WOOOHOOOO!!!!!! Yeah I've been celebrating!!! When I looked at the State Board website and saw my name verified as an RN it was incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wait - FUN - you'll see what it is like tomorrow!!! What a HUGE relief. I didn't pay...

After 25 questions I began to think that if the test went past 75 questions I would hang myself right there in that cubicle!!! Rely on what you have been taught! After reviewing, I now know I got 5 questions right!! woohoo!!!!! Hopefully that will...

OMG - what a test!!!!!!!!! Got tons of SATA in my 75 questions. I know for sure I got 1 question right. The rest of them - I have no idea!!!! Got there at 7:30 to check in and put my stuff in the locker. Went into the testing room at about 7:40 and b...

OK - it is 845 and I am DONE STUDYING for my NCLEX!!!!!!! Not that I feel like I should be done - but I AM DONE/FRIED!!!! I envy those who take the day off the day before their exam - that is not me! Pray for me tomorrow at 8 a.m. That will be the...

Just curious when everyone is testing? I test on Tuesday and I am FREAKING OUT!!! I have really only studied this past week - so if you guys are freaked out after doing all those questions then you can imagine how I feel!!!:eek: Please pray for me o...

Called the BON a few minutes ago - they don't have our stuff from El Hell Hole yet!! Imagine that! lol. Glad you guys are studying - I'm not. Shame on me!! I guess I'll start doing questions sometime soon. After that dreadful HESI my brain was/is ...

Amen, Mysterious One!!! Unbelievable that our average was a 76.?? after some of people got 4 points . Actually, our grades were out there for a short time and now they are gone. Now there is something that says "Technical Survey" (I think) instead ...

My recommendation as an El Centro Nursing program student - don't go there!! Maybe all nursing programs are the same as El Centro - with many incompetent and/or verbally abusive clinical teachers who yell at you and berate you in front of patients a...

Thanks Katie for the reading stuff!!!! At least we have something to start with now!!! Have a wonderful summer!

I am amazed - the same type drama at ECC for 2nd semester too!!!! After our final several people needed a few extra points - one even needed 5 or 6 points to pass. Guess what, it seems that everyone got enough points to pass!!! I've heard the scho...

I'm with you FUN - IT IS TIME TO PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because regardless of our scores we are going to 3rd semester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm on my way to a friend's house to have some serious margaritas, wine coolers, beer and whatever else we can find!!!...

Congrats Fun!!!!!!!! Doesn't it feel good to be finished - well for the most part! I know I will be studying for the HESI too but I'm not quite as stressed about that one! I don't know anything about the instructors on your list - I only know the h...

Hey guys - I'm going into 3rd semester and wanted to give info on 2nd semester stuff! To be real honest I don't think you can go wrong with anybody you pick for clinicals. In the one choice you go to 3 different hospitals - Med City for Pedi with Tra...

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On to 3rd semester!!!!!!!!!!!!! And while I am excited to move on I am VERY sad that some are not. Some only needed 1 or 2 more points on their final - and they may wind up getting them added since at least 2 of the ques...

I'm starting 2nd semester at ECC in the Nursing Program. It is a 2-year Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) RN program where at the end you take the same state board NCLEX-RN exam as a 4-year student (BSN) and will be issued (if you pass the test) your R...

Hi Fun!!! Hope you are having a GREAT time in FL!! I got Parkland too (but through ECC) as did MysteriousOne and SweetSil! So what is everyone doing - studying Pharm cards for next semester, reading ahead??? Me - I can't sleep - but I can't get mot...

Sorry my other post was so long! I just really do want to try to help all of you make it through - I also remember how I felt when 1st semester was about to start - NERVOUS AND SCARED TO DEATH!!!! I hope it helps a little to know someone who made ...

I just finished 1st semester at ECC so I found you guys on here and thought I would post!! About the "openings" - us going into 2nd semester question that too! We started 1st semester with 60 at ECC between the Pilot group and the regular ones. Now...

Hi "Lady db". Don't get discouraged - where there is a will there is a way!! My kids were very small when I began this journey - I had to do one or two classes at a time and did every one of them online except A&P I, II and Micro - I saved thos...

Hi everyone! I have been MIA for a few months due to this studying thing!! I'm a 1st semester ECC person - and OUR FINAL IS OVER - and I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!! Those 80 questions in 2 hours almost sent me over the edge! For the most part it was a happy...

Congrats to all who are in for Spring!! Jaxia keep your spirits up - and keep working forward. We have 2 girls who are in the program and taking Micro this semester. They are so stressed out with having to study for their Micro tests in addition t...

This Med check-off was very hard to prepare for!! We were all so frustrated because there did not seem to be a good way to do the whole check-off practice during open lab time. I'm not sure why - but practice during open lab was basically impossible...

Katie - Thanks so much for the info. I'm going to look for that book and hope that it helps my poor old brain!! Oh my goodness!!!!!! I think I may have finally crawled out of my hole in the sofa that I have made by hunkering down and doing nothing b...
