I have Saunders, HESI, and Incredibly Easy books with the cd’s? I need to stick to one study plan and go straight through with it instead of bits and pieces from different sources. Does anyone feel any one thing in particular helped them to pass this exam? Thank you for any tips or advice. I am gun shy of this exam at this point and I was not the first go.

I have a great job lined up and all I need is my letter stating that I can work as an LPN, license pending. So my first question is- when should I expect my letter? I have a classmate who took her exam on a Friday and recieved her letter 8 days later(the following Saturday). I took my test last Friday(July 18th) so today is 8 days but unfortunatley there is no letter in the mail today. If anyone has been through this process could you please let me know how long it took your letter to come? My second question related to this is- when my letter comes will there be another license fee. I believe there is something like a $65 fee but I cannot find any info anywhere.
Thanks so much! :-)

Can someone give me an idea of the typical day in the life of a nursing school student? i.e. Wake up at 6am, go to school for 6 hours, etc. Thanks!

I also plan on going back to get my rn. Does anyone suggest doing it online or through an actual class setting.I have considered relocating to the Memphis Tennessee area. I have actually called and requested applications from various apartment complexes. Any insight anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.I think I will probably need to work on a med-sug floor or do the travel companies offer new grad preceptors?

I am not getting the best teaching I can and find it hard to retain information. I want to continue into sciences and maths – preferably pharmacology – and will not be continuing french at A Level or in Uni so by the time I have completed all this studying there is no way I will be able to remember any of the French anyway so what is the point of doing the GCSE in the first place? I am aiming for all A/A*’s and my B grade in French is ruining it. I would really like to know if I should continue with French or not. Currently I am in year 11.
