What a wonderful post! ?

I worked as a nursing assistant while in nursing school and understand the work. It is hard, physically work but I left every morning at 7:00 am. Now as a RN I work with some good NA's and one older very lazy NA that I'm about to lose patience with, ...

I totally agree!!! What is the point in this "venting" post. I'm proud to be a technology advanced, smart, aggressive new grad full of compassion.. So If I can log online and use a trick to see if I passed NCLEX to help me sleep at night - more pow...

I took NCLEX Monday (July 15th) had the good pop up and BON updated their website today with my new license number!!! So excited, I also had all 265 questions.. So the trick works!

How did it take for the AR BON to approve?

Can either one of you tell me know long it took to get your license when you have something on your background check. I answered yes on application and have already sent in all my info. Mine was a misdemeanor for a small hot check 9 years ago, seen ...

I was pinned on May 17th and it is an awesome feeling to be done with nursing school. Congrats all 2013 grads and all others your time will be here before you know it!!

I did nothing over spring break and I'm playing catch up this week and it sucks... But boy I sure did enjoy sleeping in and hanging out with my kids :)

If you make below a 78%, you're out. You can reapply to get back in the program once. But then again you have to wait a year and re-test.

Edit wrong post

Me too!!! Graduate May 18th!

That pay is weekend with shift diff, I have a friend that works in the area. She said average was around 28 with experience.

I would expect that area of Arkansas for 10 years experience that you will probably start around $35 hr. I know that one of the big hospitals in little rock starts new grads at $25 hr. And that area of Arkansas is pretty comparable to LR economic wis...

This is perfect advice, I also have 3 children and I only have one more semester left and that's how I got this far. Good luck and don't give up!!'

First semester has been the hardest for me not so much the content but the time management. All the reading, studying, clincial paperwork - care plans, and just overall adjusting. As you progress the content becomes more difficult but you learn how ...

I'm in my next to last semster and currently in my OB rotation and we have three test and a final. 65 pt test, 55 pt test, 65 pt test, and 70 pt final. Must have a 78% to pass, if you fail one class your out of the program. We started with 200 and ar...

My husband work from 8:00 - 4:30 and suffers while using most of his income to pay our bill (his words not mine). I work part-time, take care of three kids 12, 8, & 3, go to nursing school full-time, do all the grocery shopping, clean house, all...

Wow!! You are very lucky - best of luck with nursing school!!

The hard thing about nursing school is figuring out what is important and how to apply what you learned. Read your text book!!! NCLEX review books to review the material you read. Download apps with practice questions so you can quiz yourself often -...

I was 4.0 student entering my nursing program I made C's and B's don't have time to stress over A's. With that being said my C's were 82% & 83% in some program this would be considered B's. I usually blow our end of course Evolve out of the water...

May 2013!!! I'm in Peds right now with just a couple weeks left then OB. Last semester is critical care.. Starting to get excited!!
