I'd advise you to do some research, if you are already working in the field be sure that the lack of NLN accreditation won't hinder you in any way. If it will, choose a different school.

If you need to push it back, push it back. I agree confidence and a positive attitude are essential. Taking the test, there was so much I felt I didn't know, or that I knew but the answer wasn't there. I was confident that even if I didn't know the answer I knew HOW to answer NCLEX style questions. Maslow safety/ABC. Narrow down to 2 answers, pick the best/worst one depending on the question. Look for similarities in the question and answers... The test is HARD no doubt, you have to be ready, so don't feel like a loser. Good luck! I will pray for you !

I will be praying, good luck. Just be positive, take your time and think Safety, ABC. Let us know how you did!

Fortis in springboro is accredited I think... I just check the NLNAC website now. I'd suggest the same to anyone, forget checking the Approved schools, bc it means nothing if they never get the accreditation. No not yet, I'm still hoping for a miracle at the hospitals, but if not I have some other options in some ltc facilities, but those are part time.

I graduated the PN program here, I actually had no complaints. But, I do/Did find it EXTREMELY frustrating, that they were not forthright about the NLN accreditation. That email they sent was bogus. I sent a reply to John Hondros with all the research I did on the subject matter. I have family at both UC and Children's, IN HR, where they have LPN positions open, and they can't even look at my application because of the lack of that accreditation. There may be some loopholes but, I'd advise against attending ANY school without it, bc it simply limits your options. But I do feel I learned a lot there and I am well prepared for the workforce

We did Hesi, that was a part of passing that class as well. I did tons of questions a day. I mean I always studied. I woke up at 8, cleaned my room fed youngest read to him. Studying by 11 (questions and review books) put my son to nap at 1 or 2, studied til 4 or 5, dinner. The evening was family time. I graduated 6/15 took my test 7/28 so not too bad. My friends who graduated in April only waited 3 weeks. I think summer just takes longer.

Congrats!!!!?

I'll pray for you. I don't know how you made it without studying lol, I studied even an hour the day of. But really, just stay positive, narrow down to 2 answers and pick the best one. Good luck!

I get 80's and up, BUT... We had to do that As a requirement to graduate from my school. So I've done about all of the questions including the test bank ones, we had a class our last term dedicated to those tests and Saunders and Silvestri. So I just continued until I took my exam

I took my test yesterday, no official results yet, but I did get the "good" pop up. I think NCSBN questions were pretty close to NCLEX. I also did Saunders and Silvestri. I think the most helpful thing though is learning how to answer the questions using the Maslow/ABC rule. There were so many things I felt I didn't know, but I kept reminding myself that I'm competent enough to be a nurse. What is the best/worst thing that could happen is a good way to answer questions too.

Yay! I got the "good" pop up! Can't wait to see my license up on the state board website! Thanks guys!

I took my NCLEX today, I finishe at 5:43pm... how long should I wait to try the PVT?
