Cheers to you, :) I actually got hired on to an assisted living facility before I got my license. The good thing now is a pay raise. :)

Congrats all! I took my test this past Tuesday and I passed. Such a good feeling! I definitely went out and celebrated hard. And I think i'm going to celebrate again this weekend. Hahaha.

Yeah. I am working with an RN that said it took her a couple months to get her results. I would have died waiting that long. I'm a pretty impatient person and that wait would have absolutely drain me down. But thank you all for the congrats! I am happy to get this portion of my life going. :)

I honestly felt lost and confused. Through the whole test I felt like I was guessing the whole time. When my computer took me to the survey after question 150, I was absolutely nervous. I felt like I had just bombed the NCLEX and just went home to sleep. I woke up the next morning, got to work, and found out that I passed! Felt so RELIEVED.

Thank you! It was such a big weight off my shoulders. I can finally breathe now. Haha.

Alright. Thanks for that, makes me feel a lot better. I was just confused because my quick results aren't available yet but the BON website says I passed.

Hello all, I was just wondering how accurate the results are for the state board of nursing website. I live in MN and took my NCLEX-PN yesterday and when I went to the Minnesota State Board Of Nursing website this morning, it said "passed exam". I was pretty damn excited when I saw that. Is the state board of nursing website pretty accurate?

Good luck! I am finishing up my LPN program and my expected date to graduate is September 18th. I am very nervous and excited! You will do fine.. As long as you put in the work. Have fun!

I am currently working and doing my LPN program and a lot of my classmates are doing the same thing. It's definitely possible. I just suggest working part-time because you will need a lot of time for homework and studying.

Staying focused is the biggest, most important thing about nursing school in my opinion. It is just too easy to get distracted and become lazy. When I started my LPN program, I told myself that I will focus and sacrifice things to accomplish nursing school. I have sacrificed a lot of hours from work and a lot of time going out with friends. I am only 22 and trust me when I say, I love going out. Still trying to get pass that young, wild, and free phase. Hahaha. I think another important thing is to have a good balance with school and your everyday life. Goodluck, you'll do great! :)

I also had a hard time getting used to LTC facilities. I just found it to be very sad and a lot of the places that I went for my clinical were not very "suitable" for myself. But I think LTC facilities can teach us a lot. Being around these patients will help us sharpen our skills to become better nurses. I just think it takes a little time to get used to it. I'm almost done with my LPN degree and at first I didn't want to work at a LTC facility after graduating but now I think I wouldn't have a problem with it at all.

Goodluck! I remember my first day as well. I was quite a nerve wreck. Haha. But things will go fine. Just make sure to never slack as it can become a pain in the ass. Also, ask questions! I'm still working on the asking questions part myself.

I think that's about right. I go to a Minnesota school and anything below 78 percent is fail. We also have to average 78 percent or higher for our exams. I definitely was nervous about this when I started but I've been doing just fine. Just remember to never slack off and every point counts! They don't round up as well. So 77.9 percent is fail.. Goodluck! :)

This story is truly amazing. I am glad that you were able to hang in there and keep fighting. A lot of times people give up because it's hard but this story proves it all. Hardwork pays off! I am very happy for you. :)

I decided to go with the LPN route and so far, I'm enjoying it. I was brand new to the nursing thing and I think this was definitely the best route for myself. I know for sure that I will continue my education to get my BSN but I just want to take it a little step at a time. I think you should just go with whatever you're most comfortable with.
