1. Doulas: love them or hate them.

   Sixxer posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am trying to get a better understanding on why my co-workers hate doulas and I am pretty sure it comes down to control. There are 2 local hospitals with L&D and one welcomes doulas and mine hates doulas. The other hospital knows some doulas by ...

   Sixxer replied to pamperME's topic in NCLEX

   I did the HURST program (which gives you an all over review & tips for questions) I knew that book very well, the labs, insulin chart, ect and then did 3,000 questions after that. Of course I did not feel prepared (I am not sure if you can ever f...

5. What percent to study for?

   Sixxer replied to thatme20's topic in NCLEX

   I went through many books and it depended on the books. In Sauders I always did a little bit better and some other books I struggled. I passed the NLCEX with 75 and I believe it is more the content that you are exposing yourself to that is important ...

   Sixxer replied to stumillardkm's topic in NCLEX

   I think I had a 96% chance of passing and that was before I had studied. A friend of mine went to another school and in order to graduate they were required to have a 99% chance of passing (and their school has an NCLEX pass rate of 100% - or so she ...

   Sixxer replied to NewYorkGirl's topic in NCLEX

   I just took mine this afternoon. It shut off at 75 & I had about 30+ SATAs and only 1 math. I didn't feel like they were hard level questions, but I never knew the best answer. I feel the same way. Almost every time I clicked I felt like the last...

   Sixxer replied to Sixxer's topic in NCLEX

   I did the HURST review which I really liked and am now doing Saunders questions. I also have an NCLEX made easy book. My scores are usually in the 70s. I now feel unprepared. I have trying to do 100 Q a day at this point.

10. Review Books and subsequent scores.

    Sixxer posted a topic in NCLEX

    I have been going through the review books and trying to keep track of how many questions I have been doing. I am also keeping track of my score and I have been consistently averaging around 68-75% (sometimes better) per about 100 questions. Does any...
