2. FAILED NCLEX (2015). Need advice, please.

   VAPrincess1036 replied to na_na's topic in NCLEX

   Please look into the HURST review if you need help with core content. I struggled with Kaplan which was provided by my school. I paid for the HURST live review to do on my own and it was worth every penny. It's $350 but totally worth it.

6. Military Spouse! Should I tell them?

   VAPrincess1036 replied to procrastinator911's topic in Government

   I say go ahead and say that while you can. Soon your resume will have multiple jobs from all over the country/world and it will be obvious you are probably a military spouse. It sucks that employers think that before they get a chance to interview ...

12. NCLEX - SATA Questions

    VAPrincess1036 replied to rnnight2015's topic in NCLEX

    The SATA on the NCLEX are no where near as hard as Kaplan's SATA in my opinion. I did the HURST review on my own, did Kaplan in school and also I used Exam Cram questions. I say make it a goal to do at least 100 questions daily. But try not to stress...
