    landonsles replied to Boston-RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated 5/11/06, and rec'd my ATT (via email) 5/16/06. That's pretty darn fast if you ask me!! I have scheduled my test for next Thursday 5/25. (I had to do it very soon b/c I am in my last...

  2. So how long did you study before taking the NCLEX?

    landonsles replied to IvoryLena's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    :yeahthat: I would highly encourage you to take the NCLEX before the baby if at all possible. I, too, am due in June (6/22 to be exact, but babies are never "exact" LOL) and I have scheduled my test...

    landonsles replied to alex1's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. will i have enough time??

    landonsles replied to babynurse06's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First off--congrats on graduation!! Did you go through Pearson Vue to sign up to take the test? If so, you might get your ATT sooner than you think... At our school, we applied to the BNE (and sent...

  5. pre-reqs taken years ago...

    landonsles replied to dvas00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends upon your pgm. There are five nursing pgms in my general area, and only one of them had no time limit on pre-reqs. All the others had a five yr "expiration" date. Funny--I never really...

  6. medicine or wives tale????

    landonsles replied to leigh21's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. Is it really that bad?!

    landonsles replied to Earlygirlie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I remember orientation when they tried to scare the stuffing out of us. I made it my mission (if you will!) to attend every orientation & set the record straight. Is NS hard? At times, yes....

  9. What would you do??

    landonsles posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's the situation: I will graduate 5/11/06 (school in TX). I am due with my third child 6/22--now we all know that babies don't believe in due dates, and I have a hx of delivering 37-38 weeks. I...

  10. What would you do??

    landonsles replied to landonsles's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It looks like you have 365 days to be "made eligible" by your BNE (I read this to mean background checks and education verified), but only a limited amt of time after you receive your ATT to actually...

  11. Pregnancy and Gential Herpes

    landonsles replied to Toothbrushx2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My OB instructor said that they recommend C/S's for women with herpes (who are not in an active outbreak at time of delivery). SHe seems to think that in the next couple of years, it will be the...

    I'm in my last semester of an ADN pgm, and I have maintained my 4.0 throughout college (all 100+ hrs of it--yeah, I've changed my major a time or two...or three!) For semesters 1-3, I would avg about...

  13. Which class is easier?

    landonsles replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in General Students

    Are you 100% sure that your humanities will not transfer? I had the same problem, but when I talked to the head of the dept, she accepted my humanities based on the syllabus. (I am a packrat and...

  14. Age when you had your first child?

    landonsles replied to sugabuga's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First at 22. Second at 29. There was a definite difference in my parenting at 22 and 29. I don't think it was that I already had a child b/c it was like having a 1st all over again. I think it was...

  15. Sometimes it isnt good to be a health professional

    landonsles replied to Noryn's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in the dental field for 6 years--in my office, a debridement was halfway between a reg cleaning and a deep scaling and root planing. We use Oraqix--it's a cool needle-less anesthetic (think...

  17. Fertililty & cycle questions galore

    landonsles replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. Our clinical instructor was fired mid semester...help!

    landonsles replied to landonsles's topic in General Students

    I was in such a hurry last night that I don't think I made things very clear (sorry!). What I meant to say is that we are not up to par on our paperwork (concept maps) not on our clinical skills--we...
