If you got the NET prep book and you have practiced the questions in it, you already know what the test is like. The only part you can't study for is the reading assessment portion. You get a paragraph about miscellaneous stuff and you click next and there are questions about the paragraph. What you don't know until you are done with the test is that once you start reading the paragraph it is timing how long it takes you to read it, compared to how many questions you answer correctly.

I studied that little book every day for 1-2 hours for 2 weeks prior to taking NET...ended up with an 89 on it! I hadn't been in school in 17 years. I was making myself worry too, just rest on the fact that you have prepared yourself and that you will do your best. The great part is that as soon as you are done you get your results. You don't have to wait at home agonizing for a week or two. They give you a print out and tell you if you made above a certain percentage that you will get your call for an interview with nursing faculty.

GOOD LUCK

I am a Keiser Nursing student at the Melbourne Campus, I graduate in July this year and am SUPER SUPER excited. Look, EVERY program has its ups and downs, if you can get into a program YOU decide what kind of nurse you are going to be and HOW much you learn. Want some advice from an older, been there done that student?

Don't get caught up in the drama, where more than 2 females are in a room for a length of time, drama will ensue.

STUDY UR BUTT off, don't just study what they tell you "might" be on a test, really dig into the pathophysiology of what is happening to the body, ie. your patient.

Take time, even if it is an hour, just for you, if it is sitting in a coffee shop (without nursing books). 18 months might not seem like a long time but I am telling you by the time you get were I am, you are emotionally, mentally, pooped. I pushed myself all the time, I didn't take time often for myself, just do it, trust that.

START from FUndamentals taking NCLEX questions, you are thinking, "but I don't really know enough yet" There are NCLEX books for fundamentals, actually each of your classes. It gets you thinking about thinking. "critical thinking". I can't tell you what a difference it makes to do TONS of questions before you take the test in class. It gets your mind thinking the way nursing students need to think.

This is the updated version of the book I used....

http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Success-Applying-Critical-Thinking/dp/0803619219/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239627169&sr=1-4

The last bit of advice I have for you is simple...... Don't lose yourself or the reason you wanted to be a nurse. It is SUPER easy to get upset, nervous, and freaked about things and it takes your breath and you start questioning what the heck you are doing.... I keep and have kept a note that I wrote before I started school, when I was nervous and excited and happy (not that I am not those now, it just changes) and I keep that note in my book and I look at it when those "what the heck" moments come upon me, it is a simple reminder of WHY I am doing this.

GOOD LUCK

Hello all.....

I took the NET test today and I did HORRIBLE! I did just great on the Reading but I sucked on the math. I called myself studying fractions because I knew they would be on the test and they were, but it was adding, subtracting, multipling, and dividing fractions WITH WHOLE NUMBERS! I didn't even think about studing those types of fractions and every fraction on the test had whole numbers. There were questions like: what is 3 2/3% of 56........... WHAT? Another question was: Change 8 5/6 into a decimal. I just couldn't get them. I feel like such a failure I want to become a nurse SOOOOO bad. I work in a hospital in jax fl. I am the operator and I sit and watch all the nurses and the nursing students walk by and I want be them so bad. I get to take the test again next Tuesday, I don't know what I would do if I failed again.:sniff:

I am SOO SORRY you had such a frightful experience. Did you get the NET study book? I used it and I swear the test had the same stuff on it. Yes, there were math problems like that on the one that I took too but they are in the study book. Here is the link to one.

HERE

If you get it, only study the section of the book regarding the NET

GOOD LUCK
