I've done this before (while applying for PCT/CNA positions).

I definitely agree with the "two ears and one mouth" thing. Everyone will be concerned about what YOU made on your exam and comparing themselves to other people. There's gossip about instructors AND students. Don't get involved with any of it! Do any...

Everyone won't be supportive when you're accomplishing your goals. One of my best friends, who inspired me to go into nursing, told me (last year, when I found out that I was accepted into the program) she didn't want to "wipe butts for a living". Mi...

Not necessarily, but to each their own. I study at the dining room table. There are two different desktop computers in my house and I have never studied at either one of those desks. Unless, there were NCLEX questions online but then again, I'd proba...

congrats!!

Good luck!!

When are you taking your exam? Hopefully the week of the 23rd :-DWhat are you using for study? I have PDA, NCLEX Cram (I've been slacking on this one. I think I'm on Exam #3 now.), Kaplan's Strategies, Practice, & Review (finished!), and I'll be ...

In 8 weeks, I'll be finished with the LPN program. I feel like I don't know enough to be "thrown into the wolves" just yet. I'm so nervous that I'm thinking about not taking the NCLEX-PN at all! I'll be continuing into the 2nd year of the RN program....

That's exactly how I feel!! I feel so amazing being on the hospital floor at clinical...as if I'm a part of SOMETHING. Now that I'm closer to accomplishing my goals, I'm so nervous. Like, I know that I don't know everything...how on earth do they exp...

I haven't read any of the other posts but I strongly encourage you to not give up. I was the worst when it comes to taking math exams. I started in remedial math when I started college 5 years ago and would failed 2x then progressed to the next level...

CONGRAAAAAATS!!!!

When they text/call complaining about not scoring '100' points on their third try on an ONLINE (clearly open book) EXAM? Or, complain about typing a 3 page paper? I love my friends, but SHEESH!! Sometimes, I want to throw my phone when I hear or get ...

OMG, this was hilarious! Thank you! :hug:

Yayyyy!!I can't wait until I'm that close! Good luck:yeah:

"-____- srsly woman." —exactly what goes through my mind lol!!!

That's basically my mindset when taking exams! I see classmates stress over topics that the instructor didn't cover, won't be included on the exam, and/or basic A&P. If it's not mentioned in lecture and won't be included in exams, then I'm not co...

LOVE IT…I AGREE!!

Same here! I am no where near a morning person. As soon as I graduate, I will be more than happy to accept an evening or night shift! Don't get me wrong, I kind of get a rush from being on the floor and it feels like I'm a part of something so much b...

I agree that Maternal and Newborn Success is pretty awesome! I borrowed this book from a classmate and it was the BOMB-DIGGITY. I went from a 'D' on my first exam to a 'B' on the second. OB isn't my thing, but I have to pass it. Many of my OB exam qu...

I wouldn't start reading it right now if I were you (it's up to you though). It will help when you actually start taking your exams, especially if you get a book or cards that are broken down into different subjects. I have NCLEX cards (found them on...

I feel the same way that you do but when I tell my mother that I'd rather not attend, I can see the disappointment in her eyes.

I am in my second semester of the program and I feel exactly the way you do. Although I've accomplished so many of my life goals in the past couple of years, I find myself stressing about the future. What can I do now that will help me later? I'm con...

Hi everyone, First of all, let me say that I have absolutely no disrespect for any of the specialities or nurses working in certain specialities. However, OB nursing...I just don't get it. We've only gone through two lectures and one exam, which I di...

I just want to tell you not to give up because I'm feeling the same way about OB right now. Good luck and we'll be waving our license in the air before we all know it!

@Esme12---I've never thought of it in that way. Just a year or two ago, I was encouraging my younger siblings to stay focused on the prize (they were high school seniors) because they stressed how much they hated high school. Now, I'm feeling exactly...
