Help Applying to NY

Hello mga Kabayan!

We're all in the same boat huh? :) I'm in TX right now. I graduated 2007, then worked in a call center. Came here 2010, took the NCLEX RN exam 3 mos after arrival and FAILED! Honestly, I did not study hard, and was extremely unfocused. I am having a hard time studying, work and kids. I have Kaplan and Saunders reviewers on top of my computer table, which is untouched. I do not know how to study and where to start. If you can also guide me, I will really appreciate it.

yup!! and like u i applied for lpn too and i can take it anytime now but still not ready and not sure whether il get rn or lpn

i feel like i will not pass ... cos of my low scores in Qbank (kaplan online) taking nclex rn ny too ;(((

Hi I'm from the Philippines too finished my BSN there last oct 2008 so it's been 4years I'm out of school. I just took the nclex rn here last march 27 and passed it first time with 80 questions. I would say that you guys should take hurst review online! Kaplan is useless you can't pass the exam just by answering questions. You need to build your content in order to pass. Goodluck to all of you!

Wow must be tough for you and all of us. Yeah its true that asking the question where to actually start is the big issue. Anyway i hope we'll all find what and where you start studying for us to make it after we take the exams again if you ever need help im sure me and others here will be willing to help you out.

Yup same for me, im thinking of taking both after i attend another review course. I sure do hope it really helps and i know im confindent that i will pass in the near future and so will all of us.

Dont think too much into it, just keep tyring hard and workying yourself until you do have good grads on the Qbank, i did that before too and yes i was devastated when i didnt have high marks but i do always keep trying. I hope you pass your NCLEX in one shot, wishing for the best!

I heard HURST was pretty good ill check it out and if its online i would guess i'll have more time doing it, but i really like the classroom feel where you can interact with other people and having conversations about the topics because you chan share and learn more that way. Its still only a thought in my head and i hope it does help. Ill check the HURST online and see if they are available for me soon!

FAILED in JUne2013, a 2011 graduate with 81% in RN exam in Philippines, did a self review for 2months...its quite embarrassing to fail after spending so much money and quitting job just to review. and it made me see that US tackle their exam very differently. I heard many filipino graduates fail also and only a few passed this 2013. those passed were using online review. US graduates have high passing after April2013 so they must be doing something or learning some strategies that we dont know. I heard HURST was good too, some say if you have saunders you dont need hurst but others say different. THey said using HURST had a very hard time catching up online. is this true? I also talked to a filipino educated nurse who passed after april 2013 exam (the higher quota) and she said KAPLAN helped her a lot. Actually she used, a bit of HURST, cover to cover of SAUNDERS, and got KAPLAN online... Its quite expensive for me really to do those so I am choosing one online. I have the saunders book already. What u guys think?

lets build each other and help each other study and pass. thanks for the previous posts and tips. So we have to!

There is an excellent book that our school required called [h=1]Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX Examination, 2e, there is a newer edition coming out soon but i used the 2e. It really helped with the multiple "who needs to be seen first, etc" questions I encountered when I took NCLEX in sept. I passed 78 questions, hope this helps:) Hang in there!!![/h]

Hi dclcnur, did u apply in ny too? How was it? How long does it take? Should i go ahead with cvs cgfns first before sending app to ny? How bout the child abuse and infection control? Do i need to complete it first before i could apply to ny? Tnx

What's the concurrency issue?

Conscurrency means they are now asking more requirements just like Ca state. For instance more med surg, cases etc.. Some applicants got letter saying they need to go back to school and submit a few units before being allowed to take nclex.

Just to let you know.. In case you don't already... You cannot take the NCLEX "as many times as it takes to pass" in Texas, as you can in some other states (I.e. New York). You only have 3 chances total in Texas. Be as prepared as possible the next time you test because you only have 2 more chance left! Best of luck!
