I will graduate next May ( 2009) . Yes.. our class has gotten together to study. Let me also mention that the type of questions that you will get will not be your normal type of questions. There will be 4 right answers you have to pick which is the most right. There are questions on tests that you will think I would be doing all of these at the same time but you must be able to pick which is the answer they are looking for. I would suggest you go and get a few good NCLEX books and start looking at those type of questions to prepare yourself. Its not just about reading and memorizing its about applying what you learn.First semester isn't that bad really. As you progress the questions get harder or I should say higher level( thats what our teacher call it) Second semester you will have a test every other week on a topic ex, Resp., CV, Diabetes, Surgery, F&E to name a few. Lots of material to learn and then be tested on in a short time. Its doable...dont expect A's in the class. We didnt have anyone to do that.WE had a few B's and mostly C's in that class. We only lost a few people due to the actually class. Like I said before we lost most our people due to ERI testing and Math. You have to take a math test the first day of each semester starting in second semester and have to make a 90% (basically you can miss 2 questions). So these are the two areas that we lose students. My class started with 57 and we are now down to 25 going into our 3rd semester. If I can help you ever please let me know Id be more than happy to help! Which campus are you going to? I have heard that there are difference in the two campuses.
