I finally decided to make an account after coming to this site almost everyday, for the past several weeks, to research nursing topics. It has helped me greatly and Thank you all for you contributions!
I recently graduated from an ADN program and I am soooo happy and grateful that I was actually able to complete it because it was the MOST challenging experience I have EVER gone through in my entire life. I have to admit, it has been extremely hard to get back to the studying for the NCLEX. It's like my brain rejects the information every time I try to pick up a book and do questions... my brain says: "oh, no not you again." hahaha.... ugh! Never the less, I know I have to prepare for this beast which brings me to this post. I was thinking... Why not challenge some of you who plan on taking the NCLEX late? March/early April 2011? What do you guys think? Maybe we can message each other here by the end of the day and share whether or not you met your daily goal. For example, I have 2 books (lacharity and Davis Q&A) and I plan on doing 100-150 questions a day until my test date. Even if I do 20-25 in increments throughout the day, the point is to do them daily. Then I will come here and share how my day went. That way we can motivate each other through this excruciating journey.
Whaddayasay huh?!?.... I plan on starting this Sunday... Let me know if any of you guys are interested, I would love to motivate and be motivated by you guys... We need to get together and tame this beast! Lets do this!!!!
Hello, and congrats to those who passed the exam. I have a question for all of those who passed....If you did Kaplan...what was your average....I've been doing Kaplan for a while and my scores are not that promising. I'm so scare and will be taking my test soon. Any recommendation? Thanks a bunch!
Hi, I averaged all the way between 40 - 60%, and passed with flying colors with 75 questions. What you need to learn is not to -for a lack of better word - freak out when you see the question and be able to use the decision tree and knowledge. Doing kaplan put me a lot at ease and there were absolutely no surprises. In fact, i was able to track my progress based on the type of questions i was getting, and when i saw myself slip a little, I would spend more time on questions to do my best to get them right.
Just keep your calm. Kaplan is a tremendous resource. Even the screen on the nclex exam looks like the one on Kaplan Q trainers. No surprises at all. o nce again....Keep calm.

Thanks vpoonia for your advise and congratulation to you. "freak out" is the exact words i would use to describe myself right now but i'll try not to during the actual test. I realize that i would have a higher score in Kaplan if i was focus and read the entire question and answer before "jumping the gun". Do you think Kaplan was harder or the actual test was harder and did you use any other resources besides Kaplan? (i'm sure you can smell fear all over my post) LOL..... Thanks again.
I failed my NCLEX the first time and decided to take the Kaplan RN Review course. Supposedly if you get a 60% on the final comprehensive exam it means you have a 90 or 98 percent (I forget which) chance of passing the NCLEX. The QT's are supposed to be harder than the actual NCLEX. I loved Kaplan and I loved those audible content review...they really break it down. Know your Meds (side effects, nursing implication, adverse reactions, etc) because it consist of most of the Test....I heard Diabetes & Parkinson is also really major. Kaplan was expensive to me being that I just finished spending all I had on nursing school not to mention took time off to study for the exam only to fail the first time.....all you can do is try again. Good Luck.
Hello everyone! I'm Cielo and I'm planning to take my Nclex-RN on December for the 2nd time. Right now, I wanted to start with 50 questions a day and then review the rationales. I'm gonna be using the La Charity and Saunder's 5th Edition. To all those who passed their Nclex or about to take the test, how did/do you study and how's your study plan? any suggestions are welcome. THank you so much! Good Luck to all of us. WE CAN DO THIS!!! wooohhoooo!!!
