    imhorsemackerel replied to Katbug's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow that was quick! And lucky! I got my result after the 48 hours, and it took 10 days for my BON to post my license number. I'm in the middle of an online class. The day after I took the NCLEX I...

    NCLEX in 2 days!! Help

    imhorsemackerel replied to Nargii's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed the PN exam with 85 questions. It was the weirdest thing, though. The last 20 or so questions were ridiculously easy. I actually began to panic because I remember everyone saying that if you...

    Failing Fundamentals. Help!

    imhorsemackerel replied to mzo899188's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    Do you get your tests back? Is your instructor the one that makes the tests? Have you asked the instructor for help? The reason I ask the first two questions is because when I went to school for LPN,...

    Best route to becoming RN?

    imhorsemackerel replied to DakotahSiler96's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well usually to get into an RN program you will need prerequisites and/or the TEAS. You could go for the accelerated LPN program and take a prerequisite class for the RN program. Better yet, if you...

    imhorsemackerel replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I should make an update about myself. Yesterday afternoon at 4:15 I found out I passed the NCLEX-PN. So right now I'm just treading through the swamp that is Biomedical Ethics. It's...

    Does the NCLEX have trick questions like in nursing school exams?

    imhorsemackerel replied to LotusPetals82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can't speak for the RN exam, but with the PN exam, it wasn't as tricky as my exams were. I think the SATA may trick people because they might not select an option that's part of the answer. For me...

    imhorsemackerel replied to baylakeanna's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! I just passed my NCLEX-PN. When it shut off after 85, my jaw dropped. I thought I was dreaming. The questions from around 70 onward were actually easy, and I was under the impression...

    Special Research Section and how it affects the quick results

    imhorsemackerel replied to strksns's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If that section wasn't given to everyone, then it was randomized. The reason they do it randomly is for the benefit of research. I'm assuming they'll compare your answers to your demographic...

    When did you receive your ATT?

    imhorsemackerel replied to katiebarron521's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I went for LPN, so my situation might be different. We actually got all of our paperwork for licensure early around March or so. When it was confirmed that we had all of our hours needed for the...

    Best way to utilize UWorld? By Subject/System or Random QBank Order

    imhorsemackerel replied to FireNation's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If there were a system I needed a review on, I would make the quiz filled with that system. Otherwise I mixed

    Failed my Nclex-pn 5x with 85 question

    imhorsemackerel replied to Mystery_gurl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You should probably take a reputable refresher course. After that, try UWorld and focus on the rationales. I found the Saunders book helpful

    Nclex pn shut off at 92

    imhorsemackerel replied to Kool76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have no idea. Mine was so weird. I remember everyone saying that if you get a question right, it's supposed to get harder. But questions near the end were much easier. I reviewed a lot of UWorld and...

    imhorsemackerel replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Call your BON. I graduated April 21 and called a couple of weeks ago because I never got my ATT in my email. Prior to this call, my classmates called and were told to wait a few more days, I spoke to...

    Prepping for ATI TEAS?

    imhorsemackerel replied to mittennns's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I know you're still prepping, but make sure that when you take the TEAS, your nursing program doesn't count it as expired. For the program I'm applying to, the test result expires in a year. As far as...

    Computer for Nursing School

    imhorsemackerel replied to hdreeves's topic in General Students

    I agree that having Word, powerpoint, and excel are helpful. If that's not an option, you can always opt for Google Docs. You'd just need wifi to access. As far as a specific laptop, I'd look for...

    What good does a BA in anything do for nursing

    imhorsemackerel replied to Big_Mike's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I don't have to worry about taking certain classes because I already took them when I got my BA in Psych. So I guess less stress. I also found life span development and the psych rotation easy...
