  1. Got 100% on my Renal Exam

    I could not believe that I got 100 on a renal exam. I am the only person who got 100% so far on a renal exam with that instructor. I am so excited. I now have a 95.5 average. This is Med Surg IV, the hardest one.
  2. I am so happy that I passed the intro to World Religions on Friday. I now completed all my electives, only have to take nursing. I Studied for two months because I heard from failing students how challenging the test was. I scored a 62 and the passin...
  3. Medical Surgical Floor from Hell

    I graduated in May of this year. I took my first job on a Med surg floor. The orientation was basically sink and swim. After the orientation, I received no check list or feedback. I have not done almost half of the skills required to function con...

  6. Nursing as a Second Career

    I just graduated from an ADN program, passed the boards in July. I am currently working as a nutritionist and a Registered Nurse. I did the ADN because it was more flexible. I could not afford to not work and pay for tuition for 3 years. I did th...
  7. Failed 2 Fundamentals tests - HELP!

    When you read the text book, pay attention to charts and dont be afraid to meet with the instructor for help.
  8. May Grads and jobs

    Most of my graduate class are working. I graduated in May from St Vincents College. I have a part time job and was asked if I wanted to work fulltime because two positions have been created. Try to apply at St Vincents Medical Center. There are ...
  9. Best time to take the NCLEX

    I took the nclex July 3rd, graduated May 15 and I passed. I wish I took it earlier, but I was waiting for my school to send my transcript. By the time I received my ATT, it was already in early June and the earliest date that was good for me was Ju...
  10. Just Failed the NCLEX

    I am sorry to hear about you not passing. Do not retest immediately. Take time to plan for the second time. Try different strategies, such as exam cram. Do 100 questions a day and go over all rationales. Review content of weak areas. When you g...
  11. Kaplan all the way!!! I like Kaplan review because it made the nclex seemed easy. I followed their plan and strategies and I passed the first time with 75 questions. Kaplan was a great investment. Highly recommend!!!
  12. I passed the Nclex RN on my second try!!! Please read to find out how!

    Congratulations!!!!
  13. Remember to stay positive, relax, do deep breathing exercise during the test, sleep well the night before, exercise, prepare your mind to stay longer, bring extra snacks, get to the place early.....tell yourself...you will make it!!! Good luck to you...
  14. Kaplan..is it worth it?.

    Kaplan worth every penny to me. The online content is great because at this point you want to focus on keypoints not detailed information. The online videos are based on frequently nclex tested information. Use the workbook while watching the online ...
  15. Just graduated from St Vincents and passed the boards on July 3. I went to the evening program. Nursing 230 is half psych and half Neuro. St Vincents passing is now an 80 and I do not know that BPT is, but I believe it is less than that.
  16. How many questions did you get ?

    I passed with 75 questions, several of my friends also passed, 92, 222, 208 and 265. Most of my class passed with 75 questions. The friend who passed with 222, actually ran out of time.
  17. SATA's and Pharma are my problem...HELP!

    You got through the tough part and the best is yet to come. I think your problem may be more anxiety than anything else. I took my boards in July and passed. The week before the test, I had major anxiety because like you I was the top of my class ...
  18. SATA's and Pharma are my problem...HELP!

    I went to a nursing where I never took pharmacology. I studied the meds by different classes and remember the bad side effects. I had about 10 meds, I knew most of them. Make sure you pay attention to meds you see on TV commercials, like Zoloft, Viag...
  19. Kaplan overall qbank score

    Kaplan questions are more challenging than the Nclex which in my opinion is good thing. Are those questions mosly knowledge? Kaplan questions are more application and analysis, which are important in order to pass the nclex. Some people do not lik...
  20. How do you know you are above the pass point?

    I passed and it was my first time. I personally did not find the exam hard at all. I thought it was easier than some exams I had in nursing school. It was more critical thinking in my opinion.
  21. How do you know you are above the pass point?

    I had not idea whether I was above passing. My main focus was to answer the questions in front of me one at a time using critical thinking. When the computer shut at 75, I had a feeling I passed. I did keep track on SATAs, 10 total and about 10 meds....
  22. You People Are Ripping My Heart Out!

    Study the meds by classes not memorize every single drugs. If 85% of people pass the first time and 50% pass the second time, means only 7.5% having trouble passing for third or more times, which mean you too can pass. Some people are not successfu...
  23. You People Are Ripping My Heart Out!

    The nclex is not a dream killer. I passed the first time and did not think it was all bad. The key is to think positive and develop a game plan. You have to tell yourself, you too will pass the boards. If 85% people pass the first time, you can p...
  24. St. Vincent's part time program any acceptances?

    I just graduated from St Vincents college, I just know of one person who passed the A&P competancy. Just like more people, I took the class, did not take the exam. Good luck to all of you!!
  25. Time expired @158 Question

    123Jeannie, I am not sure I understand you correctly. Did you run out of time, meaning using 6 hours to complete 158 questions or Did the computer screen went grey after 158 questions?
