   heedy11 replied to heedy11's topic in NCLEX

   I have failed the NCLEX-RN a couple of times and I am actually waiting on results from my most recent attempt. The test stopped at 75. Lots of SATA, Priority, Meds, and 2 Dosage Calc. I have tried Suzanne's plan (Saunders) in the past, Kaplan, and ...

2. NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-LPN

   heedy11 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Just wandering if anyone can tell me some differences between the NCLEX-RN and the NCLEX-LPN test. I have failed the NCLEX-RN a couple of times, and I am debating sitting for the LPN test. Is there much of a difference between the two? All I know is ...

3. System Failure @ Testing Site!

   heedy11 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX-RN and there was a system failure in the middle of testing! I got to around question 65 and the computers and lights went out in the entire building. They came back on after a couple of minutes and then we had to wait about 15 minute...

4. Is Kaplan Review Course Worth It?

   heedy11 replied to Dignan's topic in NCLEX

   Hi! Just a warning! Kaplan's guarantee is only for first-time test takers! I took the NCLEX right after graduation, without any studying, and failed. I then took the Kaplan Review Course and failed yet again. I wasn't given any type of refund becaus...

5. How do you know when to retest?

   heedy11 posted a topic in NCLEX

   It's been awhile since I last tested. I had taken a Kaplan review just before testing. I thought it helped some, but I still failed. I needed more content review, so I started Suzanne's plan. I feel more comfortable now using Saunders, but I still do...

6. Feeling depressed

   heedy11 replied to bakingrn2b's topic in General Students

   :welcome: Nursing school is so overwhelming to everyone! Just hang in there! I was the youngest in my class and found it very difficult to keep up. Most of the class were in their late 30s and 40s. There were also a few in their 50s. For me I had to...

7. just failed NCLEX-RN...any advice??

   heedy11 replied to BleuEyes's topic in NCLEX

   Just a warning! Kaplan's guarantee is for first-time test takers only. Their Q-Bank is good, and the class is helpful if you study best in groups. The class is only testing strategies and you work through each question together. I took the class and ...

8. Did anyone fail using Kaplan?

   heedy11 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in NCLEX

   I rushed to take the NCLEX right after graduation and failed. I then took a Kaplan review class and attempted the NCLEX again. I failed yet again and since it wasn't my first time testing after Kaplan, their guarantee didn't apply and they refused a ...

9. Failed..AGAIN

   heedy11 replied to GramsDoll3's topic in NCLEX

   I feel like you have described my situation! I have a part time job right now while studying to take the NCLEX again, but it doesn't get the bills paid and I am relying on my fiance as well. It's a tough situation to be in, but don't give up! It took...

10. NCLEX right away without studying?

    heedy11 replied to Clever User Name's topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX shortly after graduation without studying much and failed. I wouldn't recommend rushing to test! Not only is it expensive to fail, it is a major let down! It can become a major hurdle to overcome, depending on the particular situatio...
