As I attempt to take in every grain of information I can before my NCLEX -RN exam, I sit in the car with my wife and read my notes and think about what kinds of questions I will receive. This was my second time taking the test and the first time I s...

After 6 hours and answering 257 questions and running out of time, I succeeded and passed the NCLEX after my 2nd attempt. It all started in the year 2004, when I decided I wanted to become a nurse. I was well into my business career, and was success...

Has anyone tried the ncsbn program called learning extension? I would like to know how it is structured and what you personally thought of it. I took kaplan so I was wondering if it is similar to kaplan? thank you for your input.

So here i am in Hawaii and I am moving to San Francisco. I have never lived in SF and dont know many hospitals that have new grad training programs. I already know about the new grad training programs at Kaiser, Stanford, UCSF, but other than these ...

Kaplan question trainer #5 = 55%, #6 = 50, #7 = 52%...the analysis read that I am below passing on every subject except Patient care and comfort. Needless to say I did not pass the nclex on my first try and my results for the nclex read that I didn'...

If you have the blue kaplan review book there is a section in the back of the book with an awesome review of various medications. The medication is catergorized and it is easy to remember. I only studied medications with the kaplan blue book and i b...

Before the nclex, I knew every lab values by heart. I waited for any lab questions but not one.

My friends who took the nclex were confident taking the exam. They actually told me that they knew they passed without a doubt. They found out they passed 2 days later. I could have smacked them right across their faces when they told me that the tes...

honestly, quiz mode is a waste of time. If anything do the test mode and really look at the analysis. I looked at the analysis and I concentrated on my weak area's. This really help me alot. If you think about it and do test mode. To answer 100 que...

what kinds of questions did you recieve. Not specific questions but categories of questions. for example, select all that apply, priority, delegation, content based etc.

I recently passed the NCLEX -RN. I was pondering on what family and friends said to me when I was studying for the NCLEX the second time around. I felt very uneasy and anxious when people would tell me, "Oh, you will pass", "Don't worry about it", ...

I know for a fact that the saunders 4th edition cd question HAS repeat questions. Actually there are many repeat question. I gone through the saunders question starting from question 1 through 4214, so this is how i know there are repeat questions.

I just emailed everyone that asked for the notes who provided me with an email address. If you would like the notes, please include your email address when you private message me. You wouldn't order a book online and not provide the online company w...

I would highly suggest to study all endocrine know it by heart. The night before my nclex exam i had someone drill me with endocrine and they were like WOW, you know your stuff.

i will tell you now that remembering the answer is not the way to proceed with saunders. understanding the content and material is key. for instance, dont just remember that with addisons disease is a disease that hyposecretes adrenal hormones but kn...

The first time I took the nclex I mainly relied on Kaplan because of all the hype the representatives feed me while they preached about their 98% pass rate. I said to myself why not, plus they give a money back guarantee. Needless to say I failed my ...

Unfortunately my state doesn't update the BON website, so I had to wait for the mail to come which was 4 days from the date I took the nclex.

I would say answer the saunders questions as many as you can. Switch from reading the saunders book and then answering some questions. I strongly feel there are 2 things why people dont pass the nclex. One issue is lack of nursing content and the ot...

Thank you all for the well wishes. I truely appreciate it. I am letting it all sink in right now. It is kind of weird that I dont have to open my books anymore. I can just wake up, sleep if I want to, watch tv, go to the beach, work on my car, i can...

good luck on your test...but i dont think there is a nursing shortage. it is even harder to get nursing jobs now aday. my friend applying for a nursing job is up against 300+ applicant for 10 positions. what are the chances...very slim. i remember b...

zelda jane, i am sorry to hear that you didnt pass. i know how it feels since i have gone through the emotions. we all know that we can take the nclex over again. however, it is painful and very difficult for your self esteem and morale to do all th...

Where do people hear these rumors. I guess rumors are generated to either scare test takers or to mower teh anxiety level of test takers. Just like flava flav always said "Don't belive the HYPE".

I have a friend who just took the NCLEX - RN last week and she found out her results and she passed with 75 questions. I asked if she had any SATA questions and she said no, not one SATA question. The I began to ask her if she had any priority ques...

In honesty, don't rely too much on the scores you receive for your test. My friend who took the kaplan review course had 50-60's throughout her test and for the question trainer 7 she received a 53%. She took the nclex and passed with 75 questions. ...

FOr those people studying for the nclex -rn, concentrate on priority, delegation, INFECTION CONTROL, Select all that apply questions. These question were the majority of my exam but the exam still didn't stop as I wanted too. I guess I was not answe...
