As an new RN who worked many times as a CNA/Sitter for the past two years with the oftentimes difficult patients I sat with, I would like to say how much I appreciate this post. I'm proud to say I...

I just would like to 2nd your post and say that I used this prayer too (the second version) and gave it to my friend and we both passed (I with 75 Qs, taking me 3 hrs! and her with all 265 Qs). I...

You certainly deserved your spot in the ICU given your good grades and extensive critical care experience. Please know I mean no disrespect to you, or any other male RNs, who have achieved well...

I'm not a feminist-activist type, but from what I've seen there is definitely a glass escalator for men in nursing, no doubt about it. Personally, during a student internship, I (along with most of...

It works! Got quick results this morning - Passed!!! :) Thank goodness!!

Dubs, I called the state BON to see when my license will show up. They told me that while they can't confirm I passed technically, they did say my license will be up by the end of the week, so I take...

Thank you so much!!! :) :roflmao:

I called them because my hospital is breathing down my neck lol, and basically told me I better be licensed by next week or they'll rescind my position. So I called the state and told them I thought...

To me Saunders was too easy, and Kaplan was on par with the actual NCLEX (it even has the same looking screen), but Saunders is much better for content review. They are both excellent when paired...

I studied for 2.5 weeks (that was all the time I had), I used Kaplan On Demand Course for practice with questions - completing the Diagnostic & Readiness tests, all Question Trainers, and 30% of the...

Saunders is great for content, but in all respects the NCLEX is much more difficult and most closely resembles Kaplan. I recommend Saunders for review, but Kaplan to get a feel for the actual test...

Got the "good pop up" after 75 questions, having taken it today! It was the hardest test of my life, but the state board (while being unable to officially confirm my passing as of today) says I will...

I just love this post and I'm so glad you passed :) I love what your boyfriend wrote on the white board too - so sweet and inspiring :)

Your welcome! I posted further details on my experience on the thread that I started about preparing in two weeks. And here is the wonderful study guide that was so helpful to me! :) 12188

Also wanted to say, thank you all so, so much for your best wishes and support! :) I forgot to mention, I had quite a few infectious disease questions r/t isolation, and the study guide here on...

Well today I took my NCLEX. I have to say I was extremely nervous going in - literally shaking in the bathroom before I went into the exam. I looked at myself in the mirror though, and said you will...

Thank you so much!!! I am so relieved! And just in the nick of time because my hospital called me today and "reminded me" in no uncertain terms that its "getting to the last minute and I have to have...

Dubs2012, I'm so happy you passed!!! I took it today - honestly, for me, it was so hard that I was sure I failed. I left crying...however I did get the good pop up so I'm thanking God. I think I...

Okay so just to follow up - I took QT 7 and got 80% and got 82% on my readiness test and 87% on the practice test for Kaplan that evaluates prioritizing who you would see first. I finished all the...

I'll be thinking and praying for you both - Chicago_RN and Dubs2012. Going to reread the notes I took from Saunders, write out my labs one last time, pray and try to get some sleep. I wasn't able to...

Lets get this party started lol...a little review, getting down labs solidly and then I think I'm gonna just try to calm down, pray, and relax. I hope everyone who had theirs today did okay :)

Just found it and took it lol! Got 87% so I am feeling much more relieved cause I heard thats a big part of the NCLEX - thank you for pointing that test out! :) I was taking it pretty quickly and...

Where is the Sample Test focused on prioritizing?? I am freaking out over here cause I realize, looking through that study guide that I haven't reviewed enough about Parkinsons or Myasthenia Gravis....

Good luck!! Wishing you the best and I'll say a little prayer. Please come back & let us know how it goes. :)

I made 80% on QT 6 and 80% on QT 7 (just rechecked) so I'm hoping I can keep my composure and perform just as well on the NCLEX. I have to say I'm not a big fan of Kaplan all the time cause I think...
