Re: Kaplan Vs Ncsbn Nclex-rn Review

Did kaplan really helped you? Was qbank helpful , the question trainer or both? Where you a smart student, because myself I'm average and I have 4 children to take care of. I must pass the first time. Please help me! Also, if I decide to do Kaplan do I still need to review saunders is well or is Kaplan enough, since I don't have much time nor money? Help!

Yes, please review Saunders. Kaplan is not enough, but helpfull.

Re: Kaplan Vs Ncsbn Nclex-rn Review

Thanks for the info. Like you I purchased the NCSBN program and am not happy with it at all. After only using it for 1 day, I knew it wasn't going to work for me. (Wish I could get a refund!!) The hospital I am working for when I graduate offers new grad's the Kaplan course for free (we have to pay for it out of pocket and they reimburse us) so I am DEFINITELY taking advantage of that opportunity now. Thanks and congrats on passing!

Re: Kaplan Vs Ncsbn Nclex-rn Review

Jay 4 - I failed the NCLEX RN the first time around taking 262 questions. I knew some of the questions were on the Comprehension level when I got that far. I would like to know what types of questions does the real exam ask the second time around? I am using KAPLAN and its a real confidence booster. Kaplan is awesome.. all of their answers make sense and they don't ******** around. Should I concentrate on the material about cancer more or skin disorders more, or something else for the second time around. I keep on telling myself I know everything that I can possibly know - its just a matter of recognizing it, recalling it and applying it on the test and going really slowly. Thanks - Maverickemt.

When you resit the exam it will be as if you haven't taken the test before so who knows what will come up

Re: Kaplan Vs Ncsbn Nclex-rn Review

I took NCSBN ands read some Saunders book when I first took the exam and failed. Then I joined Kaplan's complete and also NCSBN on the last 3weeks and also failed. I also felt same way as others did. I spent a lot of money and was so devastated about the results. I just dont know how to move on with me still hoping o pass the exams. Dont lose hope and I know with determination and hard work we will make it this time.
