher material I still have membership with Hurst you can PM me if you have questions

Congrats! Great feeling huh :)

Yes. After reading any chapter I would then answer questions on the CD

Do the PVT trick I couldn't wait, as soon as I walked out the testing center I did it and go the good pop up!

At the end of every chapter there are questions to review, and on the CD you go to study then click on content and it lists all the topics you can review individually (cardiac, renal etc)

I used Lippincott NCLEX-RN (still covers LVN material), Lippincott's Med Surg, Silvestri Lite, and NCLEX Qbank. You can easily search NCLEX in the search bar in the App store and all of the apps I listed will show up

I would aim at doing 100-200 a day on the chapter I read that day

I know how you feel I failed the first time and felt like a complete failure and I was bummed out for a long time but if you made it through nursing school you can definitely make it through the nclex! What I did to pass is I invested in these three ...

I suggest you take the assessment exam on the CD that comes with the Saunders book and at the end view your result and print out the study calendar they make for you, it will list the chapters you need to read each day. As for Hurst that's really gre...

What helped me pass was the Saunders book, I like it a lot because it goes in depth about the important things you need to know on the nclex I also used the Hurst Review which is really good because it makes learning a bit fun so it sticks with you a...

Can't wait till they post their new start dates! In the meantime I'm doing the pre-reqs they require at A&M. For the current students how is it so far?

We all aren't perfect but people change and our past shouldn't define us. I would highly suggest you talk to lawyer to get your misdemeanor sealed (non disclosed) it wont show up in your background checks. Good Luck

I'm going through the LVN-RN program as well, and I think you should look on the bright side. You're already a LVN and you've already been through the hard part A&P, pharmacology etc. this will be more of a refresher you can say. You're blessed t...

I walked out feeling like a complete failure but I check and got the god pop up as soon as I left the testing center haha I want to say its 99.99% accurate from all the posts I've read on here so you passed, congrats!!

I failed the first time because I waited too long after graduating, I'm going to list what I did to get back on track and pass the second time around :) 1. Saunders book this book is amazing it pinpoints the major things you need to know and it comes...

I was pretty anxious the second time around but thankfully I passed. I suggest you download a few nclex apps and try to answer as many questions as you can on your spare time and make sure to read the rationales too. On the day before the exam I woul...
