Hi everyone, just thought I'd share my experience here. After the application closed, the VA called me right away to schedule an interview. I had the interview on Jan 8. They called me on Jan 19 to offer me a part time position (on another unit. not the one I had applied and interviewed for. this position was on another unit that one of the women in the interview managed). I told them I needed a couple of days to consider because I was expecting a full time position and cannot afford to work any less. The woman in HR was very helpful and even gave me the phone number for the nursing manager. After talking to the nursing manager who reassured me that full time positions will always become available, I took the position 2 days later on Jan 21. After I accepted, the woman in HR emailed me right away with documents to sign and return to her and for the instructions for e-Qip. Shortly after, I got the instructions for VetPro. I completed both within a matter of a couple of days. I had the physical and fingerprinting on February 5. It is now the 23rd and I still haven't gotten an official start date yet. I emailed the woman in HR on 2/13 to ask how my application was coming alone and she said they are still waiting for VetPro to be cleared. When it clears, she will call me to figure out a start date. I know the process can take a while but each day that passes and I don't hear from them, I get more anxious.. since everything appears to be tentative.

If your professors have already posted their syllabi online, make sure to take a quick look at them before the first day of class.. Other than that, just bring some paper and something to write with. Don't worry, the first day is always the easiest! Best of luck!

I've never used Kaplan before.. I used the Saunders Comprehensive Review Book and found it to be really helpful -- the way it was organized, the content (wasn't too heavy and really highlighted what you needed to know), a lot of helpful charts/pics/diagrams, etc. However, if you are just looking for a review book with a lot of practice questions, I would not recommend Saunders as their questions are way too easy and you definitely won't find any of those questions on the NCLEX. I hope this helps and good luck!

Hey everyone, My test stopped at 75 questions and I really thought that I had failed. I went home right after (the test site is a 10-min walk from my house) and tried the PVT trick right away and it said I passed. I just got my quick results today and I really did pass so the trick does work!
