I passed my NCLEX in Nov. 2012. I had a job two days after i found out i passed boards. I live in a small town with one hospital. My job title is LVN/Tele Tech in the ICU. I'm IV Certified and completed the Dyshythmia for monitor tech's course. I don't take report on a pt everyday but i do help with pt care in the ICU. All the nurses i work with let me practice my skills and do as much as possible within the scope of my practice. I would say it is hard for LVN's to get a job but i wouldnt say its a complete waste of time. I'm learning things just by being in a hospital setting while Im continuing my education to RN. It is also a plus because Im making money to put myself through school.

I had to do ATI throughout nursing school and some i passed and some i didnt. I got 78% when i did the comp ATI test. It was not required for us to do though. I took my test on Thursday 10-18-12 and i have no idea how i did. I felt like i did good on some questions and others i didnt feel too confident. The test cut off on me at question 141. I know for a fact i answered the last question correct. I live in California so we dont participate in Quick Results. I have to wait 4 weeks. =( Its stressing me out so bad!!

I graduated in May 2012 from an LVN program. I did very well in Clinicals but on test, I ranged from C's and D's. Some B's. My test date is Thursday and I been studying every day, making sure I'm not over studying also. I have taken several ATI tests and I'm getting 63%-70%. Its really discouraging. I'm also studying from the Saunders Book and doing flash cards. Since I'm doing bad on ATI test, will I do bad on NCLEX?
