Stay possitive and don't let others dictate to you what nursing SHOULD mean to you. It's a wonderful profession, and yes very honorable. On the day that you stop feeling that way...it's time for a new career. I wouldn't let my loved ones be cared for by anything (anyone) less.

EMESIS BASIN TO my house, STAT! I guess it all goes back to the old addage: you get out of something, what you put into it. I worked like a dog on my clinicals. All the RN's came to love me, and most of my classmates. Our school did have a great reputation. Now, I do basically the same hard work and get PAID for it, and dont sweat nearly as much. I just worry about my pt's now, not my very tough instructors.

this is exactly how I feel. No math questions, no procedures, very little lab stuff. And yes, I studied with Saunders and the only thing that helped somewhat was some of the "stradegy" stuff. not one of the 90 questions was a "common sense" question". You know how in school you're taking a test and you get those confidence building questions that you just breeze through? None of those. Mind you, I was at the top of my graduating class. I have no idea how others who didn't do as well in school, will do on the NCLEX. : still freaking out in SF....

I have been asked to interview for a clinic job at the university hospital here. according to their website, the LVN pay ranges from about 21-35 bucks per hour. starting. Mind you, this is SF. The have a rather impressive bennie package as well.

I took mine today as well. I am also a mess. Mine turned off at 90 questions and I almost fainted. I feel like I didnt get NEARLY enough questions asked of me. I mean there were no easy or basic or common sense questions! Fingernails? What fingernails....
