Did you find that Kaplan helped you? Do you find the same level of questions on the NCLEX, or were they easier or harder than the ones you practiced with on Kaplan.
Were you told anything at Kaplan that was just wrong, or was it mostly on track?
I am trying to get a grip on the stuff that the Kaplan instructor is feeding us and having a hard time. She is telling us one thing, and the review books are telling us something else, and the instructor is getting testy. I don't know what to think. I am feeling that I have to question what I learned because the instructor is telling us things different.
In Kaplan class, it can really be annoying and frustrating to both the instructor and the students when some " know it ALLs" want to answer the question without giving others the chance to critically think and walk their way to the answer. We were told to remain silent during the questions and everybody is on the same page and we walk it out together even when we knew the answer.Then you can ask your questions.Of course with every other nclex review, there's always something that you may not agree with.
That's also how my Kaplan review went...after everybody had answered the question we showed her our answer by holding out 1, 2, 3, or 4 fingers so nobody could see them. Then she'd ask someone who had the answer RIGHT to explain how they came to that conclusion. Personally, I liked that approach. I don't like to clutter my brain with somebody's asinine reason why THEIR answer was the right one...especially when it was clear to me that that particular answer was WRONG.
Wow!!! And I thought the drama ended when I graduated from nursing school!!! LOL What a joke!!! There is something to be said workng in an all male combat unit, gee, I hope me going back Active and being an Army CRNA isnt like what I had to deal with all the drama queens in my class or the comments I read in this forum!! Thats ok though, bc i have rank I will most certainly straighten out those who are of the "drama queen" mentality!! There is no place for that on the battle field or in the Army!! Good grief women GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!
