You all are so encouraging! Thank you EVERYONE for your kind words to those on the site. Nurses are unbelievable and everyone on this site just reconfirms why I chose this profession!! I have yet to take my NCLEX-RN...scheduled in approx 3 weeks. Literally having nightmares, migraines, crying fits, can't eat, can't sleep....which ISNT HELPING me study at all. I just feel so incompetent. Any advice for me?? Took a review course, I've been doing my nightly 3 hours of studying....but still feeling down in the dumps lately. Sending prayers to all those in my shoes....really need some positive energy to push us through!!!!!!!

I heard that it is a GREAT sign if you can't reregister for the test...could just be a myth but at this point you can take any positive reinforcement you can get! Just believe in yourself, I'm sure you did fine. I have yet to take the exam, im scheduled in about 3 weeks. I sat down and cried today, just feeling like I can't handle anymore. Working tons, studying, barely have time to eat! This stress is getting to me and has me wishing I could have taken the exam sometime sooner---like this week. Unfortunately, by the time I sent in all the paperwork and received my ATT, all the test dates for the local center were taken, this pushed my back until July. Any advice for a worn-out, tired, mentally exhausted soon-to-be RN?!?!?!

I agree. I thought that they should have an interview with the person interested in the program to make sure that they are serious about this field. Im sure it would eliminate people who are not sure if this is really for them. A family friend of mine completed the program at NECC about 10 years ago...it was necessary that the applicants write an essay about themselves and why they were interested in the program. I think that this is something they should look into doing again. Good luck and I hope to see you get into the program soon.

hello everyone, i applied in september 2008 for the fall 2009 and was accepted. i decided that this was the program i wanted to get into as soon as i got out of highschool so i have been working at this since i graduated in 2007. i have been doing summer courses as well as being a full time student in the fall and spring semesters to get all of my pre-reqs done. has anyone else been accepted into the program here? also, i just wanted to respond to ljv4boys...i took my teas last summer, i did well, i passed the math portion by the skin of my teeth but i did pass all other subjects fine. i found the math portion to be the hardest, but thats just me! my suggestion would be to read and study the practice book like crazy. i think the question in the teas prep manual were wonderful, they were just like the questions on the test...did you get the book? as far as my pre-reqs...i got a's in everything. i heard that it is extremely important to get a's in your sciences in order to get into the program. i havent spoke with anyone else in the program so i am only speaking on my behalf. good luck and i would just say to try very hard to get a's as well as study hard for your teas. good luck to everyone.
