1. Have anybody just used Kaplan and passed?

   buttercupp85 replied to FlyAcrossOcean's topic in NCLEX

   I only used Saunders and Kaplan and passed the first time in July. I used Saunders to brush up on topics I knew I was weak on (helloooo OB!) but mostly I just took practice questions and test from Kaplan and went through every single rationale (yes ...

2. Passed NCLEX 1st Time Kaplan Scores in 50s and Pearson Vue Trick (PVT)

   buttercupp85 replied to RhythmicCandy's topic in NCLEX

   I also was scoring in the 50's on Kaplan. I mean, once in a while I would get maybe a 68 from a qbank 75 question test. I got a 49 on qtrainer 6 and a 53 on qtrainer 7. I was freaking out. However, I would study every rationale I didn't know (includ...

3. Test on July 15 2015 HELP

   buttercupp85 replied to nursebabyxoxo's topic in NCLEX

   Well I tested on the 14th, got about 130 questions (I turned off the counter after 80- it was stressing me out!), and felt terrible after. I wanted to puke, cry, and drink, not sure of what exact order. Well I don't even know HOW this happened, but ...

   buttercupp85 replied to MsMarie's topic in California

   I mean I've done so many applications in the past 4 months or so I could be confused... But I thought I remembered choosing 3 units in order of preference.

   buttercupp85 replied to MsMarie's topic in California

   I don't know... But I've read the previous years threads and it seems like they interview 70-75 people at this stage for around 15 spots. Plus you don't know how many people you're competing against for the three units you chose!

   That's what the email said. 2 min answers and only answers from clinical or healthcare related work.

7. Oregon Health and Science University 2014 cohort

   buttercupp85 replied to TtotheAna's topic in Oregon

   It really depends on the quarter what Fridays are like. For simulations, they are usually 4 hours, either in the morning or afternoon. I think I only had one simulation that was more of an all day thing. Some terms, you'll either have clinicals Thurs...

11. Legacy RN Versant Residency Program Summer 2015

    buttercupp85 replied to LauraRose's topic in General Nursing

    That makes me feel better actually thanks! I feel like I did better on my picu interview than the peds interview. And I only went to one acute peds table and I forget which floors it was for. I'm still not totally counting on a call since it's so com...

    buttercupp85 replied to LauraRose's topic in General Nursing

    I read in another thread that people were already getting calls for peds. I knew legacy was super competitive when i started this process! Oh well, at least I have a job offer elsewhere still. Good luck to everyone that's going on for the second rou...

15. Options? Rejected from all California States

    buttercupp85 replied to runslikeanose's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm originally from California and I had a very dismal overall gpa when I started becoming interested in nursing school. I failed a few classes when I was 18, being not ready to be in college. I knew my only shots of getting into nursing school were ...
