1. Failed nclex again

   chelle711i replied to keiannurse04's topic in NCLEX

   I passed on my 4th attempt. I wouldn't believe that even if I passed on my first attempt. Benjamin Franklin failed many times before having success REAL nurses persevere. I think an experience like this will truly humble you and really make you appr...

2. I HATE the NCLEX, and I'm starting to doubt that I'll ever pass it.

   chelle711i replied to Myname82's topic in NCLEX

   I passed on my 4th attempt. For me, it was a mix between content and test-taking strategies. There is no way to know EVERYTHING, and I'm sure that added to my anxiety, the fear of the "unknown". I used both Hurst and Kaplan, while utilizing both in a...

3. Nervous/excited

   chelle711i replied to Char-cole's topic in NCLEX

   My school used ATI, and I personally did not feel that it helped me (but to each his own?). I bought the Saunders Q&A and did as many questions as I could for about 2 weeks, and I just LIGHTLY reviewed some material from Hurst the day before. Kap...

4. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

   chelle711i replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX

   Did you print out your license because you needed it sooner than it would be mailed? Or does the BON not mail it anymore?

5. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

   chelle711i replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX

   There's a pretty good possibility (never %100) that you did pass. I'd wait until your board posts, or until you check quick results. It worked for me both ways (for when I failed and passed), but there is nothing like getting the official results! Ha...

   @pleaseanswer1 I received that popup, too. It worked for me! As I was told, have faith :)

   As of 0900 this morning, on the Texas BON website, I am officially an RN!! To God be the glory!!

8. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

   chelle711i replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX

   Thank you! I'll check in the morning. I noticed the site looked different, too. How soon should I contact them? You are definitely right about book vs. real life. I excelled in clinicals, but I was never a good test-taker because I'm a visual learner...

9. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

   chelle711i replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX

   I took my test yesterday (May 20) and received the "good popup" after failing a couple of times before and being led to the CC page. Of course, being in slow Texas, I'm waiting for my name to appear on the BON website because I REFUSE to give PV any ...

10. 3rd rn nclex attempt, shut off at 75

    chelle711i replied to loopy84's topic in NCLEX

    I am also wondering the same thing. I don't want to have to pay for Quick Results seeing how nursing school and this test has taken a great deal of my money already. It also took me to the credit card page, and I felt confident after taking both Hurs...

11. Passed my NCLEX with 75 questions on first try: My Advice and Thoughts.

    chelle711i replied to pknurse's topic in NCLEX

    So did you pass even though you had to go to the cc page? I read a few pages back that some people have gotten false-negative results. I had 75 Questions this time after studying both Hurst and Kaplan FULLY (265 last time and failed).

12. New Grad in ICU

    chelle711i replied to criticalcareRN2B's topic in Critical

    This is really great feedback. I'm taking my boards next week, and I have considered applying for CICU. I've always loved the cardiovascular system (best subject in nursing school), so I feel like I'd do fairly well in this area. I would work cardio ...

13. My Failing experience in taking my NCLEX RN

    chelle711i replied to elizald_ex's topic in NCLEX

    Me too please! [email protected] I've studied both Hurst and Kaplan. I haven't even touched Saunders Q&A yet. I don't want to OVER study...

14. Kaplan Qbank scores

    chelle711i replied to ssk5's topic in NCLEX

    My scores so far are pretty close to your's, never below 50% though. When I took the readiness test, I got 60%, but when I took the diagnostic exam, I got 53%, which I thought was weird because it was supposed to be easier than the readiness test. Di...

15. NCLEX Study Tips! My story

    chelle711i replied to PrettyLady87's topic in NCLEX

    I'm approaching my third attempt. I made the mistake of only using the Kaplan app the first time. The second time, I used the live Hurst Review and read through the book TWICE. However, after taking the exam, I realized my weakness was not in content...
