Merry Christmas!!!

I'm so happy for you!!!! You will be so happy you did this! I always carry pens, a highlighter and a fine point sharpie in addition to my equipment. I got drug cards and a pocket lpn guide. Those helped tons!!!!!!! I'm happy to help you so don't hesitate to ask if you need any help!!!

Congrats on the decision to start the program! I just finished school and passed nclex the end of October. Here are some tips, hope they help! Get a planner. Write due dates and weekly schedules down. I found this helped way more than putting things in my phone. Start by familiarizing yourself with medical terminology. If you can dissect a word it really helps. Ask questions. Don't be shy about this! Instructors want you to succeed and are there to help! Study using both sides of your brain. Write it down but also draw pictures, diagrams, charts.....whatever helps you remember. I had a different notebook for each subject which helped a ton! You can do this! I am 39, have 2 children and worked through my lpn program. I kept a 4.0 and every sacrifice was totally worth it! I have a job I love and couldn't be happier! Best of luck!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tested yesterday & checked my board of nursing and saw my license number so I knew I passed. It is my understanding that it takes extra time if you had problems with the hand scan. I know several people that had this problem. I hope you get it resolved quickly! Waiting is agony!

Thank you! I had mostly select all that apply questions. It was nothing like I expected. I needed to know the information and how to apply it to the question. I answered most by process of elimination. Good luck to you!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!

Thank you! I'm currently a PCT at a wonderful hospital but I can't wait to find a job as a nurse!!!!!! To be honest, after school and studying for NCLEX I feel lost with no book in my hand lol!

You should be so very proud of yourself! I was just in your situation! Took my nclex yesterday and passed! You can do it! The feeling of accomplishment is like no other! Lpn school is HARD! Don't ever feel less than or let anyone else make you feel that way! You should be so proud!

Hello. I took my NCLEX PN yesterday and just found out I passed. I didn't spend money on a review. I started studying using the basics. I reviewed basic medical terminology and then moved on to nutrition and pharm. I did about 200 practice questions a day. I had tons of SATA questions. Several were prioritizing & delegating. Hope someone finds this info helpful! Good luck!

Good for you! Nursing school is very demanding so a longer program will also give you a sneak peek into what it's like. I'm sure you'll do great!!!!!!

Do you have a medical background at all? I am currently a PCT at a hospital and just finished up my PN program. I wouldn't recommend less than a two week course. You learn the basics and you learn so much on the job! Working in a hospital during nursing school was a tremendous help! Best of luck to you!!! ( :
