Congrats to all of you for getting into the residency programs.. How does one find out about where programs are?

What area of the country are you in? California pretty tough..

how to find out where Versant RN resident programs are?

I did Kaplan.. got 60-70's all tests. Took NCLX today.. not sure if i passed. Pretty darn tough.

did anyone take it today? I thought it was pretty tough.. Done in 1.5 hrs. Kind of has me worried. I don;'t feel good about it at all. I think i did about 130 q's. Anyone else? Advice for 2nd time?

I can totally relate -- i'm also a change-of-career "over-30" student, struggling to get past the learning hurdles of clinical, and up against teachers looking over my shoulder and causing me to be so stressed out that my knees shake! It gets better.. hang in there!!! We "older students" have our particular strengths and weaknesses, and "beginning again" is tough, at any age. But have confidence-- you can, and will, do it!
