2. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

   Jack_ICU replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX

   Neurology is very good. NICU is better though... Good luck with your MSN NP in the future. One of my friends just became a NP last month and she already got a very good job offer ($$$$) I'll be applying to anesthesia schools after 2 years of ICU expe...

   Jack_ICU replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX

   Congrats Melinurse! Job well done! What kind of nursing are you going to do? I work in ICU (Medical Intensive and coronary care unit). I would advise you to do some kind of nursing speciality such as ICU, ER, Surgery since you seem to know your stuff...

8. NCLEX-RN today

   Jack_ICU replied to acmRN9317's topic in NCLEX

   You may be surprised about how well you did on the test. Recently most people who got 10-30 SATAs on their test passed. Don't worry about the number of SATAs you got on your test. Actually it may play in your favor. Good luck to you and best wishes!

9. 20+ SATA and fail?

   Jack_ICU replied to NativeRhythms's topic in NCLEX

   well, it seems like satas as "high level questions" subject can be a long debate. i guess only pearson vue/nclex staffs may be able to tell what type of questions satas are, and if they are high level or not. i agree with suzanne that satas may be a ...

10. What are considered higher level questions

    Jack_ICU replied to CalypsoRN's topic in NCLEX

    I agree with Eric"nurse" but I would add that (to answer the first posting of this thread question) SATAs may be high level questions. My reasoning is that the odds that you get a SATA question right are very low compared to other types of questions....

11. Took Ati Today Not Sure What Score Means

    Jack_ICU replied to momofthree's topic in NCLEX

    We used ATI at my school and the requirement was to get 71.3% to pass. I don't know the requirement from your school, but we needed to get at least 71.3% on the ATI which was the same thing as having 90% chance of passing the NCLEX the first time. So...

    Stay positive and have time to breathe. NCLEX exam as scary as it can be, it is just a test. It's all about confidence and trust you have in yourself. Tell yourself that you can do it! Spend time reviewing infection control and prioritization/delegat...

13. 20+ SATA and fail?

    Jack_ICU replied to NativeRhythms's topic in NCLEX

    Suzanne! With all my respect I have to respectfully disagree with you on the fact that SATAs questions may be high level questions. Yes those types are only a format of questions; but if you think about it, the odds that you'll get them right are ver...

15. Just got home from the NCLEX...

    Jack_ICU replied to 4ever_heaven's topic in NCLEX

    Based on my experience, I believe that there may be a misconception about SATAs. The fact that some people get many SATAs may actually play in their favor. During my test; also one of my friends had a same experience, I was getting a SATA question af...
