1. Graduate Nurse, but treated as an Aide

   hawkswin replied to rplumback's topic in New Nurse

   Not to be harsh, but you ask what is the difference between the day before your NCLEX and the day after? The day before it's assumed you will pass based on national pass rate averages. The day after no assumptions are necessary, you've demonstrated...

2. Anyone doing Kaplain Q-bank?

   hawkswin replied to Duncan3178's topic in NCLEX

   I did the Kaplan question trainer. If nothing else, the fact that I scored > 65% on each one made me less anxious to take the NCLEX. In hindsight, the difficulty level of the Kaplan questions prepared me for some of the hard questions of the NCL...

3. How many got only 75 questions?

   hawkswin replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX

   Congrats to Shanangins, Victoria and Purp! This is just the very best feeling. I keep waking up each morning and thinking "I did it, I am an RN" I work at a facility where there are lots of LPNs. They have all been so warm and supportive. I am ...

4. I think I failed for the 2nd time

   hawkswin replied to JennyMac's topic in NCLEX

   Having just done through the agonizing wait a few days ago, I know this is hard, but I must say it anyway - don't borrow trouble. The odds are in your favor that you passed this time. Try and remember EVERYONE feels like a$$ after testing, everyone...

5. How long to get your ATT??

   hawkswin replied to Shopgirl1's topic in NCLEX

   I feel lucky. My school takes care of all of this for us. They have a little packet that they handed out in class and made us all fill out all the forms, requests for transcripts, etc right then, write all the checks and money orders, and then give...

6. Planning to take NCLEX...8 years after graduation.

   hawkswin replied to lvlytxn's topic in NCLEX

   I recommend a mix of Kaplan, Saunders and perhaps the online review people on here speak so highly of (the one through the National Council's website - there is a link some place on this board). I think it is really important for you to do a content...

7. How many got only 75 questions?

   hawkswin replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX

   Keep us posted on your results. Mine came in 24 hours through my state board of nursing website. They still haven't shown up yet on "quick results". I really feel for those in Cali who have to wait weeks.

8. How many got only 75 questions?

   hawkswin replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX

   Victoria - try and relax, I know easier said than done. I too got a 1058 on my HESI the first time I took it, a 1215 the second time (my school tested us twice), got As in school, and got 75 on the nclex and passed. Until about 12 hours ago when I...

9. this can't be good...

   hawkswin replied to hawkswin's topic in NCLEX

   Well I got the news that I passed! I sware it feels like a miracle. Everyone I talked to was pretty annoyed with me - saying "give me a break, you passed" I kept saying, "no you don't understand - I am just sure I failed. I know everyone says that...

    hawkswin replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX

    I got 75 questions and just found out I passed!! YEA FOR ALL OF US!!!! RNS kick a$$! Let's all never forget how grateful and happy we feel right now so that we always provide compassionate, non-burned out care to people.

11. this can't be good...

    hawkswin posted a topic in NCLEX

    I got 75 questions today, no med calcs, lots of priority just like everyone else has been saying. However, I got a few very basic fundemental questions. I am super freaked out that because I got some of those super easy, not even really RN-level ca...
