2. personal statement....ugh

   MelRN80 posted a topic in SRNA

   Yuck, I have no idea what to do about my personal/goal statement. I have a rough draft where I start out describing a conscious sedation procedure and how I had to monitor the patient and that's how my interest arose. But does that sound dumb? Should...

   I am nervous about asking my manager for a letter of rec. She is barely out on the floor and it seems that the last time someone applied to CRNA school was 2 1/2 years ago before she was manager. I'm not sure how she would take the news, RN's have be...

   MelRN80 replied to MelRN80's topic in NCLEX

   I want to see it b/c I would really like to look at the areas that said I was "below passing". One of the areas was pharmacology which of course includes the med math questions. I thought those were super easy...but since I was "below passing" what i...

9. Can you see your exam if you fail?

   MelRN80 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I was just reading the pamphlet they give you before you take your exam. You know the red one from NCSBN. It says in the back that if you fail, some boards of nursing allow you to view your exam to see the questions you got wrong. I am unable to cont...

    MelRN80 replied to pie123's topic in NCLEX

    I used the Mosby CAT but I found that the questions weren't similar. I took it a few times and did well on it. I also did well (or in the "passing range") on my Kaplan test. I'm so annoyed!!!!! This time I'm still going to study but I'm going to try ...

    MelRN80 replied to pie123's topic in NCLEX

    Pie, You and are are sort of in the same boat. I failed twice as well and I am not sure what to do. I took Kaplan and I felt that it was very beneficial. I feel like the questions were sort of similar to the NCLEX. It seems like all the other review ...

    I took it for the first time in November, in MI you only have to wait 45 days, so I took it again for the 2nd time on Tuesday and failed. I hope that clarifies . ~ Melissa
