Letters can come from any nurse manager, physician, Nurses educator, but schools really like letters from your previous teachers. You have been out of school for a while so the nurse educator might be easier for you. As far as advice on your direction; I would say that has to do primarily on what your goals are. I would rather do the CNS because there are a ton of job opporitunities that will not require you to work directly for a medical group, or a physician. Leadership positions, educator roles, and so many others open up with CNS. Plus you can get a job that you will not have to be at work on holidays, weekends, ETC. Go to work, do your job, go home. No dictation, no drama with insurance companies, reimburments, worrying about your patients.... did I miss anything??? For me I would do CNS, for you... Depends on your goals.The jobs are so different.

So I went to a very well known school that shall remain nameless for now. Basically I passed my nclex at 208 questions PRAISE THE LORD for that, but 48 of 60 students in my class failed the nclex. That is right 48 of 60 students... So what does that mean for my school???

SO DID I!!! so funny!

LOL! Bloomgirl killed it! On the flip side... I waited over three weeks! Talk about drama!!!

I find BrandonLPNs comment to be gender discriminant, and clearly this man has no education of merit. First of all, Nursing is not considered a field of "less than" professionals or effeminate. Registered Nurses are in one of the most trusted professions in the USA. We come from a legacy of critical thinkers, independent practioners, and scientific innovators. I graduated with a BS from ASU in pre-law; I saw plenty of men in very high positions throw things, cry from anger or frustration and police officers weeping and sobbing in court due to bad verdicts! I am now in the hospital and see male doctors crying with patients due to sadness, frustration ECT. And I am sure they are not considered "less than professional" or of having traits of women. Crying does not put someone at a level of unprofessional and validates no type of disrespect. It simply means that someone is human, as it is a human response. After all that is simple biology, basic anatomy, and basic physiology. This person should be ashamed of their uneducated comment. I pray he will be humbled someday very soon. The respondsibilty of his job, no doubt does not compare to yours.

Hi guys Exhausted student here LOL! I took my NCLEX June 10th and have not received my results Yet! PVT says good pop up, but Im not sure if I passed because I took like 208 qs.... uuug 3 weeks of the unknown! I start my job July 8th and if my results are not up by July 3rd I obviously will lose the job I was given the number to the supervisor at the BRN and left him a message but it was after hours. I am gonig to follow up with him tomorrow morning but I am unsure of what exactly if anything he will be able to do for me! Any advice??? PLEASE HELP ME! and thank you so much in advance for your time!

The best advice is going to be to stick it out. An old lady I work with just went back and got her NP in the last two years. At the start of her program all the girls gave her a really hard time because she was in her 70s and having a hard time studying, remembering, and making friends. But with the help and support of family and co-workers she is finished now. Most programs are going to be 2 years. Anyone can do two years. Nursing is worth it because you can only go up from here. Sure your placement sucks, and youre stressed and tired, but you will have a career in less than 24 months. You will probably lose your "friends". I once was told you know you are doing well when your "freinds" and personal life are no longer a part of your routine. The truth is your friends are going to be slightly envious because they want to be there where you are. If you are truely 19 in an RN or LVN program STAY THERE! You will only have a rewarding career at 21!!! Buy a house, buy cars, ECT. the sky is the limit for you. Do not be held back by distractions!!! Good luck and remember your clinic expirience is what you make of it; meaning, have fun there, volunteer to do everything, when someone is rude to you smile at them and kill em with kindness. You will be victorius in the end. You get to move on their rooty poo behind will stay there!

First of all.... Crying is a natural human response so do not ever feel ashamed because you were crying. I am so sorry that it happened to you. I have cried a few times. The first was when my dog died and I was working as an LVN for a very old burnt out hag and she chewed me out over something stupid and I couldn't put on the show! I just literally broke down and told her where to go. I transfered units shortly after, but it happens. Most of the time we compose ourselves but we are fragile at times and our jobs contribute to the fagility at times. I wish you the best, and do not be ashamed. Be proud of who you are, what you represent and remember you are not perfect.... just close to it! LOL!

