   l_wheat replied to Carrie_MTC's topic in NCLEX

   Hey, I used the latest Saunders Q&A book and I passed, so, take it for what it is. There are a lot of questions in the book and on the CD (5200 I think) so it seems to help to have MANY MANY questions at least in my case. Try and keep track of yo...

   l_wheat replied to ashlea19's topic in NCLEX

   Hey, I too took 78 questions and thought.....WHAT!! 78, I've NEVER heard of someone getting 78. I thought SURELY I failed. I had VERY similar questions as you described and almost drove my wife INSANE along with myself, BUT I passed. I took it on the...

4. NCLEX-PN "it is possible to pass with 205 questions"

   l_wheat replied to bertman85's topic in NCLEX

   Hey there, Yes it is possible. A classmate of mine took the MAX and she passed. I took 78 and I passed, so.... you just can't tell until either you see your name on the BRN site or get a notice saying you didn't pass. EVERYONE feels like crap after t...

   l_wheat replied to mwcrsn's topic in New Nurse

   Hi all, I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but I live in central CA (modesto), and they don't want new grads it would appear, 2 of the 3 big hospitals in town only have a couple of nursing postions even open. I graduated in December and have passe...

   l_wheat replied to gentleMANhands's topic in Men

   Hi, I too felt the way you do now back when I got into nursing. 6 years ago I was fresh from the IT industry when I got my CNA cert. One thing that has ALWAYS helped me was to think of my clients as auto parts or like I was working on a computer (not...

11. Think I failed... need support :o(

    l_wheat replied to rnstudent010's topic in NCLEX

    My state sux. We don't have quick results in CA. I'd pay $100 to know if I passed or not. It's maddening not knowing. I think you should get the results @ the testing center. I mean it is computerized. Funny how the ATI testing has automatic results ...
