I took my NCLEX exam today (June 19, 2018 at 8am). I had 94 q's, a lot of SATA and Leadership q's. After receiving my email saying I completed the exam (about 30 mins later), I did the PVT trick. I got the "good pop up" but I'm so nervous! Will updat...

You'll do fine! PVT is a trick where, after taking your boards and receiving your email about you completing your test, you can try to re-register for the exam and if you get the screen that says you've already scheduled this exam or similar, then yo...

I used ATI, Saunders NCLEX Comprehensive, Kaplan's Prep Plus , and Lippincott's alternate format books. I followed the Picmonic 4 week study plan but I studied for 5 weeks.

I passed! Woohoo!

Crossing my fingers and praying we passed! Please update me when you find out!

I'm scheduled to take the NCLEX-RN in mid-June as well! Best of luck to all of us who haven't tested yet and congrats to all who have and passed!

í ½í¸‚Thanks! People always say I'm short winded and straight to the point. Living up to it still lol

Hello everyone! It has been awhile and I thought that maybe I should give an update. The job I was doing in my first post I am no longer doing. I was at first a second shift LPN in a long term wing of the facility I worked at. After about 6 months, ...

Hello everyone! It's been awhile so I want to give an update and reveal everything I've learned in my first 2 weeks as a nurse. So, last Friday (7/31) ended my second week of first shift orientation.... And I worked by myself! It was quite an experie...

Long story short, I took the NCLEX-PN on June 17th, got my quick results that I passed on June 19th, and my license number was up on SC LLR by 7:30AM on July 7th. Well today (July 9th), I decided to go visit a few places to find a job. With resume an...

And thanks to all you lovely nurses for the congratulations! They are greatly appreciated! í ½í¸Ší ½í¸Ší ½í¸Š

Hello ASPIRING2BGREAT! I apologize for the late reply! But, actually, she didn't even want my résumé! I was actually shocked. I had spent hours and days making sure my résumé was "perfect" and when I told her I had a copy she told me don't worry ...

Today was my first day at my new job! So far, I'm liking it. But I know it takes a few weeks of being shown the ropes to know exactly what all is in store. My preceptor is fun, funny, and very knowledgeable. Although I was hired to work 2nd (3-11), ...

Thank you sallyrnrrt! And thanks for the great advice. I can't express how many nurses have told me having a great relationship with my CNAs will make my job so much easier.that's one thing I have noticed about this facility. No matter what level of...

Thank you dianah! I'm going to try!

Take a break! I did before I took mine and it was well worth it. I feel like people who study up until the test mentally exhausts their brains. So not worth it.

Congrats!

New Nurse in South Carolina. Start Jul 20 and I'll be making 17.05/hr + shift differential {2nd shift} and weekend differential {every other weekend}.

Thanks You! May I ask what county? I'm in Darlington County.

Thank You! I need all the luck I can get!

Hi SchnauzerloverP! I honestly am not the best advice giver lol. All I can say is study hard and start job hunting immediately after graduation. I wanted to wait until I got my license number before I went hunting but in the interview I was asked whe...

Haven't gotten my first check yet but I plan on paying bills and getting new uniforms. With my externship, I did the same.

Thank you! The journey will be tedious but well worth it!

So I just took the NCLEX-PN and all I can do is cry! I only had 93 questions but there were so many drugs and priority questions, I doubt I passed! Those are the two subjects I struggled with the most and I studied them extra hard yet felt like I kne...

I just got my results and I PASSED!!! WOOHOO!!!!
