Put RN behind my name

Congrats!

Congratulations!!!!!! That is so awesome!!:balloons:

:balloons: :chuckle Congrats on the RN behind your name. I am getting ready to take the test. I already have a job in a Florida Hospital, where I am suppose to start on the 20 of Feb. and the thing I worry about all the time is ooooooooohhhhhhhhh my God what if I fail the test and get demoted:imbar, not to mention that I am scared of starting at the hospital even though they seem to have a good preceptorship and trianing program. Any advice for me? :chair: also how long after u applied for the test did take for you to get your ATT.

It took about 10 days for my ATT to come but it was sent just before the holidays so I figure that that may have caused a little delay. Think positively about the NCLEX. It is not hard, it just makes you think. I tried to think with each question...what am I worried about happening in this situation and what message am I sending NCLEX lady if I pick this answer. I didn't really spend too much time reviewing books, I did practice questions from MEDSPub, Kaplan, and Saunders. Probably more Saunders than anything else. Almost everyone that I know has taken and passed the test in 75 questions. It took a few like 78, 107, 110. This thing is definitely do-able. Don't stress after the test because I made myself physically ill by worrying too much. You will do fine and I am thinking positive thoughts for you and sending good karma your way.

Congratulations and good luck in all that you do. :)

I've never posted here before but I have been reading posts for over a year. I want to say thanks to all of you who post here for providing the inspiration to make it through a BSN program and the NCLEX. I took my boards two days ago, got 75 questions with no alternative items, and (just like everyone else here) knew that I had failed for sure. My friend called at 5 a.m. this morning screaming that the Mississippi Board of Nursing had updated their licensure search. I cleared the cobwebs and started shaking as he entered my social (and I am a 6'1, 200 lb. grown man that's never been scared of anything). Sure enough there it was. He said put RN behind your name. Total relief, especially since I started orientation for a job in the OR of the local medical center. I could just see telling them, "Well, I didn't pass the boards, but can I still work as an Advanced Care Tech?" I've been acting a 3-year-old all day and am so happy that I can move on with life. I want offer good karma to everyone out there getting ready to take this pick the most lame answer out of four lame answers test. You can all do it.

Congratulations RT! You worked hard and deserve to be happy and proud. I don't blame you. I have already told my husband that I want a HUGE party after I graduate. My kids said they can't wait! Good luck with your new career endeavors. Kim

:stone :uhoh21: Thanks RT. I am fretting over my ATT. The nursing board recieved my app. on 1/12 and just waiting for the ATT is nerve wrecking. I started to review using the Lippencott review but just casually, once I get the ATT I'll get cracking. I pray everyday that I pass and then I pray that I'll be a good nurse. I feel sooooooooo not ready for real patients. I hope once I go through the preceptorship program I feel better prepared.
