I took my NCLEX today at 10am...I got 85 questions and felt like a complete moron! And I wanted to do the PVT but it still saying "ready for delivery" UGH!!! I was the second in my class to take it. The first girl got her quick results today and passed. I'm so anxious to see my results so I can either celebrate or go straight to work`on preparing for my next attempt.

We do lots of fundraisers for various things throughout the year. The first thing we do is class dues. We pay 5.00/mo for 25 students equals 125.00/mo and 1500.00/year. Our main fundraisers are for relay for life, a trip to our state board hearings, and of course, capping/pinning ceremony. We do everything possible to make money...no matter how little our how much. We purchcase/get donations of canned drinks and we buy them within our class and sell at lunches and breakfasts for 75 cents each. We also have a recycling drive and we take those drinks plus ones from home and make money from that. We do class-only potluck lunches. We do lunches for the school that include hotdogs/chili dogs/nachos. We have done pizza day. We get a great deal from a local place and sell them by the slice. We've done breakfast where everyone makes something (sausage, ham, bacon biscuits), biscuit and gravy, cinnamon rolls, etc. (GREAT MONEY MAKER if you plan ahead and advertise or do it everyweek on the same day) From our breakfast on a slow day, we made about 200.00. If you do it every month for 10 months, that's 2000.00 right there! We also had Sonic donate sonic cards. they are free and we sold them for 5 dollars each. We made 1250.00 off of those...with no charge to us so it was clear money! Our class organizes a Easter/Fun Day at a local park the weekend before Easter. We sell hotdogs, nachos, etc and have games and a FREE egghunt. I think they made over 2000.00 last year with that. Games, hotdogs and drinks were 1.00 (a ticket) each. We have also bought candy fundraiser boxes from Sam's and we are selling candy bars to ourselves and other students at school for 1.00 each. We are planning bake sales, beaded jewelry sales (including badge holders at the hospital/clinics) Just remember that every little but adds up. I think that we have over 4000.00 already and we've only been in school since jan 4th. $3,000.00 of that money is going to relay for life so over 1,000 is already set aside for graduation or our trip to the state board hearings. Not bad for the first couple of months!
