let me start off by saying i JUST graduated in june :icon_roll and i JUST got my license this month. i really dont want to work in a nursing home:nono:. and i am starting rn school in september. where would be a good place to apply? i live in tx. i just didnt know if anyone had any advice for a new nurse continuing her education. thanks in advance

yes i got my license number today :)

well the journey has ended finally:redbeathe. i had a hard time and i am happy to report that i passed my nclex first try:w00t: it stopped at like 80 questions. so i thought i would share my journey with yall and it might help other ppl. i guess i should say i am a lvn/lpn:nurse: i am 24 hapily married with a 4 year old. i work 40 plus hours in a factory that was not willing at times to help me work at a completly diff career haha. but i did it. i studied during my breaks and lunch. i went to school right after work and sat there for 5 hrs. on days i didnt have school i studied until 11 or 12 at night only to get up at 530 to get ready for work. I practiced nclex question after nclex question:bluecry1:. i have the saunders comprehensive review nclex-pn examinaton book, exam cram, and all the questions they gave us in the books. i also made care plans to study for all the diff diseases we went over. this is also a website that really helped me. i was on this website for 5 days before my test: http://nursing.slcc.edu/nclexrn3500/mainMenu.do;jsessionid=C1BB2282BEA0C3461FE179C4DC4C40F2 so the day i went in i was so nervous!!! i dont think there is any way not to be nervous.and i had no idea about those questions i think you should eat even though it was tough i forced down half my oatmeal:scrying: and my stomach wouldnt stop growling. so distracting go over as many questions 10, 50, 100 you can, i would do 10 every time i got a moment, and read the rationals i think that helped even to know why i got it right. i did one test the morning before my test and the rest of the day i relaxed (as much as i could) you really need to. and just be confident:bow: you made it this far trust in your first answer! any more questions i will be happy to answer them:loveya:

yes and no it was kind of emotional and crazy we will see if i passed or not. good luck to you whenyou take it. just breathe you know it or you wouldnt have made it to this point we just take your time:yelclap:

i really took it easy on sunday. i did take one more practice test which i did well on and went over some pharm. the exam wasnot as bad as i thought it would be i was really nervous though. i just cannot believe i am finished with this chapter i am hopefully going back to school in sept. haha thanks i hope that is the case with me congrats on yours to
