Hello i just passed my nclex pn and i want to move away from Ny for a change of scenery. I love atlanta but a big factor is pay. Online it says the average salary is $49,000. I wanted to know what LPNs start off at with no experience. Where I live they start around 16-20 an hour. Plus... does GA accept NY license transfer. Thanks for your time

Thankyou so much mem. def helped motivate me. Thanks so much for your support!Good luck to you also:):):):):):) ps:thanks again!

Hello everyone. i took my nclex for the 3rd time today and got the good pop up! I did the PVT before and it went straight to credit card page and of course i failed. I am so glad to be done! For all those who have failed. Never give up! Never. I graduate in feb 2010 and just passed nclex. I quit my min wage job a month ago and and studied hard. 100 mandatory everyday. 4 diseases a day. Memorized insulin. Drugs classes. Main drugs ect ect ect.. Main point is never give up! We didnt work hard in school to let a money making state test hold us back from what we wont to do!

Hey mem... i thought of you as soon as i got out... That test was rough! But i did the PVT and it gave me the good pop up!!!!!!!

1st time failed with 85 questions 2nd time failed 205 Took it about 1.5 hr ago and it stopped at 85. Hoping this nightmare is over. By the way, i got slammed with SATA! Will be doing pvt asap! What do yall think?

thank you will let you know results 0f pvt by 11am

Hey thanks for the info. I will be driving to syracuse this tuesday to take my test! Did you find that doing practice questions helped you with learning how to answer or did you actually recognize questions that you have done before. Thanks for the reply's everyone!

Hey mem! So glad to hear you passed! How was the test and any tips or questions you remember? My test got cancelled friday so I will be driving 1hr to syracuse to take the test. Any new tips since you have taken it and succeeded!

Luck continues... Just received and email saying that my exam has been unscheduled due to the weather and the next appointment is on the 22nd... Really discouraged : ( Any suggestions on what to review study while i impatiently wait... i think im going to drive over an hour to take it..

I am scheduled to take my test 9/9/11 and feel ready! I live in binghamton ny and were in a state of emergency due to a major flood! The center was closed today and most likely tomorrow. If this is the case. What should i do? Should i study? What should i study or do? And has this happened to anyone before.

Will do! Ps Know remember dilantin, gout, cpr, precautions, seizures because they were on the test both times i took it!

Thankyou so much!

Just wanted some tips and motivation in the closing days

Hello I am a male graduated nurse from upstate NY, and i have been reading posts from this site for a long time. I will be taking my NCLEX for the 3rd time on friday september 9th. When i graduated nursing i worked for 6 months as a GPN, and i know i should have taken it before but o well. The first time i took the test i didn't study at all and was rushed to take it to keep working...Failed with 85 questions. 2nd time i took the test all i did was around 600 questions and the rationals and memorized some of the lab values. Failed with 205. This has been the longest between tests. I have went through so many changes, financially, emotionally, and physically. Anything i have ever done i have been successful. I was working at a call center making basically minimum wage until one day i got mad at myself and decided i didnt drive 1 1/2hr round trip everyday for school to work here. I quit and decided i am going to take my test and work at it. I am married and have two beautiful daughters and want to provided for them like i want to. This time around i really devoted myself. 100 questions a day for a month (3000). Memorized all labs. Went over major diseases. Drug classifications down. Common drugs. Reviewed Saunders Strategies for Nclex success front and back. Taught diseases to my wife to help me retain it better. Over all i feel way better about my knowledge and and strength as a nurse. This time i am actually excited to take the test. And i would be hurt so bad if i didnt pass this time. Thankyou for your time and listening to me. Sorry for all the typos lol. Have a great day!
