  1. I think I might be losing my mind

    Yes, I felt that way in nursing school. I did the only thing I could do, I studied & studied some more. Why don't you devote like two hours a day while on break to studing & answering NCLEX questions. In nursing there is always something to ...

  3. I messed up

  4. How to get over the "new nurse" fear

    Everyday in nursing you pray for a good day. I pray that nobody codes, or has a heart attack, or stroke, or something like that. The only thing that gives me peace is my training. I know that if something did happen I've been trained to handle it. Th...
  5. I messed up

    That is a whole lot to do for such a little mistake. If I was the DON I would have just said hello to you inside the room & then introduced you to the son, & kept it moving. People make the biggest tado about nothing.
  6. "You won't like being a CNA!"

    So, I've been accepted into the nursing program at my community college. There is a 1 to 2 year waiting list. While waiting I'm taking my pre-req's. I also took a CNA class, so that I can get started in the health field, gain some experience with wor...

  8. I took my NCLEX PN on April. 7th. In my state they do offer the quick results in 48 hours. Our licenses are posted a either the same day as the quick results or the next day on the BON. So, I took my test and decided not to do the PVT trick or purc...
  9. When you have a patient and they look into your eyes and say that they are so grateful for the help that you have given them. Also, when I got the privilege to hold a patients hand as she died. It's the little things that gives this job so much meani...
  10. Motivation to Pass my LPN Nclex

    Passing school does say something. It says that you tenacity and perseverance. You just need to use that same tenacity & perseverance to get you through the finish (NCLEX) line. I couldn't afford those expensive study tools either. What I did use...

  15. Anyone only use 1-3 resources and pass NCLEX?

    I used NCBSN 8 week course for $100.00. They are the people who write the test. I passed the NCLEX-PN in 85 questions. I recommend it to everyone.

    You can do it. When I graduated my children were 3,5,13,&14. It does take a lot of time and studying but the time will fly by before you know it.
  20. Apprehensive of the responsibility

    So, I just graduated nursing school & am waiting to take the NCLEX. For my job I had to have a phone interview, a nursing assessment (nclex type questions), and a skills test in order to become an LPN, which I passed. My school has almost a 99% ...

    She said 2017 for the Lpn and then you'll have to get back on the waiting list for the RN program? That's a long time. I guess that's about right I waited 1 1/2 years for the LPN. I hope to be back in the RN program in Aug. 15 or Jan. 2016 with God's...