Hi thank you for responding. They said they are waiting on transcripts... that were sent June 11. I even overnighted them just Weds. This is horrible!

Thanks RN! :-) I iwll let you know! Keep me in prayer please! My new job starts on the 8th and if I dont have my RN by the 3rd I no longer have the job

I am seriously dying! I took this stupid NCLEX on the 10th today is the 28th and I do not have my results!!! I am doing the PVT and I get the good pop up but I do not know when I will get my results! When does the CA BRN update their website? Is it around midnight?

congratulations! God is good! I took my test June 10 and still have not received my results because my school lagged on the transcripts! So horrible! I am dying, but I am happy to hear your story because I have been doubting the PVT.

Hey guys, So apparently the CA BRN is slow with Nursys too! I have tried everything. This is so awful! Iam afraid I failed miserably!

I just did the same thing today! I overnighted my transcripts! The CA BRN is out of control!

BOMB! Im going to print this out and carry it with me :) Thanks!

Hi there! Thank you, but unfortunately CA BRN does not participate in quick results. lame huh? I have been pretty constant with the PVT and it doesnt let me, but I still have that fear you know?

Hi there!! I did, and nothing!! they have no posted and I am at the end of my rope! Its almost been three weeks!

My friend told me that Nursys is more accommodating for those of us suffering with no result. She told me they update their system before the state boards but it has been close to three weeks and I still do not have results from either. I overnight-ed my transcripts today for tomorrow to the California BRN when do you suspect I will be viewing my name on that crazy BON.

I am curious if anyone has every thought they passed they NCLEX or heard of anyone getting that special little pop up that fills our hearts with NCLEX never again joy and it turned out to be wrong. Basically; I keep getting that pop up however I have no results and it has been close to three weeks. I get the good pop up but I am still worried I failed?

Okay so here is the scoop! I took my NCLEX RN on June 10th, today is June 26th and I have not received a for sure yes you passed or better luck next time... you failed! This is crazy!!! I am freaking out!!! I called the BRN and they said they are waiting on my transcripts that were sent already!!! I took the initiative to overnight my transcripts with a signature verification to make sure they get them. They are to be delivered tomorrow before noon!!! Does anyone know when I will get results if I overnight them with verification signature??? Thank you in advance!!! I just need my results because I start an RN position on July 8th which is less than two weeks away!!

California does not participate in quick results grrrr I took my test eleven days ago and am not on the BRN yet. I feel like I failed because I took so many questions but I cannot re-register for the test and get the good pop-up on PV. When I called they said that my results wont be released until they receive my transcripts. MY Transcripts were sent in over four weeks ago. I ordered a second set ten days ago. California BRN is sadly slow.

So the time has been ticking since I took my nclex with... no results!!! This is horrible! I am trying the pearson vue trick daily, and obsessively and I am getting the "good" pop up. However, I took 200 questions! I do not feel like I passed! So my question to you is; has anyone ever had the "good" pop up and still failed? How accurate is the peatson vue trick? Thanks in advance for entertaining my stress level which is through the roof!!

thats great for her however, that route is going to be tough, and unfortunately not one most people have time for.

Hi there!! I was looking into the RN-MSN with WGU as well; however, they do not offer you a GPA to transfer your MSN to another school. So, lets say you do your MSN with WGU and want to do a post masters at ASU because its cheaper. the problem is they wont accept it. :-( If your goal is an MSN I suggest going for it, but at an accredited school that will offer you the ability to transfer with a GPA. GCU has an RN to MSN program and a FNP program. It's accredited and affordable but I have heard it is "easy As" and people aren't learning anything. I am going to start the GCU RN-MSN program next month. Like you I have been an LVN for a long time. I have a two year degree, and a BS in a related feild but not nursing. Maybe we can buddy up and help each other through the GCU msn program. It is approximately 14-18 months long.

I took 208 and still have heard nothing after ten days! I still feel sick! uuuug I hate NCLEX I feel so discouraged! I get the good pop up too so here is to being hopeful with you!
