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 )
hi son, well we got snow this weekend and now the builders are tearing my house apart as we somehow got owls living in the rafters in the ceilings so had to move my 21 year old out of her room and they have taken down the walls in her room, tomorrow the garage gets partially destroyed, what a mess. major health hazard so they have had the environmental agency out here too. okay go to the website NCSBN.org and you will see a learning extension, click on that and you can subscribe for three weeks or longer (3 weeks was $49). it goes through your entire nursing program, pharmacology, gives you a couple thousand questions (tests). there is an initial test you do to see where you are at. it will take you 80 hrs. to go through the whole program. but out of all the things i studied (Delmars, Mosby's, essentials of pharmacology) i would say that program helped most. it was the closest to the NCLEX. also NCSBN writes the NCLEX exam so that's why i think it is a good source. two of my friends and i used it and we all passed. so i think it will help you too. you can go to whatever system you need to study and then take the quizes afterwards. they are hard like the NCLEX. other than that, just know your priorities ABCs and review cultural in your books. i will help you any way i can, just let me know. you are going to pass next time. i am praying for you and so is my dad. i told him about you. my interview at the hospital is tomorrow, will let you know how it goes. take care.

hello mom! how did your interview go? i hope it went great. good to hear that you got some snow last week end. we had some snow last week end too(but not much) and saturday was just really really cold. i bet your house will look brand new once the renovation is done. i will surely take that online NCLEX review you were telling me about. maybe it will be better to take it like 3 weeks before i will take the exam but prior to that, i will read some of my NCLEX books. Regards to you and your family. GOd BLess

hey son, how are you doing? i'm okay, except for all the construction going on in my house. they got the owl family out and they are safe at a veternary hospital. they were barn owls with the big heart shaped face. the interview at the hospital went pretty well i guess. just waiting for their decision. may be two weeks before i hear. would be the best spot for me even though the pay is bad as i could still go to school. sounds like you are on track with your studying. i know if you keep on track you will pass next time. i really think that online NCSBN review is best. and yes i would do it three weeks before (i did it exactly three weeks before) unless you want to buy more weeks (not sure the cost). then just keep doing questions every day. try and do at least four hours a day. let me know when your test date is. take care.
