I have been doing Kaplan and my average on the Q Bank was at 48% and now it is at 51% but certainly not good enough. And my Question Trainer scores are even lower then that. I did Hurst. I started with the online and then did a live class (don't waste your money if you already have the online as they are identical right down to the jokes they say in the live class).
I went to an AWFUL school. I graduated with a 3.87 in my BSN, which was Summa Cum Laude. But that means nothing. The school was a joke but after trying to get into an ADN, BSN, or even direct entry MSN program in CA and not succeeding I moved and I am paying the price.
I look up everything on Kaplan even the ones I get right. I have watched and listened to each Hurst video or audio at least a dozen times.
I keep rescheduling my exam. First it was August, then Sept, and now October. I am not going to reschedule again because people who did not go to my school are wondering why I am taking so long and my parents are putting a lot of pressure to at least try. I am not being a pessimist but scoring 51% on the Q bank on Kaplan is a good indicator that I am going to fail.
Plus I am guessing at most of the answers. We used Saunders in a class our last trimester. I know it is awesome but it is like a giant outline and it goes in an ear and out the other.
I have ADHD and the only way I can read a book is if I have an exam coming up but not something like NCLEX.
I am really good in lecture and I feel if I find something that teaches nursing then when I am looking back on my notes and looking things up it will stick. But since I never heard it in school the 1st time around I feel I need that.
I just don't know what to do. Looking for a longer class or a study buddy. I am in the San Francisco Bay Area. Please help!
