I would like for you all to let me know if the notes were helpful to you if at all. Keep me posted and I am wishing you all well. Please check your inboxes to the email addresses that you requested for me to send the notes to. I look forward to hearing from each of you:O)

email me by clicking next to my name:O)

Hey everyone. I am so sorry to those that I did not know that were trying to reach me before now. I would suggest that you all try to email me from here because when you post your email address, I may not see it. So do both email me and post your email and I will send my notes. If the ones before you have not taken the nclex and still need the notes let me know:O) I am in Nurse Practitioner School as we speak. So, I want you all to keep your head up! Who would have thought that I would pass the Fail the Nclex this yr, Pass the nclex this year and get accepted to NP school. Anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I have 8 more months left in NP school and I have a 4.0:O) So, don't let some test make you feel like you are incompetent. I wish you all well:O) Getting those notes to you all asap!

Hi got accepted the other day for PMHNP direct entry. My grades were pretty good. 3.8/Grad; 3.5/BSN. GRE waived due to masters; Nurse 7yrs. I think it depends because they look at the whole person concept. Just because you have good grades does not mean that you will make an awesome NP.For those who are already RN's you have a far better chance of getting into Direct entry especially if you are at distance. Rob I would not take the GRE if I didn't have to. I was nervous as heck but I prayed and it all went well. I will continue to pray for all of you. If you have any questions in-box me.

optivox I am just like you. I went to the Open House earlier this month and I applied to the PMHNP program as well. I have an interview next week. Did you get an interview? If so what was it like? IM me or email me. Congrats to everyone else:yeah:

just send me your email via inbox:O)

I am pretty sure that you did well. If you received the good pop up then you PASSED. Sending you an early congrats:O) You are officially an RN!

Hi, my heart goes out to you for I also failed the nclex on the first try. The reason, I should have rescheduled it due to me having mouth surgery the day before. So on October 17, 2010, I went into the test still high off loratab. I got 265. So, I knew that I was having variability. When I walked out, I knew that I failed. So, I decided to continue to study the same way that I studied the first time but minus the surgery. I did well on test in nursing school and scored in the 98% on the Hesi. What I would encourage you to do first is to make a calendar. The Prentice Hall Nursing comprehensive Reviews and rationales book has a calendar in it based on 45 days of prep time. It is awesome and the book is as well. I went through this entire book cover to cover. I also have the Saunders 4th edition Questions and Answer Review by Linda Anne Silvestri. This book is amazing and the CD that comes with it has all of the type of nclex question formats on there. It is definitely tailored like the ideal test. I would encourage you to have this book on hand it has over 4000 plus questions in it alone. I also have the Saunders 4th edition comprehensive review book by Linda Silvestri. This book is ideal for giving you the basics and a review of what you may have forgotten. I divided the sections in the book up by content and studied just like I did when I was in school. So I used all of these three books for the first 30days of study and focused on the areas that I was weak in; being ob and peds. Then the last 15 days of study, I made a list of things to know like labs, infection control gear, burn diagram, Acronyms to remember, and pharm. The last 7 days of study I put all books away and just studied my notes. I focused more on peds calculations and adult mcgs/kgs/min. Then on the day before the test I put all books away. I took the day to rest my mind. I was anxious because this was the second time that I would take the test. Mind you, I could not sleep this night for some reason. So on January 21, 2011, I went into the test anxious, but confident. I prayed before starting and 6hrs later I was done. I had 265 questions again. When I made it to question 199, I had a talk with myself; I knew that the test was not going to cut off and that the next 65 questions meant a pass or fail for me. I focused really hard on the next 65. I went home nervous and crying. An hour later I tried the Pearson vue trick and got the pop up. The first time when I failed it took me straight to the credit card page. I knew that this was a good sign but I was not truly convinced. So, I waited the next 48hrs and paid the $7.95 for the score report and the score report said PASS!!! I still was not convinced and the next morning the FBON had my license number on there with my name! I WAS RELIEVED. I wrote all of this to tell you that it can be done and to not be discouraged. You can inbox me and I will send you my study guide sheets. I am praying for you. Let me know if you have any other questions.:redbeathe:nurse:
