I passed! I thankfully didnt have to wait the excruciating 48 hours because my BON posted my license already!

I took my NCLEX today! It shut off at 75 questions but I have no idea if I passed, man I hope I did 😬

I will respect that, and thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions.

It's actually an online class, and she specifically said email or phone a nurse. I don't know any nurses personally so this site has helped me connect with L&D nurses as that is the area I am interested in right now.

Your post made me laugh about why you didn't want to continue being in the army. Hearing from people like you who have been in the army nurse corps and that have had a positive experience really helps me decide about joining one day. Also, would you mind giving me your name, we have to put it on our interview post, unless you are not comfortable with that and I'll let my professor know. And you are definitely right when you said that it's the nurses that make or break the birthing experience for a mother, I was lucky enough that I had awesome nurses for both of my kids' births. I actually had my first in a civilian hospital but I had my second at Ft.Irwin and all the nurses who attended to me were awesome!

I just want to thank you both so much for answering! I just noticed but excuse all the typos! And lovemyjoblandd, so were you active duty in the army, or you still are? My husband is in the army :) . I've gotten so used to the army life that I am honestly considering joining once I get my BSN. I'm still working on prereqs and have a long way to go, but it's something that I really think about a lot. Again thank you both for helping me out, I appreciate it!

For my math for clinical calculations class, we are supposed to interview a nurse in the area that interests us right now, and for me it is L&D. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could answer these questions. What made you go into this area of nursing? We're you originally interested in another area of nursing ? Was it easy for you to get all the prerequisites done to get into nursing school? What was the hardest part of nursing school for you? Was the NCLEX really as hard as some people make it sound ? Did you pass the NCLEX the first time you took it? Do you have to convert medications from one unit to another often? And if you do, do you use dimensional analysis? What is your favorite part of your job? What do you least like about your job? Thank you so much to anyone who answers.
