   *SS* replied to Lorodz's topic in NCLEX

   Those are good scores. Just trust that you know the material and take the exam as scheduled. Make sure to take a day or two off just before the exam to rest and relax (if possible =-). Good Luck.

3. Kaplan?

   *SS* replied to Metabaronx's topic in NCLEX

   I took the Kaplan Complete and unfortunately I found the course to be confusing. I tend to overanalyze things anyway. I'm sure I learned a few things from it and I did find the prioritization questions very helpful but the rest of it didn't seem ve...

    *SS* replied to KarmaWiseRaven's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, OP you need to worry about taking care of the patients and less about attracting the opposite sex or smelling good because it's "who you are." To me that sounds very self-centered. Seriously, we wear pajamas to work and your worried abou...

14. review books

    *SS* replied to dondex05's topic in NCLEX

    I'm glad you mentioned this... I've picked up multiple books and found the different rationales and strategies to be contradictory and really confusing. My favorite is differing Lab values. You would think there would be some consistency.
