1. Struggling.....Should I do Kaplan or Hurst?

   nursegia replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX

   I have tried ATI and Saunders, neither was helpful. ATI was a waste of time, the questions on the NCLEX are nothing like what ATI offers. Saunders is good for knowledge but knowledge questions is not the goal of the NCLEX, so i advice to only use tha...

2. Struggling.....Should I do Kaplan or Hurst?

   nursegia replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX

   not familiar with Hurst, but I have taken the Kaplan course, and I benefited from it, if you follow exactly what they say as far as how to answer the question, you will get it right even if u have no idea what the question is talking about.

3. Should I volunteer while in school?

   nursegia replied to MayGirl2013's topic in New Jersey

   Extra exposure is good no matter how u do it, volunteering is a great way to make you feel a little more comfortable in the hospital setting, it allows you to take a look back at the organization as a whole and you will learn. Of course being a PCT/C...

5. Any 2nd or 3rd time test takers?

   nursegia replied to eosaeni's topic in NCLEX

   you're welcome, but you should also try doing some of their test, esp. the question trainers bc their questions are really similar to the style of the NCLEX.

6. Any 2nd or 3rd time test takers?

   nursegia replied to eosaeni's topic in NCLEX

   Good luck. The way I lost my nervousness was by telling myself that this (failure) cant happen again, studied harder, and getting above a 65% on the practice test I took, just made me feel so much more confident, bc I felt like I knew more. The strat...

9. Need Advice! Test in 2 days!

   nursegia replied to richajul's topic in NCLEX

   I took kaplan and passed. When I used Ati, the first time I failed. I was worried about doing bad on question trainer # 7 too but I really think you should still use and really try to use the decision tree bc it is hard. When I took number 7 I got 64...

    nursegia replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC Directors

    I am a fresh nurse and I don't agree with firing her on the spot. We don't know the full circumstance of the situation, not saying it is right for the "fresh nurse" to behave in that manner but we have to look at both sides. I feel that the manager s...

13. New Jersey Hospitals: easy or hard to get in?

    nursegia replied to nursegia's topic in New Jersey
