Thank you!! I'm so happy.. I feel so relieved. Now I gotta focus on becoming a RN.

I used NCLEX mastery pn... I had ATI as part of the program so I did almost all of the practice exams. Which were alot. And then my program had 2 nclex predictors and a live review from the NLN... I also had a study guide one of my professors made. I didn't do much in terms of outside material because I simply couldn't afford it... I just got my results a few hours ago and I passed!! Thank god! Next up RN...

104 questions faints, I was confident in the beginning and then it got super hard. Alot of select all that apply for me, alot of diabetes (so I think I was getting those wrong) 1 math (it was a i/o) 5 pharm questions. Omg I can't wait to find out if I passed.

Got it JustBeachyNurse I appreciate it!

Sorry maybe I needed to be more specific. I Google and found those but I was curious as to what constitutes if it was approved or not? There are quite a few of them and I didn't want to waste money by buying one that wasn't approved.

I keep seeing job posts that would like applicates with an "approved" IV therapy course. Where can I find if a course is approved or not. I'm in the Orlando, FL area. Thanks.

I took my nclex predictor last week. I did very well. I'm submitting my application today and class ends for me on the 21st witb graduation on the 28th.

@beautifulstar I have not but I did take a pre licensure readiness exam from the NLN and did pretty good. It was like if I had taken the nclex that day I would have passed. We have a NLN live review on 11/3 and 11/4 so I hope to take it shortly after that.

@Nathifalr26 if you don't mind me asking what other school re you looking it? I live next door to Valencia and I wanted to try to get it but I didn't have any other backups except Polk State in winter garden.

Yes I had my run ins with I was told this during my meetings and once I started it was nothing like I was told. If you want to see if a school is truly accredited check the florida board of nursing website. It's a half truth half lie kind of game and if you don't peep it you go for it. Cambridge has accreditation from some other places but not NLN or CCNE which is needed if you plan to move on. It happened to me I was told my lpn credits would transfer to the CC and guess what they dont, the CC accepts the LPN License itself. I started January 2014 and first set of clinicals began sept 2014. However there were a few courses after that where we would have lecture for like 2 weeks and then go back to clinicals. Also I started with a class of 11, it me and another girl from the original class and then 2 drop ins (someone who failed or left and had to retake the course) so it's a totally of 4 of us. We actually tweeked our schedule some classes with the director of nursing approval. I'm in OB clinicals right now and guess what? we don't have a clinical site so we are at the school 2 nights and saturdays doing book work. The manniquin that's in the lab is broken so it doesn't simulate birth anymore so we are watching youtube videos. End of this month until 10/21 I'm in pediatric clinicals thank god we have a site but it's only on saturdays we still have to come to class 2 days during the week to fulfill our clock hours.

Yes it did. Yes Cambridge did start a ASN. To my knowledge the pre reqs are included and you get no credit if you already have them completed. Next it's a new program so it is not accredited yet. It's approved but not accredited. Plus the price is double that of the PN for a ASN. I'm going to pass on that. But I really hope something works out for you. Just keep at it you will find your path

Do you have any pre reqs done for your RN? I did my PN program and took a few courses online to finish off my pre reqs. Also make sure you throughly do your research on the college network. Anyway Congrats and good luck!!

That was exactly what happened to me I was working 40 hrs a week 8 to 5 mon to Fri so a RN program would not have worked for me. I would get out of work and brave traffic to get to school by 6. Once clinicals started it was much better we had clinicals 2 times a week. A 6 to 10pm on a weeknight and then saturdays 630am to about 330pm. I was greatful I got the job at FH I work night shift 12 hrs 3 days a week and they were super flexible with my schedule since I was a student. As a PCT you need to have the cna license. I literally watched youtube. 4yourcna tells you exactly how to do the skills. I look back and laugh at how easy those skills are lol. I too wish i had of found a pct job but then again i would of gotten a rude awaking when i would of applied for FA. Starting school my son was 7 months and now he is 2. I feel a little guilty working/schooling so much but In the end it is totally worth. If anyone knows the battle your going through it is me. You gotta do what bests for you. I shake my head at the cost but I plan on busting my butt to pay it off. I just turned 28 so I feel like time is catching up on me but I'm hanging in there. Good luck let me know if I can help in anyway

AshleyBenton, I GRADUATE NEXT MONTH TOOO!! my goodness has this been a long, rough road. I'm in florida and my local community college ASN bridge program which is online but has clinicals is 1 year. I'd start Aug 16 and finish in Aug of the following year. Then after for a BSN your looking at another 18months

Super sorry for all the typos and grammar errors. I'm on my phone and that was a lot to type. Let me know if you have any questions about anything and I'll try my best to help. :)
