Vocational/practical Nurse And Very Proud!!!!!

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

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. :uhoh3: 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. :o 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 )

hello idyrie! i am in riverside/san bernardino county... are you familiar about the place?

i just moved from orange county to tampa, fl area. congrats on your exam, i'm sure you did just fine. :roll

i hope to be starting lpn school here very soon - i was set-up to start a direct entry msn program in pomona back in 2004, then found out i was pregnant, so had to drop my place in line. now that the rugrat is one, i'm ready to start again. but i'm not able to find any direct entry programs here near tampa. :( so i'll start from scratch and work my way up!

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)

Yes, I plan to take it in 2 months. As soon as the school sends in my papers, I will make arrangements. My goal is to do it by the end of April, because our grades will be posted March 1st. Wish me luck. Any study hints? I am still horrible in pharmacology, so, any bit I can get from there in terms of how to group them would be great!!

Thanks for the sweet words!

CONGRATS TO ALL

I am proud of the work that you all have put into yur new status..i have been a lpn for 25 years but i never advise anyone to go to lpn school because i believe that the differance in the schooling and the differance in work opportunities really are not comparable

the pharm classes are really important you really need to know your med and the interactions

Study Hints? hmmm.. lol. umm.. i dont think if i am the right person who will give you any advice or hints about studying.. i am the kind of person who like to do things "LATER". I took the NCLEX with only 1,000 or less questions read. I didnt even study all the system. Honestly, I only studied Cardio then practiced around 1,000 questions or less. I was scheduled to take my exam at 9 am.. i went to bed like around 3 am. i tried reading 100 plus questions from the REspiratory system since ive never read the system! then woke up at 6 am.. so i had around 3 hours of sleep..haha. believe me,, i was yawning the whole time i was taking the NCLEX.. LOL.. that's why, i dont feel like i passed that NCLEX. i always tell my friends that theres like only 40 percent of me passing the NCLEX. Ive wasted soo much time by not reading and studying.. :o:o:o:uhoh3::o:eek:

- some tips i know..

- Study when you are MOST awake .. no matter what time it is

- Study for 2-3 hours straight then, have a break in between study hours

hi guys, i also live in california. just took my NCLEX-LVN on 2/16 and am nervously awaiting my results. Felt like i failed too along with two of my friends even though I was an A student in school. California makes you wait up to 4 weeks (cruel). I am about to lose my mind. Afraid to open get the mail and not get the mail!!! Mine cut off at 85? This is nervewracking!!!:nurse: :nurse: :nurse: (hopefully - please Lord)
