5. Kaplan feedback anyone?...failed first time.

   veryhopeful1 replied to steu's topic in NCLEX

   I really liked Kaplan - I got the Kaplan Complete package, which included a week of classroom instruction, as well as thousands of questions in their online package. If anything, I would say get the Kaplan review book that sells for around $40 in th...

6. Uap / Lpn???

   veryhopeful1 replied to Yira's topic in NCLEX

   kathykaye is right... I took the Kaplan review course, and they summarized it really well: -RNs need to EAT - Evaluate, Assess, Teach (LPNs/UAPs cannot!) -LPNs get the stable/chronic patients... RNs get the unstable/acute patients -UAPs can assist wi...

7. I feel so "Blah"!

   veryhopeful1 replied to Little Panda RN's topic in NCLEX

   Good job - although the wait may be difficult, the hardest part (the TEST!) is over. Sounds like you did well. Just like everyone else says, try not to think about it. It's really hard to do, but take time out for yourself because you deserve it! ...

8. study guides and actual nclex questions????

   veryhopeful1 replied to pri4fun's topic in NCLEX

   I used the exact same study guides that you did - ncsbn (3 week course), saunders, and kaplan. In my opinion, ncsbn questions seemed to be the most similar to NCLEX than the others. Kaplan is just plain difficult (but still a great study tool), and...

10. Did anyone get 60s on Kaplan tests and still pass??

    veryhopeful1 replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX

    I did the Kaplan review... Did about 3/4 of the Qbank, and 6 of the 7 Question Trainer Tests. I never even got as high as a 65% on one of the Question Trainers (which is what Kaplan said you should get)... and on the Qbank, I did a little better, av...

11. Which questions to do??

    veryhopeful1 replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in NCLEX

    You have basically done what I did to prepare for mine. I didn't use Suzanne's plan, but I did utilize the Saunders review book as well as the Kaplan course/questions. I used them at the same time, intermittently. When I felt like Kaplan was getti...

15. NCLEX Tip guaranteed to help!

    veryhopeful1 replied to KnarfKS's topic in NCLEX

    RNs2BRWe, I also reviewed with Kaplan and Saunders (as well as NCSBN online), and felt that Kaplan was much more difficult than Saunders. If it were up to Saunders, NCLEX would be a breeze! I've decided (and this is my opinion, so take it however y...
