Hi I am an LPN who just got accepted to a LPN to RN bridge program. I am not at a loss, I just found out I am only eligible for $1000 from financial aid and with my credit I am not getting any loans. Does anyone know of Grant's or scholarships out there that may be helpful or any suggestions on paying for school?

How did you do???? I passed

UPDATE:.... I PASSED

I PASSED

LpNCubby I also took my test on the 4th. The wait is killing me I did get the good pop up 10 minutes after my test (just had to feed my curiosity) and again 2hrs later and so on and so on. But today 24 hrs later still the good pop up and tomorrow 48 hrs later we will see but good luck to you

Hi Everyone, I took my NCLEX yesterday May4, I was a nervous reck, shaking, dry mouth you name it I had it. but when I wen in surprisingly I was quite calm and the instructor said if you are nervous you don't seem like it with that smile on your face (didn't realize I was smiling) but anyway the test didn't seem that hard and I got cut off at 98 questions..... So I tried the PVT when I got to my car and I got the good pop up :) :) :) I also tried again this morning and again got the good pop up. So I am hoping that I can get my QR tomorrow. I am from Boston and I was also the last one in my class to take the exam so that is some added pressure. Wish me luck and Good luck to everyone else.

Hi how do you think you did. I finished in 2 hrs with 98 question and I got the good pop up.

Thank you for that information because I felt like crying this morning and I will probably cry in the car tomorrow. Thanks again

I take my nclex pn in 24hrs. I have studied, prayed and gave myself numerous pep talks but I am asking other to pray for me as well. Also any words of encouragement would be great to. I have a support system but just know I have this group has also helped me. Thank you.

Good luck. You got this

I am also taking it on May 4th, I did start out with VATI but I didn't like it (hope that wasn't a bad decision) I have been doing Saunders and Kaplan and I have the 35 page study guide. Good luck and I will pray for you. Please do the same for me because I am freaking out as well.

Ok I am having trouble with the SATA questions. I always either miss by 1 many or less. Does anyone have a great tip on how to answer these types of questions. I need all the help I can get.

I graduated 7/11/14 took some time off and had a little vacation to clear my head since my program was very intense. I was given ati tutor from school but not very helpful. I have Saunders and Kaplan but still not sure how to study. Studying for exams is very different. They say study what you feel is your weakest but that is not helping either. Any suggestions? I feel like I'm all over the place jumping from I one book to another

Thank you for the advice. I would love for you to forward the pdf to me. [email protected]

Thank you so much this really helps

My school has given me an ati tutor but im not sure the right way to study. Don't get me wrong I am reading the ati books in each module but I can't help but feel I'm still doing something wrong. Has anyone studied using ati and can offer tips

If your talking about the predictor we had to get at least a 78. It's ok I got an 86 you will do fine it's all the things throughout the program. Let me know how you did good luck.

Hi all, not sure if I am posting in the right section but I had my pinning last week and wanted to know if anyone can give advice on what meds I should know or lab values for the nclex. I am nervous but any help is really appreciated

Congrats, I graduate on 7/11/14. I know all about the sweat and tears but we did it. Good luck on the nclex

Fyi 98% on my case study. Thanks for all the tips

Hi I wanted to know if there is a PN study guide for the nclex exam I see people mention a 35 page study guide but I can't seem to find it can anyone help me.

I am also in a 3 semester program but I am in my last semester which is maternal/neonatal, pediatrics and geriatrics. My Medsurg was my 2nd semester. Im not going to lie or sugarcoat.....It is tough I cried a lot but I got through it. I did however get some supplemental books that has and still is helping me a lot. They are Med surg made incredibly easy, pediatric nursing made incredibly easy and maternal/neonatal made incredibly easy. These books breaks down the textbooks so much better it was a life saver. Good luck.

My School did give me a format but it is very basic and I thought that it should contain more but I could be wrong. Demographic Psychosocial Hx: role in fam, support system, length in facility, future plan and goals. Physical asses: head to toe asses, 3 problems or potential problem, at leat 2 interventions for each problem Functional asses: Spiritual asses: Nutritional asses: Erikson developmental stage: My pt is a 64 y/o female with a Hx of DM, Cirrhosis of the live(non alcohol), Ascites, CKD, Obesity depression, esophageal varices along with some other disorders. She is divorced, 3 children who all passed away. She is also retired. She is in a long term care facility for a little over a year but her goal is to get better and move into an assisted living facility. She is a Protestant who feels that God can heal her. She was also on a transplant list for a liver but was taken off 2 months ago for noncompliance.

I have to write a case study on a pt in my clinical site. I have the basic info but I need help putting it into a format and what info should go where, also it is about geriatric and I have to include Erikson. Can anyone give me some ideas or websites on how to set it up?

Thanks
