1. When your NCLEX gets cancelled the DAY of the exam!!!!

   BSN1415 replied to apff's topic in NCLEX

   Wow I am sorry to hear that. Good luck and I hope it all goes well :)

2. Failed due to ROOT any advice?

   BSN1415 replied to pithoud2's topic in NCLEX

   My school had Kaplan built into the tuition. I think it taught me a lot of strategies, which could help you narrow down answers faster so you don't run out of time. If you fail they also will give you money back. I highly recommend Kaplan!

3. Just left NCLEX RN

   BSN1415 replied to BSN1415's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for the encouragement!! Around 22-23 hours after the exam I went to my PA BON license checklist website and my license went from 'pending' to 'active' with a license number. Did not have to pay for quick results. I am SO excited!!!

   I'm an absolute nervous wreck! I think I failed. Test shut off at 85 questions. I prepared with Kaplan and did almost the entire qbank with remediation. I also used the study guide floating around here. I just tried PVT even though I need to wait; us...

6. I Have done the Deed: Moved NCLEX up to the 18th. AHHHH!!!

   BSN1415 replied to bonniekate89's topic in NCLEX

   I also moved my date up. First I was scheduled the 25th and then changed to the 18th but it was out of state and I was going to stay in a hotel. Now I moved it again because another date opened up closer by so I will be taking it the 17th!! :) I have...

7. Passed in 75! My NCLEX Experience

   BSN1415 replied to meghan03's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for all the encouragement and congrats! I'm testing this week and my school also enrolled us in Kaplan (last week). I though it was a HUGE help. @nightflower the course is a lot of strategies to teach you what to do if you forget a lab value o...

8. Kaplan and Saunders Percentages for NCLEX

   BSN1415 replied to whitneycharla09's topic in NCLEX

   My class had the Kaplan course built into tuition. Our teacher for the course said you should aim for 60% on the cumulative QBANK score so I would say you are in good shape there! The lady also recommended doing 90% of the QBANK with remediation. I'm...

10. Jefferson FACT 2015 Applicants

    BSN1415 replied to oxrich383's topic in Pennsylvania

    I'm not sure how many people apply to the program but your best bet is to apply as soon as you can so the spots don't fill up. I know a lot of people were still finishing up pre-reqs while they were applying. They just need to be finished by the time...

11. What can I do while in nursing school to increase my chances of getting hired?

    BSN1415 replied to fatrabbit's topic in New Nurse

    Definitely try to be a CNA. I know that around me, you are already eligible for some jobs at hospitals just by having one clinical rotation done, so you don't even need the certification. You can also look for positions called nurse externships. Whil...

12. Timeline for graduation, NCLEX, and 1st RN Job

    BSN1415 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in NCLEX

    Thanks!@friendlyelse I actually called them today and they said to just keep waiting. I graduated 5/27 and the school sent verification that day to the BON that I graduated. From that point, it can take 10-14 days to get ATT. I have been refreshing m...

    BSN1415 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in NCLEX

    I am curious to know too! Which state did you take your boards in? I am taking them in PA. It's a relief to me to see you were able to schedule your test so quickly because I want to have a test date before July (hopefully!!) Here's where I am at: 4/...

14. What are the best nursing schools to learn neurology on the East Coast?

    BSN1415 replied to swimmingfever00's topic in Neuro

    I go to Thomas Jefferson University (12 month 'FACT' program, but there's also a 2 year bsn program for second degree). Jefferson has its own neuroscience hospital, so we did a neuro clinical rotation. I think most people were placed at the neuro hos...

15. Networking Suggestions

    BSN1415 posted a topic in Job Hunt

    I am going to graduate in may and would love to work at my school's hospital. I have had a few clinical instructors who work at this hospital on units that I would be interested in working at. I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to show a par...
