thanks so much for the well wishes!!!! as far as tips goes, 1.) i too took kaplan, i didnt think my instructor was very helpful but the kaplan questions on the tests 1-7 are somewhat similar in difficulty to the ones on the actual nclex. i did all 7 test. review all the anwsers whether you get them wrong or right, i noticed that even the ones i got correct my personal rationales were different. so try to finish them all atleast 2 days before your test so you can relax. o yeah....listen to relaxing music while you are studying>>>big help!!! 2.) the next best advice i can give you is you have to relax while you are taking the test. i know this is a hard thing to do, especially when you take the test and feel like you never learned any of the material. i think many intelligent people fail the nclex because they become to anxious/nervous!!!!! i literally prayed to god before i took the test and asked him to grant me peace and serenity and i received it!!!!!! i was very relaxed even though i felt like i did not know anything and i think that it what helped me get through it and pass with 75 questions. - 2 hours later 3.) expect to get 265 questions so you don't panick if the test goes over 75, remember the more questions you get, it's sort of the computers way of giving you another chance!!! so make sure you take kaplan test 7. it took me the whole day to do it but it helps to build up your stamina 4.) somethings on the nclex that i did not expect where 2-3 herbal supplement questions and disaster triage - similar to priority.

i hope this helps.....if you want any other advice feel free to ask. good luck ... you will do great!!!!! write out your name with rn at the end serverla times a day and also look in the mirror and constantly say to yourself that you will pass....you will be a great rn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look forward to hearing from you!!!!

Your tips had been so good, have to do the two last exams in Kapplan CD, also i have access online to the videos, plus the board review 3 weeks, i considered that Kapplan teachers are not that good but the materials are so originals not available on stores, very good questions.

Melissa good look in your new job, actually i have to say that my favour hosp if Hakensack Medical center, the second on the top hosp in the Us, think about this, just opening a new Peds center, need a lot of RN, love this facility, nursing magnet institution :balloons:

hi i just saw your post. i hope you dont mind me asking you a few questions. did you like your porgram. is it hard to get into the nursing school? do they have a waiting list? is it a morning program if so what are the hours like? would you recommend this program.

i currently am taking some pre reqs at another school and i am looking to apply for the fall of 09.

thank you!
