Hello to all nurses ! I am new to this site and this is my first post. I just took my Licensing Exam Feb 16 ( two days ago) and computer shuts off at 85. i graduated more than a year ago and i just dont feel like i remember much. so right now , i am having this post traumatic feeling , waiting whether i passed or failed the exam. I have like at least 3 weeks to wait for the result ..but its all "COOL" I am just really PROUD being a vocational nurse and a part of this great nursing career!!! ( not to mention that i am a guy in my 20's.. and single... hahahha )

Haha cute post. Good luck on the wait but I am sure you did well. Just curious why did you wait so long to take the test?
MOMto2boys - I didn't take my examination right away cause i feel like i didnt learn anything in school.(i am one of the lucky ones who made it to the nursing program after all the elimination rounds) ..and not only that, i havent paid my room rents for like half a year already so i REALLY have to get a job to pay off some of the "dues" then i found this job that was really easy and pays really good so i was kinda stuck at my new job for like 10 months.. hehee then, I changed my mailing address for the application of my ATT, and the boards never mailed that application form for like 2 months.. actually, they didn't mail it not until i called them. LIFE SUCKS sometimes.. hahhaa.. :chuckle
here i am.. still agonizing.. waiting for the result. like most people say.. either i did really really good or really really bad , since I stopped at 85. :uhoh3:
btw, how long have you been working as a nurse?
Wow haha you did have a lot going on. Our school highly suggested that we take boards ASAP after graduating while everything was still fresh. I graduated in December and just took my boards on 02/08 & found out I passed on 02/09. I walked out of that testing center feeling like I was "the one" to bomb it at 85 but I passed.
I just got a job offer today for a Referral Coord. and has no hands on patient care but still requires a LVN license and I am going to try it out. I figure I can take whatever I learn here and only grow from it.

So, where r u at in calif? Good luck and God Bless
momto2boys.. so your computer stopped at 85 too??? right on!!! but good for you guys cause your state will give your result the next day.( jealousy comes into mind..hahha) meaning.. you did really really good... I can't wait to pass this "CALVARY aka NCLEX PN" . . well, i kinda preparing myself for the negative side..the "i think i failed" thoughts... my school too, recommends that we all should take the NCLEX sooner.. sooner the better.. one of my classmates took the exam one month after graduation and she passed.. (and she was the oldest in our class.. very very nice and smart woman) JOb offers? how cool is that.. no hands on patient care??? well. now you can grow your nails as long as you like... :roll
hello Idyrie! i am in RIVERSIDE/SAN BERNARDINO county... are you familiar about the place?
LOL nah I am not going to grow my nails out. I am looking into another job at a LTC. I hope I get the job. I will be a busy woman but I am eager to learn & work
I am SURE will you get the job! I salute you for your determination and spirit ...." eager to learn and work".
Thanks!! :wink2:

I will be finished with my LPN program after I take my finals on Wednesday. I, too, will be PROUD to be an LPN. Whether I actually decide to go for the RN remains to be seen, but I plan to be the best nurse I can be, and lend a helping hand to the RNs whenever possible! I'm totally afraid to take the boards, but, somehow, I will make it.
I don't think I learned much, either, in fact, pharmacology and nutrition scare the daylights out of me, because I had a horrible instructor. I am going to be on my own trying to figure out the drugs and food on my own, but I arranged for a person to tutor me privately, plan to read those review books like the law of the land, and pray for the very best.

CONGRATULATIONS PAGANDEVA2000!!!!! YOU WILL MAKE IT!!! You made it to nursing school , much more to the NCLEX.. MORE POWER TO YOU ! Take the NCLEX as soon as you can. the sooner the better! (2 months after graduation is ideal...my own opinion)
