In need of advice Please. I moved to Florida a few years ago, got a dui, finished LPN to RN program, applied for boards and received a letter stating that my application would need to be reviewed by the BON. The board approved me taking the nclexRN ...

I received authorization to test!

I did speak with their monitoring program. She told me that my application would have to be reviewed first. This is scary. I don't have a problem with doing the monitoring program as long as I can be an RN.

The new state does have some kind of a monitoring program. No, I did not sign an IPN contract. They have not sent it yet.

Have they changed something?

Thanks Medic. Working on documentation today:-)

Guess I was just hoping that something had changed, that they are changing the exam to become somewhat more reasonable...yeah right!

So awesome! Congrats:-)

BerryHappy did u do anything to prepare/study for the nclex?

Good luck to all of you!!!

Thanks Medic. How did u know when u were ready?

I was afraid of that. I think I have careplans down but not so sure about the rationales.

Medic and Nalon, did you both use Rob's suggestion for your rationales? ____is a physiological need, without ____it may interfere with his/her ability to perform adls, progress towards healing and pt's participation in treatment plan. He stated that ...

Great, thanks for the info!

What did u use for studying careplans? I didn't think Rob went into them too much. Did you just memorize his documentation samples for narrative notes? CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! :-D

Great job carlacec! Do u have a journal to share? Any advise?

LYNDAA do u have a cpne journal?

Lol LYNDAA!

Thanku! I have been studying for almost 3 months. I've used Robs guide, Sheri Taylor's online workshop, excelsiors flashcards, study guide, and their work book and video package...I'm still not ready:( There is so much to know for this exam!

Congrats on passing the cpne! Did you only use Robs study guide?

I purchased his discs. Didn't realize he had something on his site. Thanu

Good job!

I'm sure there has been MANY students who thought they were reafy and still did not pass the cpne. How do you know when you are really ready?
