   mcasborn replied to mcasborn's topic in NCLEX

   Hello Fellow Nurses or soon to be nurses. I took the NCLEX Oct 19, 2012 and as of Oct 22, 2012, I can now call myself an RN. I used Kaplan to prepare for the monstrous test. Any who, I wanted to post my test score because prior to taking my test, I ...

   Oh, I would also like to mention that I have Kaplan audio on my iPhone so when I drove places I would listen to that. I think it's a shorter than the content videos but still just enough info for me to know. What I would do is listen to a clip, then ...

   I went to Universidad Adventista de Las Antillas which is located in Mayagüez, PR. That's about 2-3 hrs from San Juan depending on the traffic. My readiness score was for this recent test that I just passed. As far as the decision tree, I honestly di...

    mcasborn replied to mcasborn's topic in NCLEX

    I agree, never give up. I did postpone the test several times and almost postponed this last time. Life kept happening and felt the added stress would cause failure. Despite having 3 deaths within a two week period prior to the test, found the streng...

    Mommylove2000, I did retake the nclex and the trick does work on retakes. I studied with other students who had previously failed and they took the exam again a few months ago, they all got the good pop up as where before, it went straight to the cre...
