1. Age Discrimination in Nursing

   Girlygirl23 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   DREAM'N : It may not be the "serious" age discrimination that is discussed in the article but it is still "serious" and real. I decided to share my experience and how age discrimination affects me on a day to day basis; a piece that the article did n...

2. Age Discrimination in Nursing

   Girlygirl23 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I find that in my workplace it is the complete opposite. I am 23 and always asked by patients/ family members about how old I am. A day doesnt fail where I recieve comments like "Youre a baby you look 14." Or " Youre too young to be a nurse." It anno...

3. starting to get frustrated/discouraged

   Girlygirl23 replied to blondie1887's topic in New York

   NYC is SO COMPETITIVE, I myself have filled out so many apps in the past 2 months and NOTHING! I would recommend Calvary Hospital (Hospice) to you, its located in the Bronx and they are always taking new grads.

4. Those who have used Kaplan!

   Girlygirl23 replied to wsoxgirl2008's topic in NCLEX

   You are definitely ready! Those scores are great :) Wouldn't be surprised if you walked out of there with 75Q and PASSED! Good luck tomorrow!

   Congrads RN:up:!!!!!!!

6. Saunders 6th review questions?

   Girlygirl23 replied to pinkfroid's topic in NCLEX

   Saunders Q's in my opinion were too easy and my Kaplan instructor thought so as well. I would recommend purchasing Kaplan or using a friends. LaCharity was a GREAT book, 100% worth the purchase!

7. NCLEX Exam 2014

   Girlygirl23 replied to gradnu's topic in NCLEX

   I also have to agree that Kaplan ( I used this for Q's and Saunders Comprehensive to review material ) was more challenging than the NCLEX. Definitely do Qtrainers 6 and 7 because they contain more challenging questions and be prepared to sit for the...

8. Winging the NCLEX

   Girlygirl23 replied to noemi04's topic in NCLEX

   My friend took it right after she graduated and didnt study....passed with 265Q - very risky in my opinion lol

9. How quick do you answer a question

   Girlygirl23 replied to mkcab's topic in NCLEX

   Honestly I recommend just TAKING YOUR TIME. I cannot stress it enough. I was considered a very fast test taker in nursing school and I was always the first or second person out. For some reason it took me about 2 hours to finish 89q and thats a lot ...

10. LaCharity PDA Book

    Girlygirl23 replied to msg88's topic in NCLEX

    I would reccommend doing the first section of the book and completing the case study section only if you have time. This is a VERY GOOD resource to prepare from considering that management of care is a large portion of the exam. I did the questions a...

11. Input on Kaplan Scores & NCLEX PLZ!

    Girlygirl23 replied to honeydewnyc's topic in NCLEX

    I had similar kaplan scores as well and i passed the nclex with 89Q 2 weeks ago :) I had really bad anxiety a week leading up to the exam and I felt that doing questions always eased it. The day before the exam i went to the gym and tried not to stud...

12. DESPERATE for help & advice!

    Girlygirl23 replied to hbanga's topic in NCLEX

    If you got 75 questions each time, I'm inclined to believe that you may need to review content. Failing with 75 questions most likely means you were not able to master minimum competency, which is key to this exam. Study content, that is basically wh...

13. Feeling down :(

    Girlygirl23 replied to BSNRN2014's topic in NCLEX

    I also used Kaplan and Saunders to prepare for the exam. My scores ranged from 56-68 on the Q bank. I got a 67 on the readiness and a 64 on Qtrainers 6 and 7. I also felt VERY discouraged when I would get 50's on the Q bank. On those days, I would r...

14. Failed NCLEX, now what?

    Girlygirl23 replied to amy0024's topic in NCLEX

    Hi amy, I just took my boards today. My computer shut off at 89 questions and I got the good pop up :) Hoping that means I passed! I would like to share with you what I studied to prepare for this exam. I used Kaplan, which I felt was extremely helpf...
