2. Kaplan or Saunders?

   JarOfPennies replied to cecipun's topic in NCLEX

   I used the Saunder's CD for questions, but the big book overwhelmed me as far as review is concerned. I enrolled in the NCSBN 5-week course for content review and practice questions. I think between Saunder's and NCSBN, I took a total of 3,000 prac...

4. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   JarOfPennies replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Hee, hee... I'll let you know when I find out! But I tell you, if I end up paying the fee, I'll be real upset that I didn't just pay it on Sunday night when they were first available!

5. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   JarOfPennies replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   Seeing that little "Quick Results" button is like dangling a carrot in front of me. It's only $7.95, but it seems like an easy way to make $$ off of anxious test takers. For the $200 exam fee, they should just give it to us, IMO. However, if I don'...

   I'm STILL waiting for my results! I took the NCLEX last Friday and my quick results have been available on the Pearsonvue site since Sunday night... for a fee. So, I decided to wait until my license status became available on our BON site. It's suppo...

7. How many med questions did you get?

   JarOfPennies replied to abcdwakwak's topic in NCLEX

   I only got a couple. I am still awaiting the results of my NCLEX exam (took it last Friday). I also have a problem just memorizing a list of drugs. My strategy was to focus on the drug classes and then choose only the most common drugs that we learne...

   JarOfPennies replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX-RN last Friday morning and it stopped at 75 questions... and let me tell you, those questions were HARD. I had tons of prioritization/delegation, a couple of SATA, 1 drag and drop, 1 math, 1 OB, a couple of drugs, a couple infection ...

   JarOfPennies replied to kemkem's topic in NCLEX

   I take the NCLEX in two weeks and I came to this thread because I can SOOOO relate to how you were feeling before taking the exam. I am SO HAPPY for you that you passed... even more so because you were so sure that you failed!!!! Good luck in your...

10. Hello all, I'm a single mom worried about juggling school & full-time work

    JarOfPennies replied to peoplefriendly1080's topic in General Students

    Nursingbyf8th, Just do it. Sometimes it is hard to see the end from the beginning, but you just need to take that faith of yours and jump in. I was a single mom and I know exactly where you are coming from. I also dreamt of being a nurse YEARS ago....

12. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    JarOfPennies replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    1. The entire class got a copy of the syllabus and we all know the instructor’s expectations. We all have brains or we wouldn’t be in nursing school. We don’t need your constant emails, reminding us about upcoming assignments, “clarifications” of wha...

13. Nursing school - loving it? Hating it?

    JarOfPennies replied to Biol20fan's topic in General Students

    For the most part, I love it. I love what I am learning. I love the challenge. I love my classmates and instructors. What is overwhelming is the amount of material we are given and the short of amount of time to learn it. I'm a really "in depth"...

14. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    JarOfPennies replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    "If He brought me TO it He will bring me THROUGH it." "Failure is not an option." "I've waited too long and worked too hard to not succeed." "They'd have to throw me out, kicking and screaming, because I'm NOT quitting."
