hi everyone!! my name is serena and i am finally a registered nurse!! i feel like i've been waiting forever to say that. haha
i took the nclex-rn a week ago and it shut off after 75 questions. this was my second attempt. the first time i tested back in august, it shut off after 76 and i, obviously, bombed it.
the first time i only used saunders 4th edition and i basically procrastinated until the last two weeks. bad idea.
the second time around, i tried kaplan since all of my friends were successful who used it. i did all 7 questions trainers, and about 40% of the qbank.
the questions were difficult on kaplan .. so much so that after i left the nclex my second try, i was sure i failed because the questions seemed so easy. ha, easy. yea right.
first and foremost, thank you god and thank you jesus! thank you allnurses.com for all of the support. it really helped me get through my first failure and motivated me to try again.
i will continue to pray for those who are waiting for results and those who are preparing to tackle the beast!!
remember, you can do it!!!

I have failed my boards now twice and am looking for ways to review for the third time. I have started suzannes plan but I have heard mixed things about Kaplan review but I was thinking about taking it. The kaplan review you did was that the one online or was in one in a classroom you went to? Thanks
Congrats on passing! I'm sure it is a great relief!

Hi there, I did the review in classroom and online but found all of the online material the most helpful. The qbank and question trainers are essential!
Hope this helps. .. Kaplan worked WONDERS for me :)
