Hi guys, I sent my application via mail around the 3rd or 4th week of September. It looked like they cashed my check around the second week of October. All forms were sent and live scan was completed a week prior to sending the application. I attempted to search my name under the verification form and nothing has popped up. I registered on the BreEZe page and under the application statues it says "pending" and when I open it up it states submission date of 10/12/2016 and"MISSING EDUCATION HISTORY". I paid parchment for transcript and it was mailed out on September 26th. I've been going back and reading the forum but I wanted to clarify does this mean that they possibly might have not recieved the transcripts? I looked online and they said they are processing from September 16-30. Since my submission date says 10/12/2016 does that mean they haven't started processing it yet since my submission date was on October. I am stressing out because of all the horrible stories I have read on this forum. Thanks

Hello everyone, Congrats on being accepted to the progam. I was curious can anyone tell me roughly how much from start to finish is tution. I recenty got accepted to GCU and got a rough estimate for the MSN- ACNP program. I am planning on starting the program and planning on transferring to U of A if accepted. The only thing im worried about it total tution and i can not seem to find any quotes anywhere. If anyone can give me some insight on tuition I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

I agree with what others have said!! Make sure you read each rationale whether you got the answers right or wrong. Do Qbanks everyday and so about 150 per day aiming for 60-65% each time. Don't be discouraged your doing fine!!

Hi everyone, Hi recently graduated not to long ago and passed my NCLEX last month. I was fortunate enough to have 2 separate offers for the Banner New grad and Abrazo New grad program. Anyone have previous expereince from these programs. I would apperciate any feedback. Thank you

During nursing school i wore Nike running shoes. I can be bias because I use to work for nike as well but runners from nike are very comfy.

There were only 2 out of 25 people who were males in my cohort. But the new classes entering Chamberlain College of Nursing i believe the ratio has increased to 1:6 male to females.

Hi, I recently graduated from a BSN program took my NCLEX last month and passed!!! Recently got offered a new grad position with a hospital and i'm going to be in Med-Surg. Not going to lie i am kinda of nervous just because i will be responsible for my own patients. I feel like since i finished school (end of August) to now it feels like I "brain dumped" and don't feel competent. I don't know if its the nerves taking over but i'm nervous. Hopefully this feeling goes away once I start the new grad program. Any advice or wisdom for a new grad. going into the nursing profession? Thank you, Nervous Wreck

I took my exam on the 10th of October. After completing 75 questions in an hour and 45 minutes I attempted the PVT and found out the next day I passed the boards!! This is my short little story on what I did to get myself ready for this nerve wrecking exam! In nursing school I had to attempt the Exit HESI 3X until I passed it and not wanting to have that same feeling of failing an important exam once again I decided to dedicate my time towards the NCLEX!! Once I was through with school I decided to buy the Saunders comprehensive 5th edition, enroll in KAPLAN (or buy the book) and use lacharity from a previous class as my main study tools. I also used the study guide floating around allnurses during this time. After completing the KAPLAN course I gave myself 3 weeks to take the exam. During this time I completed all Qtrainers averaging between 46-52%. And completed 150 Qbank questions per day. At the end of using KAPLAN I completed only 50 percent of Qbank questions averaging 56-60% on each test. Whether I got the answer right or wrong I wanted to read the rationales of each answer to get a better understanding my I got the question right or wrong. During this time I also set a 3 week Schedule to read and complete Saunders questions from the end if each chapters. I read about 5 chapters a day and completed about 75-100 questions per day from the Saunders book. This book is amazing and great for content review. Four days before I was to take my exam I decided to close my books and use the study guides to study. I continued to use the study guide three days before my exam as well as using KAPLAN Qtrainers. Two days before my exam I decided to relax not look at any material and hit the gym and watch tv afterwards. It is important to relax the day before your exam so you have a fresh mind when entering the testing center. Before I went to sit for my exam I competed about 1500 questions and knew my weakness. I studied hard and kept in control of future by not stressing out during my exam! I used my scented therapeutic lotions before my exam to relax me! Learn to breath and think positive during the exam! Once you think negative you will go down hill from there! Stay positive and once day you will pass and be called a RN.

Thank you!! I found out that I passed today and my license appeared earlier this morning. Yes 75 questions I was not expecting it but I will take it.. Lol you will do great just relax and breath!! I know it easier said than done but make sure you just relax and take a few minutes to calm down before you start answering questions. I did not memorize any medications. Group the medications together and now the suffix and what to expect with the medications after administering. Remember Maslow and ABC's. Assess unless patient is in distress!!! You will do great I will be thinking about you and you have my prayers!! Good luck and keep me posted!!!

Hey everyone so I did take the exam yesterday. After I left the exam I did not know what to think about that exam. From what I can remember i had about 7-8 SATA, a lot of medication questions, 5 math questions and the remaining delegation and priority questions. An hour and 45 minutes later the exam stopped at 75 questions and was not expecting it at all. After the exam we were going to drive to California from Arizona and I wanted to wait until we get there to do the PVT. Couldn't help myself and decided to attempt the PVT an hour after the exam. The pop up appeared as follows "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time". So i'm hoping and praying the results are accurate.

Thank you for the information!! Alot of people say that anxiety is what gets them when taking this test. Breathing, focusing and taking your time will be the key to passing this exam.

Thank you!!!! Big day is tomorrow!!! I will do the same when it comes for your test!

Thanks for the words of encouragement Miniangel2 and bkshadow!!! Keep me in your prayers!!!
