HI all, I am currently looking for a study group in san antonio, tx. I have failed the nclex twice and got 75 questions both times. I graduated in Dec. 2007 with my BSN from the university of a&m corpus christi - located in college station. I am not sure if everyone knows but at this university the HESI exit with a score of an 850 or higher is required for graduation. I had to take this test 3 times before I passed with an 861 in March. I took the NCLEX on May 3rd and failed and got married the end of May. I retested the NCLEX on Sept 19th and failed again. I have just about every book anyone can imagine for studying. The first time I used Kaplan, Med-Surg success, Saunders and my HESI book to study. I had obscure drugs and got about 8 med questions, got 2 calculations and 2 sata. The second time I studied for about 4-6 hours a day for about 3 wks. and read the prentice halls series of books and got a review course online called ATI. This course has assessment tests for each subject and a mentor who emails me and makes sure I study and review before each exam. I vaguely looked at my Saunders book, Med-Surg Success, NCLEX review - Nursing made incredibly easy book, and prioritization/delegation book. I would like to find a local study group in preparation for the next time I take this awful exam. PLEASE REPLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE STUDY GROUP!!

i will advise you to do the suzannes plan she has helped a lot of people in ths website to pass the exam and it is free she requires you use the saunders 4th edition and do the questions in each chps if you get below 75% then you will have to read the chp but if you get above 75% then move to the next chp and hse said after you read the chp again make sure you get 90%above.that is the 1st tip then once you are done with the 76 chps you will have to email her you date of testing the type of exam you are preparing for and when you finishes the first tip.i am doing it as well but it has to be indepedent and not in group and the 2nd tip is finished in 45 days
How do I sign up or contact Suzanne for this study plan?
