Help! I'm having a creative block. We are designing shirts (along with the rest of maternal-child) for our L&D unit and I am trying to come up with a cute slogan. We WILL be wearing these at work so of course it has to be appropriate for that pur...

Hi all! I'm reaching out to all you AZ RN's. I'm a new grad (December) in California. My husband just recently lost his job to re-structuring and we are considering a re-location to AZ as we have family here that we would like to be closer to. (In fa...

Keep in mind that most test takers miss about half of the questions (which would be 30'ish since 15 don't count toward your score) and PASS (and when was the last time you got a 50% on a test? No wonder people think they failed!!). I am certain that ...

Boonersmom...This was me to a tee. Graduated on 12/16 and scheduled my date for 1/23 then moved my date to 1/2 at my husband/instructor(s) urging. They told me not to study and, while I agree that was probably insane, I did not. I ate breakfast that...

Apparently not until the "file is complete" which in my case may be never it seems...

Wow.... God is so good. Thank you for sharing.

I took NCLEX on 1/2 (graduated on 12/16). My school has STILL not sent transcripts so the CA BRN won't issue me a license anyway, but I was going to call and hope they might give me unoffical results over the phone, however, when I phoned the recordi...

:ancong!::urck::hgu: now... :onbch:

This is my situation now... Graduated on 12/16. IP on 12/19. ATT on 12/22. NCLEX on 1/2 (taken ASAP at the urging of my instructor). Guess what? My school has not sent my transcripts yet, so even if the BRN KNOWS I passed (or failed) they won't tell...

Hang in there and keep the faith.... Your test sounds typical to me. The tests are a mix.. no two are alike ;o). The "average" test taker will miss 50%. I have a feeling this is why so many feel so defeated! When was the last time you got a 50% on a ...

Still waiting.... My DON said yesterday that transcripts are with the SON "evaluator"!! Who is the "evaluator" and why isn't she (or he) sending the BRN my transcript!? I got my IP and ATT within a week of graduation (but then I sent in those forms m...

Good luck Weezie.. let us know!

Yep waiting.... no quick results here (you gotta love California.. land of the hand processed files) and my SON has not sent transcripts yet. They say this week hopefully. You'd think they could get that done!! Thanks everyone for your kind words and...

You have it right... At least that's how it goes in California. You can't even think about taking NCLEX until your SON has sent preliminary paperwork. Time from payment to receipt of ATT varies (took mine about 20 minutes via email, my girlfriend abo...

I have always operated with the 'if you know it you know it' attitude. If you don't then by all means put in some good study time but if you do then relax and just take the darn thing!! Get it the heck over with!! Good luck. Treat yourself to some re...

Fingers crossed and prayers your way!! Let us know when you see your POSITIVE result!!

don't know yet. CA does not participate in quick results and I know that my SON has not sent transcripts yet so my file is "incomplete" (and of course they won't release results until they have transcripts which we all know is lame since you know the...

Keep checking my spot popped up on Sunday night!!

AT the urging of my instructors (based on class and ATI scores I suppose) I did not study (or take a review course). I planned to, but the more they told me not to the better it sounded. So I went in blind. Totally blind. Not that I would recommend ...

Took my NCLEX today (graduated 12/16). Did not study at all. I'll let you know (75 questions.. in and out under an hour)

AHHHHHHH. I graduated on Dec 16. Scheduled my NCLEX for Jan 23rd (wanting time to study) and then rescheduled it (on the advisement of my instructor and the persistence of my husband) and took it TODAY!! 75 questions. In and out in under and hour. Ph...

Well on my instructors suggestion I am taking the test without studying at all. She told me prior to graduation (after looking at my ATI etc.) that her best advice to me, and she hoped I would take it, would be this... (and I quote) " Don't study for...

Not taking a review either. I too had a 99% predictability on the ATI. My instructor pulled me aside and told me that I ought not waste my $. Basically said there is no way I would fail. Now I'm sure how much I believe her BUT I don't want to spend ...

Graduated 12/16, had my IP on Thursday 12/20 and my letter from the BRN yesterday 12/21. Paid my $200 to Pearson Vue last night and woke up to my ATT in my email in box. I wasn't sure how that worked but apparently they give you your ATT as soon as y...

I got my ATT today and registered to take the NCLEX on Jan. 23rd!!! They had dates has soon as next week! My husband thought I should take it ASAP but we have had some trouble with results being delayed d/t the SON not sending transcripts. I figured ...
