I just took the exam. I got home and tried the trick. Here is the message that I got, "The candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be created at this time." Does this mean that I passed????? I'm so nervous!!! Thanks!!!

What is the trick? What is the good screen? I will be taking NCLEX soon and would love to know the trick!! Thanks!!

PurpleRNtobe: How long did you study? How many weeks? I just graduated last week and am just starting to study. Just curious how many weeks you studied and how many week you would recommend. Thanks!! And, congrats!!!!

I know what you mean. I feel like I've already waited so long to have kids. We want to have at least 3 kids and I'd like to have them before I turn 35, and I'm already 30! I always wanted to be a younger mom, but it's too late for that! I want to have both a career and family and that seems so hard to do. I know you can never wait for the "perfect" time to have kids, because if you did, you'd probably never have them. Deciding when to have kids is such a difficult decision to make! I feel so conflicted.

I just graduated from nursing school and have a job lined up!! It was actually my first choice job, so I'm pretty excited. My husband and I have been wanting to start trying for our first baby for quite some time (we are both 30 and not getting any younger!!). We are debating between starting to try now or waiting until I have been working for 3 months so that I will be eligible for FMLA by the time the baby is due. I would like to take 12 weeks off, but I would be okay with only having 6 weeks off. Also, if I didn't have enough PTO to cover my time off, we would be okay financially, so that isn't an issue. What I am worried about is whether they will keep my job open while I am off. I know they don't technically have to unless I'm covered by FMLA. However, the hospital seems to be pretty family friendly. But, there is definitely not a nurse shortage in my city - new grads are having trouble finding jobs. I really want to keep this job and continue working there after I have a baby, but I really want to have a baby too. We've been putting off having a family for so long due to school, jobs, etc. Has anyone else been in this situation or know someone who has? Do you think that they will let me have time off and will hold my job open?
