   Miltonrn replied to christvs's topic in NCLEX

   Hi Christine, I understand what you're feeling as I felt the same way. 75 questions with lots of prioritization, prioritization, pioritization, and herbals.... I found out I passed exactly 48 hours after my NCLEX had started on Pearson Vue for the b...

   Miltonrn replied to LauraLou's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi Laura, I just wanted to let you know I've questioned myself just as you have. Our next door neighbor had a L occipital aneurism 4 years ago and I still think about him. After hearing the same response and researching and reading the probable out...

   Miltonrn replied to christvs's topic in NCLEX

   Hey Happy ER RN, You're not a "slacker". I simply have analysis paralysis and overachiever syndrome. We each have to find the path that works for us. Congratulations on your marriage - that's important to nuture too. Balance makes a difference. Ta...

5. NCLEX scoring

   Miltonrn replied to amber1142's topic in NCLEX

   Suzanne, I passed at 75 questions. When I reflect on the test, the questions seemed to double in difficulty at about #46, and then continued to double in difficulty every 5-6 questions there after. It seems odd to me that NCLEX would be set so that...

   Miltonrn replied to christvs's topic in NCLEX

   Christine, Good advice to take a break. I also stopped reviewing at 1:00 the day before I took the NCLEX, had a blast with my boys that afternoon and later in the evening I went for a hour massage. Well worth the money for the relaxation it brought...

   Miltonrn replied to vcannon's topic in NCLEX

   Are you waiting to test or waiting for results? Anything specific that you're wondering? I wore shoes (not sandles), pants and shirt. I found the test site chilly. It was a little unnerving for me to have to remove my watch and be finger printed ...

8. National Council? prep course?

   Miltonrn replied to smarge117's topic in NCLEX

   The way learningext.com starts is with a 150 pretest of which I had 111 correct (74%). I can see how my original post could have been misleading - thanks for the heads up:p. I found the NCLEX questions similar in style; however, I thought the diffi...

9. National Council? prep course?

   Miltonrn replied to smarge117's topic in NCLEX

   Hey Margaret, I used the on-line prep course that you mentioned and found it very,very beneficial and was a reasonable cost. I signed up for the 7 week class and studied 2 hours a day for 6 out of the seven weeks. I bounced back and forth from Lippe...

    Hey nurseguy, I just wanted you to know that if you're interested in nursing go for it! Nursing is a great profession and the male gender can be a benefit. I've seen many nurses advance in their career. Men in particular seem to be able to advance...

    Miltonrn replied to nupsgrad's topic in NCLEX

    Hi miniNYnurse, Could you give me more information about the board of nursing site and Pearson Vue. Pearson Vue web site states "results delivered" but test results are not available. How long did it take for your results to show up on Pearson? Th...
