What town? Just curious...I live in Evansville right now but grew up in Syracuse by Warsaw and Goshen.

I would personally check out the state school and save money. I'm enrolled in a state school online rn-bsn program and my bill this semester was $1200 and its the number 1 nursing program in my state. Best of luck to you and good for you for continuing your education!

the test is designed so that you second guess yourself. i could always narrow the multiple choice down to 2 answers. i passed so i guess i knew more than i thought. i felt confident on about 10 or so questions but passed with 75 questions. good luck

11. while it's fun to try the "PVT", it's not official until your state BON posts on their website

Watch fireworks, celebrate, eat a good dinner and go to bed early. Good luck!!! Play some good music to get you pumped up on your way to test :)

i'd like you to ask yourself this question, "are my classmates going to be paying my bills after college?" most likely, the answer is no. while i don't think you should be clawing your way to the top through questionable means (which you are not), sending emails inquiring about positions or making your name known to managers is not a bad thing. of course there will be a sense of competition! the economy sucks and you say you will all be working for the same hospital. i feel for you! you can do it!!! try to focus on your studies, get ready to take nclex, and prepare for life after school...good luck!!!

oops!!! i completely forgot all about ati! gee, maybe i had a reason to block ati from my memory??!!! lol. my school utilized ati throughout the whole program so i did a BUNCH of ati stuff throughout and alwas did really well with that. we were also made to do the ati comprehensive predictor and i got a 98% chance of passing nclex the first time. now, just because you do well on that or an exit test doesn't mean you're going to pass because that test isn't the nclex and there are no absolute predictors (according to marlene hurst) but it did make me feel a smidge better. good luck!!!

great job!!! i just passed also :) i left my nin cd's at home so unfortunately i didn't get to listen to anything to pump me up...i just went in and was like, i'm just here to get my license and leave...and i did great job to all of us passers!!!!!!!!!!!!

i looked at the saunders book a little but i used the saunders book during my program to study as well. i didn't review super hard. i studied super hard during my 2 years of school like it was my job. so i basically just did hurst online (some of the lectures i watched twice) and i studied the book that went with it and did 300 saunders questions and that's basically it. well, i also worked full time for 4 weeks on the floor. that helped, especially to learn about PEG tubes and tube feedings and PICC lines since we didn't really study that in school.

oops i meant to say computer charting!!!

I passed it still hasn't hit me yet!!! it's going to be awesome to go to work and not have a nurse sign after my paperwork and meds

I used Hurst online review and did 300 Saunders questions. I didn't feel that the NCLEX was super different from these two as far as format goes. By that I mean when I was going through the questions it sort of felt like when I did practice questions. We'll see when I get my results :uhoh21:

well, i finally took my nclex today!!! don't know whether to feel sick or excited that it's over...i had to wait a long time because my school took 5 (!!!!!!) weeks to send in the paper to the state and then i had to wait 4 days to get my att. it shut off at 75. i can only hope that is a good thing. i do feel super relieved that it's over. how do you all feel now that it's over and you are waiting for your results? p.s. i have decided not to do the pearsonvue trick...unless i get absolutely desperate lol...
