  1. I graduated from Hondros (Fairborn location) in 2015 and I did the LPN to RN bridge. We never did clinicals in a nursing home. I went to the VA, Grandview, Southview Hospital and did my preceptor-ship...
  2. Failed nclex 5x

    Did you ever
  3. Great job, RN! Good luck to
  4. I passed NCLEX on the 4th try!

    Awesome! I too passed on 4th try. I went to a live NCLEX review and I honestly believe it was my saving grace. I failed with 160, 265, and 75 questions. The 3rd time I failed really was a blow to my...
  5. Mark Klimek Nclex review

    I listened to Mk audios and while they were helpful I did a review called ItNurse. It is very similar to Mk but I thought how they taught the strategies were better. Just my opinion
  6. Failed 1,2,3,4,5,6xs.....7th Passed

    Congrats! I passed on my 4th
  7. Breezing along... until...

    I struggled with physiology for some reason also. My school required us to do 3 A+P classes. They built on each other. I failed the 3rd A+P class. But I was 8 or 9 months pregnant and had like 3 other...
  8. does the pvt still work?

    Congrats! I got the good pop up and received an email the next day from my state's BON that I had an active license (I am in Ohio) So it worked for me. We have quick results, but it was nice to save...
  9. How often do you do med reconciliation?

    I usually do it every visit. And I stress to my LPNs to keep me updated on any new medications. I always did that when I was an LPN. I wanted my case managers to be up to date on all
  10. Did you ever get
  11. casemangers: do you call the md every recert?

    Yes, absolutely. But as a poster above stated, I usually get a verbal from the MA or nurse that works in the office. And since we just finished cold and flu season I needed to verify if they got a flu...
  12. kaplan vs. Mark Klimek?

    ItNurse review is much better and about the same price as Mark Klimek. I have heard his audio and read the notes and they were helpful but I had so much more success with the other review. I had...
  13. The reality is home health care is where the jobs are.

    I have been a nurse for a long time. I started my nursing career in 2009 as an LPN. I could not find anything full time and decided to pick up PRN at a few places and finally got a job at a LTC...
  14. Did I fail NCLEX????!!!

    Yes, that's what I mean. Sorry for the confusion. And to the pp, if you are talking to me, no I don't, sorry lol. Not my type of job anyway, lol. Have a good one and I mean that. I am not one to start...
  15. RN NCLEX licensure, help!!!!!

    I had 2 girls I became good friends with in LPN school who are like that, well at least 1. 1 took it 3 times maybe and never passed. I noticed she submitted another application to the board, but we...
  16. What the above posters said. Just because you got all 265 means nothing. You were probably so close it had to keep asking questions. If it was sure at 75, it would've shut you down then. I failed at...
  17. Did I fail NCLEX????!!!

    Whether or not you got the last question right is not what determines if you passed. You have to be above the line to
  18. TOOK NCLEX TODAY!!!

    Good
  19. TOOK NCLEX TODAY!!!

    The PVT worked for me. I have heard of ppl getting it and failing and vice versa. Sounds like you did good. I'd say either wait and pay the quick results if your state participates. You could also...
  20. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    I agree with the last poster. I am a repeat tester myself but it didn't take me 10+ times to pass. I passed on my 4th try. Had I not passed this last time I probably would've stayed an LPN. Hopefully...
  21. Nclex on Saturday.Please pray for me

    Hey, you are not a loser. Everyone feels horrible when they fail. You are talking to a girl who passed the RN exam on her 4th try. Now I am case managing and working with LPNs under me. You can do it!...
  22. Nclex on Saturday.Please pray for me

    If it took your money then you probably failed. That's why if you do the trick it's good to use a card with no money on it and change the expiration date. That's what I did and I got the good pop up...
  23. Athena or Hondros

    Thank you! No I work home health. I have a special needs child and I like the flexibility. I make my own hours and days and it really is nice. Maybe in a hospital someday, but I make a decent living...
  24. Do all LTC facilities have RN's?

    I would say yes. I worked on assisted living at a LTCF and the skilled nursing side had at least one RN each shift (they worked 12s, I did
  25. Athena or Hondros

    Go to Hondros. I graduated from there in 2015 and passed my boards last year. I graduated right before they changed the classes so I don't know how that is. But I am happy with my education and yes I...
