I am on Kaplan on demand right now and my diagnostic is 59% I don't know if its too low or just ok but I am really starting like a scratch.

I work in a assisted living and there are co-workers who be little me that I will not pass my exam and I will not take it anytime soon.because since I started working in this facility I have been bringing nclex study materials and until now I am still not able to pass.

but it is taking me time to get my eligibility since the denial of ca-bon and they don't have idea what we have to go thru the processing.

oh well lets help each other and share some insights until we make it.thanks

Hi 4ivyMN

I really would recommend hurst online. This online review is good for 90 days and very good.. Core content focused.

I was like you.. I worked full time and brought my books and notes to work and looked at them on the downtime or free time.

But I did ask my boss if that wld be alright before I did. My boss gave me his blessings so I didn't have issues with co workers.

My advice is just IGNORE your negative co workers.. And keep your business to yourself. You don't have to tell people you work with when you are testing or How many times you failed. I just did my reviews at work when possible, was nice

to my co workers and didn't try to upstage them or talk to them about my plans. One day I just came in and showed my boss my pearson vue status that said PASS.

You don't need people with crab mentality and avoid negative people at all cost !!!

I would advise you to check the validity period of your ATT. it varies for different states. Formulate your study plan, I had 90 days validity of my ATT and I spent the first 30 days on core content ... That is why I did the HURST online. I watched the video lectures and finished the whole thing BEFORE I started doing my practice tests. It's easier to do the practice tests because you get to use your core content now in analyzing and believe me the more you are able to see the "whys", the more you will appreciate the rationales. I also used la charity, exam cram, Davis, Hogan and Kaplan... All of these were used by me for the practice tests. You will develop that sense of accomplishment and real confidence when you see your critical thinking evolve... (GRABE!!!!!) it will help you transition your approach to nclex : instead of fear you will feel excited ... I felt exciited yet very calm when the first question appeared ; instead of feeling powerless, you will be able to

uncover what the trend of your questions is telling you to do; and finally you will walk out of the test center WITHOUT a doubt in your heart that you passed. I wish you the best of luck..

I already took the test dear. More than 2hrs for 110 items. Good pop up. GOT PASS status 48 hrs after via quick result and 3-4 days after test officially posted on the BON. Believe me.. Don't make it harder than it really is. Nclex is only hard when you don't prepare the right way. Since you are working, you must study at a good pace... Be kind to yourself . Better to study at a good pace where your brain absorbs and RETAINS it well than to cram so much that it causes confusion and some kind of resistance to learning. Been there, done that and we must learn from our mistakes to arrive at the result we want.

You can do the sample video of hurst and decide for yourself. Then you can tell those co workers who belittle you..." Who's the RN now " ?!!!!!! :cool:

Depends on my then workload. I would watch one hurst video maybe every other day. Then bring the notes of that video to work. Then I would read up on it as a supplement . Hurst wants you to watch their videos in the order they put it And I did just that. if I watched RENAL, I wld read their notes later at work, and read up on renal disorders using Mary Ann Hogan's book. My friend used this system too. She passed after 100 items . I know you can do it! use your energy and patience wisely.. Let those who belittle you motivate you to SUCCESS. you are so blessed. You are employed, you have the chance to be an RN ANYTIME in the very near future...without worries of student loan you need to pay in the future. GOOD LUCK KBAYAN and MERRY CHRISTMAS...
