I just thought I would update, my license number posted on Thursday which was exactly 2 weeks after I got my quick results.

I was told 3 weeks also, probably by the same very annoyed guy you talked to. I started orientation for my job today and I need to have a license before I can work on the floor. SO AGGRAVATING!

Oh duh. I read your post again and saw you're in CA. That's some crappy luck But the rest of what I said still applies!

Forget about how many SATAs you had. My friend and I both passed in 75 questions, she had 5 SATA and I didn't count them but I can guess that I had somewhere around 15. I am convinced that SATA does NOT necessarily indicate that the question is "abov...

A friend of mine just found out she passed a couple of days ago. She had 75 questions and only 5 were SATA. I really don't think the types of questions matter as much as everyone seems to assume they do. Do you have quick results in your state? Keep ...

I didn't use Kaplan, but I loved Uworld. I used it almost exclusively to study and I passed in 75 questions.

I PASSED! The PVT worked for me. So relieved to have a definitive answer! Congrats to everyone!!

I took mine on 7/5 at 2 PM. I had 75 questions, didn't count SATA but 15-20 would be my guess and I've been getting the good pop up. So now I'm compulsively refreshing the Pearson quick results page and cursing myself for not taking an 8 AM slot. He...

You can still apply to the Chem 1 class, the requirement is Concepts of Chemistry or higher. It won't make a difference for the CC programs but it could be beneficial if you are applying to other schools or hope to continue on to an RN to BSN, as so...

I'm graduating with my ASN in May and I'm starting to look into BSN programs. I spent an hour on the phone with Sacred Heart today discussing their online RN to BSN to MSN program and it all sounded great until I heard the cost. I knew it was going t...

Congrats to everyone accepted! I know that last year NCC took 35 people off their waitlist which from what I've heard is not uncommon.

It was my class that found out after Easter last year. It was kind of on the late side, April 21st. If you're accepted you're guaranteed a spot, so registering late isn't an issue at all, although I would suggest if you have any co requisites to comp...

We found out on April 21st last year, right after Easter.

There are no weekend clinicals. Last semester we had lecture two days a week from 8:30-10:30 and clinicals 7:00-1:00 also two days a week. One clinical group had a 12 hour shift once a week. There are evening clinicals but not as many slots available...

Great stats everyone! I'm in my second semester at NCC, if you have any questions let me know :)

I've read through last year's version of this thread 100 times, so I thought I'd start a new one. I'm planning to apply for NCC's 2014 program. I'm taking A&P I right now (A- midterm grade, hoping to make that an A!) and will need to do the sof...

I just finished my first semester of nursing school and took Micro along with Fundamentals. I can't lie to you, it was really difficult. Are you generally a good test taker? I'm very good at memorization and didn't have a huge problem with that as...

Apologizing in advance for the lengthy post. I'm a first semester student and I have been assigned a flow sheet from ATI as a final project. I've already done a complete chart/care plan for this patient but for this project I need to condense it to...

I'm not even done with my first semester yet (2 more weeks) and I feel this way. I've had more opportunities to practice skills in clinical than some of my classmates have, which I'm thankful for, but I still don't think I've learned very much at al...

When I went to visit my grandparents last summer, I was asking them about how they met and they told me they were set up on a blind date 67 years ago. I said to my grandpa, "Well I guess the date went well" and he said "Of course it went well, look ...

I've read through a lot of "nervous about clinicals" posts here and there was a lot of good advice, but I feel like I have a good reason to be freaked out. I've been in lab for 6 weeks and am starting on a medical floor at the hospital on Friday. My...

Just wanted to thank you all for your words of encouragement, they really helped to calm me down. My first day was great! I gave my first sub q injection and removed a med lock and it actually felt pretty natural. I really liked being on the floor...

Yup, what you're going through is totally normal. Like previous posters, I found the nervous system to be the most difficult to learn. I also found that I was a lot more stressed out during my prereqs because of the pressure to get A's to assure a s...

I've only been using it for a month so I can't speak to the longevity of it, but I have this R.A. Bock scope: http://www.amazon.com/Bock-Cardiology-Dual-Head-Stethoscope-Chestpiece/dp/B000W22Z5Y It's supposed to be a close copy of the Littman Cardiol...

Oh man, and I thought I was a perfectionist! I'm usually disappointed in anything under a 92 or so but now that I'm in the program I'm trying to lower my expectations. Disappointed with anything less than 100? You are expecting yourself to be LITER...
