   gone2meowi replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX

   I only had one math calculation and it was to figure out an IV drip rate to how many units of medication would be administered in solution at what amount of cc's per hour I had to fill in cc's per hour .

2. California BRN-results?

   gone2meowi replied to Bliu's topic in NCLEX

   At least it should help to know they are not all coming out in the same time frame. Lots of good luck to you!

   gone2meowi replied to AnaBanana12's topic in NCLEX

   Kaplan was very beneficial in reviewing every picky little fact about so many body systems. I found it annoying at times because I did not agree with many of their answers through my own life experiences. However, it got to the point where I realiz...

4. California BRN-results?

   gone2meowi replied to Bliu's topic in NCLEX

   I'm in Southern CA and took the NCLEX June 21st. My name did not post online until July 3rd. I did not try calling the BRN so I don't know about that. I read about someone who took it on a Sat. recently and found her name within a week. I don't th...

   I felt the same as you do when I did the question trainers. They do get harder as you go along. With the NCLEX, you need to score 50% correct of the section of harder questions. Take a break (and your Advil). Don't be discouraged. It should help ...

   That is exactly what I meant when I said I may not have agreed with their answers..... I know the information to be different in my own experience or with newer information than they presented. I totally agree with you! If you go to pearson view.com...

   I know what you are saying and I think you are right in deciding to stick with one approach. Otherwise you will certainly make yourself nuts! I suggest that you just take the practice test, then review it right away so you can go over what you misse...

9. NCLEX Prep Courses - Comparisons ???

   gone2meowi replied to JoAnna McNurse's topic in NCLEX

   My daughter took the live class which included computer sessions and online access besides the class sessions. I really cannot say anything about other courses having just been exposed to only this one. I just know it worked for her. They pointed ...

10. NCLEX Prep Courses - Comparisons ???

    gone2meowi replied to JoAnna McNurse's topic in NCLEX

    My daughter graduated from an accelerated BSN program in CA and did well after taking the Kaplan NCLEX course. Whichever one you choose to take, make sure you analyze why certain answers are right or wrong so you adopt the learning process of how the...

    gone2meowi replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX

    Believe me, this was not an easy undertaking! I felt like I was going to lose my mind! I just kept going over and over it analyzing, as you seem to be doing. You are doing fine! Figuring out the method, is of key importance. Ask yourself, "Why is...

12. For those who did Kaplan pre-tests...

    gone2meowi replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX

    Well, for me, my initial attempt at the Kaplan tests scored me in the 60's in most tests. I had 100% in knowledge and comprehension but fell down in the application of it. That is why I analyzed why they answered the way they did and even though I...

13. For those who did Kaplan pre-tests...

    gone2meowi replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX

    Keep going over the Kaplan questions and read the rationale for each answer. They tell you why something is wrong or why some other answer is a better choice. That is a very important distinction. The goal of the NCLEX is to determine if you will ...
