Hi! Yes! C’s get degrees ?...don’t be discouraged, those test are challenging!! Push forth! To be completely honest, I’ve only applied to 1 other job ...I was fortunate to be able to obtain an RN position at the job I was working at as an LPN...so that transition wasn’t hard. As far as the other I’m still waiting to hear back. I’m going to wait about a month before applying to different places including hospitals, also I’ve only been licensed about a month anyway so I may not be the best candidate to ask...this prob doesn’t help at all, lol, just wanted to respond...good luck in your studies!

Hi!!! Thank you thank you!!! That was a long hard journey! Proud to say I’m an RN now ?. My biggest tip is do not I repeat do not go if you’re not ready...this isn’t something you can just “wing”. You’re doing right by practicing your labs first...once you get those down pact move on to your AOC, after that hone in on your documentation. The instructors like to see that you know your stuff...be confident when you get there. Mnemonics saved my life when I was there...if they work for you, use them. Make sure you set up a mock med station and mock patient. Try to make your practicing as real as possible...print out all the sample documentation and use it when you’re practicing so you can be familiar with it Day of ie. MAR, care plan, Fluid management flow sheet...trust me, it helps!!! Also schedule faculty calls!!! Just review what you’re doing with them...review documentation , careplans...that was a huge help too!!! Work hard, be confident, and trust yourself. Hope this helps ❤️

Congratulations on your success !!! I know its hard work. You rock! Lynnette, Graduate Nurse

Hello All!!! I finally passed the CPNE ( hooray!) I passed all PCS's and labs with no repeats Lynnette

So I took the plunge, took the test and passed with a B! Thanks every one for your help!

@leedeedee thank you! I saw a few videos from them before and they were great! Perhaps I'lol give them another shot

Great so you did utilize that practice tests cool. I will def check that website out as well...thank you so much! And congrats on your successes.

That's great! So you went on to finish? I'm in the process of studying again now...I'm using some of study guide 101 and some YouTube videos..the lady is reviewing the book that's required to read...question..when you bought the test a second time were you able to purchase the practice test again? Did you use YW practice tests at all?

Hi guys! So a couple months back I took that A&P 1 exam and failed it! I took the test very hastily after not studying much...I was trying to make the deadline. So I've been studying for a couple months, but now I'm afraid to take it again! I bought the practice test before so I can't buy it again. I have no way of testing my knowledge so I'm so afraid to fail again...I'll have to wait 90 days to retake it if I do! But I also want to start moving forward with the nursing courses ugh! Any advice? Or resources? Thanks in advance!

Lol who will accept me?

What is it?

Is anyone having trouble with the titers? I was doing some research and found LabReqs..anybody ever heard of it?

Thanks a million!

Do you think the date is the same for all nursing students for fall 2016?
