Drug seekers
I don't care. If there is an order for you to receive iv pain medications I will write the next time that you can receive it on the board. Don't ask for it any sooner (this just applies to drug seekers). It's not my place to determine whether you actually deserve it or not.

What does the PA board website say if you failed the nclex
Your name would not appear if you failed. My license number was posted within 24 hours. I finished my exam 2pm and I had a license number by 10am the next morning. Just an FYI for somebody else with the same question.

ADN vs Diploma
I would go with st lukes. I went to a diploma program and had no problems finding a job. I found a job within a month after graduating, at a level 1 trauma center. I was not an aide or pct prior to becoming a nurse. I'm currently enrolled in a BSN program now. Do what works best for you. Good luck!!
