1. NCLEX Fail in 75 questions

   gonerunning88 replied to emmich's topic in NCLEX

   Take some time off studying. Then you are at a clear mind, start looking at your weak spots. Anyone can memorize content from Hurst, Kaplan, Saunders, etc. if you spend hours reviewing the material. However for NCLEX you gotta be able to use the cont...

2. Please help a student nurse

   gonerunning88 replied to keepcalm's topic in Med-Surg

   I agree with the above comments. Get involved with patient care as much as possible, give the staff the impression you are motivated to learn. Treat everyone on the floor with respect. Sometimes the nurses will be a too busy to explain and teach ever...

3. FAILED NCLEX!!!!

   gonerunning88 replied to jamesdo01's topic in NCLEX

   Try Hurst Review if you haven't yet. I wouldn't say everything on the review you'll get tested on however the review does a good job going over core content. I also used PDA by LaCharity. The book really helped my with Prioritization questions.

5. Third time taking NCLEX-RN

   gonerunning88 replied to tryingtobeanRN's topic in NCLEX

   If this is truly what you want, I wouldn't give up just now. Focus on whatever is giving you the most challenge. If you don't know where you are going wrong/weakness', I'd say go back to the basics (use Saunders NCLEX review book) and move your way u...

7. When to start looking for a job?

   gonerunning88 replied to ames86's topic in General Students

   Start looking for jobs NOW. My last semester of nursing I applied to over 8 different GN programs. I landed a few interviews but I didn't receive any job offers while in my last semester. A lot of my classmates had job offers before our pinning cerem...

   gonerunning88 replied to DixieGrace's topic in NCLEX

   I heard the BON site usually upadates Tuesdays and Thursdays. I took mine on a Saturday and my GN permit still reflected, by the following Tuesday my license could be verified! Hope this helps.

    gonerunning88 replied to futuresctRN's topic in HESI

    I would suggest doing the evolve case studies if your school provides them. and doing practice questions everyday!! A lot of my classmates including me took the Hurst Review before our Exit HESI & NCLEX and did very well on both. I used a book by...

13. Anyone else struggle with HESI speciality exams?

    gonerunning88 replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in HESI

    Our school suggested us read the blue HESI book prior to every HESI we took. Honestly some people did well as far as class grades but sucked at HESIs. My HESI scores went up with every HESI exam I took so don't feel too bad. By the time I took my Exi...

    Cograts, your story is very inspirational! I recently took the NCLEX and went through all 265 questions! I was mentally drained by the time I reached 200 but the man upstairs kept telling me to hang in there. I found out today I passed!
