Good luck on your move! I live in Palm Bay, FL (just north of Sebastian) and have worked at both Palm Bay Hospital (smaller, community based hospital, where I am currently at PCU and very happy) and at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne (La...

hi candice! i don't know if you remember me, but we had a few conversations a few weeks back just before my test, now it's your turn! i hope i was able to give you some useful information before that you can now use! one thing i have said to my...

i was hired for my position before i actually graduated, and my recruiter said several times that she needed my att and my letter from the florida bon stating i was eligible to sit for nclex before i could start as a gn. they need this to ensure tha...

since i tested last thursday (the end of the work week), i knew i would pay for the quick results (i'm in florida, which is a quick resutls state). some nurses on my unit who tested at the beginning of the week found out through the florida bon webp...

took nclex-rn last week (9/7) and passed with 75

my quick results were available 48 hours after i finished the exam...to the minute! i finished at 10:10 and when i check 2 days later at 10am they weren't available, but they were at 10:10! good luck, take several deep breaths, and they will be the...

i am finally an rn!!!! :balloons: :balloons: i am so greatful to have access to the quick results, because my license number has not been posted yet on the fl bon webpage. my results became available exactly 48 hours after i completed my exam, to t...

i'm so sorry! :icon_hug: first of all, you are not stupid!!! this is not a difficult test for nothing! you are not alone! there are several reasons why thursday was not your day, the stress and anticipation alone are enough to make anyone fail! s...

from one heather rn to another, :welcome: and congratulations!! :balloons: :balloons: what a fantastic feeling, huh!? i just found out this morning that i also passed, and when i saw your post i had to stop and think "wow, did i change my username ...

hey koolvaguy, don't forget about us, we're all rooting for you!!!!! :smiley_aa ~heather

oh my gosh, you remembered my post about kaplan!!! thank you so much!!! i still had some doubts, but i was definately glad i had used that book! it's funny, i keep bursing out in spontaneous tears of relief and shock! i'm such a baby! :chuckle

congratulations fellow nurse :balloons: :balloons: we both tested on thursday and i've been hoping and praying that you passed too! i'm so glad your stress is finally behind you, and now you can look forward to beginning your practice as a nurse! ...

i also used saunders to review lab values. i agree with eric, not that i remember specifically which lab values, but the ones they gave me in questions on the nclex were definately either within normal limits, or signifcantly outside normal limits. ...

hey there vaguy we're both playing the waiting game now. i also tested yesterday, and this wait is worse than the wait to take the exam itself! i know it's too soon for the results to be there, but every few hours, i can't help but to log in "ju...

i made it through that ordeal...thanks to the help and support of this forum! it was just as bad as i expected (which was a good thing...no surprises! again, thanks to all of your helpful information!!) the people at the testing center (orlando, fl...

thanks lena! i've enjoyed reading everyone's postings that they have passed, hopefully i will be able to add some good news of my own very soon! i notice you're from ma, i am originally from ma (we moved to fl over 2 years ago for me to go to nursi...

wow, thanks eric, you respond fast! i was hoping no one would notice how scatterbrained i was before i found it for myself! thanks for your continued help and encouragement to all of us stressed out grads! ~heather

i found the information about the quick results, i'm sorry if it was a repetitive question, but i couldn't seem to find it for the life of me. i guess i just needed to go have lunch and approach the computer with a refreshed brain! i think i'm goin...

I am now patiently awaiting my ATT (just graduated Aug. 5th ). Naturally, all of my family were asking me when I expected to take the NCLEX :icon_roll , and I said hopefully in about 6 weeks, but that I thought perhaps it might be sooner, since I w...

i was just wondering for anyone who knows how kaplan scores...i'm not in the review class, i purchased the kaplan strategies book from barnes and noble. it included a 180 item practice test for the computer. i spent most of the afternoon taking it (s...

hi loubio i read through the kaplan book (remember, i'm not in the course, i only bought the strategies book at barnes and noble) and then i took the test that was on the cd-rom after. for the past 3 weeks, i was reviewing content from the saund...

thank you everyone for your feedback. i know that nothing is certain, especially in terms of the nclex. i continue to study and practice, but i was curious what kaplan recommended for their assessment tests. i've been trying to balance between pra...

hi everyone, this may sound like an odd question, but i've read that your 6hrs includes the computer tutorial before the exam begins. my question for those of you who have taken it is, did you need that tutorial/explanation or could you breeze th...

wow, thanks everyone for your input! i didn't realize the tutorial was on the pearson site! thanks! it was helpful to think of the tutorial as a moment to center and ground myself, so that was also very useful information! keep the input coming! ...
