Hey! I just started working as a nurse this year and I am starting out on a Med-surg/Peds Unit. I love it cause you see a variety of patients. Definitely a good med-surg basis is a must for a new nurse...6 months later I feel more confident and now w...
Be confident! Focus on the first 75 questions (take up to 2 hrs. for these if you need it). Do NOTHING the day before and get your massage that day! Have someone drive you to the testing center if possible. Do the Kaplan tests because they are the ...

Took me 3.5 years but one summer I went to summer school to get ahead by taking microbiology and physiology and statistics. I took a scholarship with my local hospital but I am fixing to start working for them so I don't have to pay that back. I di...

Another tip about the test......focus in on the first 75 questions....I told myself I would go slow and take up to 2 hrs. on those first 75. I used at least 5 noteboards.....I wrote out A B C D and eliminated them as I worked thru the question. If ...

You are going to do great! I had to take it twice and also did Kaplan my 2nd time around and had no problem. Just no studying on the day before now...try not to think about the test! Also, a verse that helped me after my 1st time failing was: "For I...

I think that discharges are way more easier to do rather than new admits...although if your sending a nursing home patient back that could take some time. On the floor I am fixing to start on they try to have a nurse be the admitting nurse who does ...

Took the n-clex today also and got 75 questions.....265 my first time. Hoping for the best.....I had my whole family praying. I finished in like an hour and forty-five minutes.....I am so nervous waiting. I want to be an RN so bad I made notes on th...

You can do it...believe! I failed at 265 too and I attribute it to stress/was out of town in a different environment taking it. I am getting a massage this week before I test and I am going to lunch with a friend and doing nothing the day before the...
Yea...I came across these same questions today on Kaplan. I think it is correct that they must be crusted over before you can return to work/school. I take the n-clex for my second time on Thursday....please pray for me!!! When do you take it?
Hey! I hate to be negative but I had 265 questions and didn't pass....it does happen so just don't freak out if it does.....I was in shock but now I am re-taking in 1 week. Best of luck to you! Remember everything happens for a reason! Trust in God...

Hi! I just graduated in Dec. 2007 with my BSN. I did an externship this Summer and had to do a presentation on one thing that hospital could change (nursing related, of course). So, I made a report sheet that I think could be pretty universally used....
