  5. Passed NCLEX in 75 and in 42 minutes

    anchorRN replied to yogafan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! The computer shutting off at 75 is an extremely good sign. It either means you've done extremely well, or extremely BAD (which is unlikely). I took the NCLEX back in 2003, so a bit...

    anchorRN replied to anchorRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    anchorRN replied to anchorRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks! i am considering Simmons but the Statistics requirement may be my downfall. I took it back in 1999 and got a C. Their website says to contact them if you don't meet that requirement, so...

    anchorRN replied to Deandanl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    anchorRN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello all, I'm continuing to research FNP programs for when I separate from the military. I contacted GU regarding their cost and if the GI Bill + Yellow Ribbon program would cover the costs. I will...

    anchorRN replied to jessmarih27's topic in Government, Military

    In the Navy traditionally you would enlist as a Hospital Corpsman (HM), work hard on pre-reqs, then apply for the MECP (Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program). This program is NOT limited to HM's...

    anchorRN replied to Juninho22's topic in Government, Military

  24. GI Bill and NP Program

    anchorRN replied to anchorRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To continue my current lifestyle i'd probably need to be making 80K at least. From what I read on the forums here that doesn't seem to be too unreasonable. And I do not desire to work OT. I'm...
