  1. Lacking Motivation to Study.... anyone else?

    I was totally burned out too. But I didn't want to take that test twice. So in addition to learning a new job as a graduate nurse and all the orientation and training that was taking place there, I...
  2. Qbank is really haRD..HUHUHU....

    I have to tell ya' that you're probably doing as well or better than I did with QBank and the Question Trainers. I almost quit using Kaplan as I was getting so discouraged. I did, however, go...
  3. UMSL or Community college

    Just to clarify -- once you get your general ed classes out of the way, you have only NURSING CORE classes left to take which vary from 6 - 11 credits per semester. Clinicals are merely a component...
  4. I need to make money

    Jefferson Comm. College has an LPN program; I'm not sure who else does -- St.Charles? But you don't get paid to attend those. And I would steer so far away from Standford Brown if you've got money...
  5. Well, I had exposure to "clearing the pumps" this week, although I'm still a little vague. I also got big exposure in training classes to "all the little things" that leave us wide open to liability....
  6. Same question 3 times on NCLEX

    I got the same med -- TWICE!! And I chose the similar "teaching" answer twice. I knew that meant 2 right or 2 wrong. From what I could tell in my med book, I chose right. But I was rather thrown...

  11. 75?'s...SCARED

    Thank you so much. I'm sure you did the same!! I read somewhere that some folks "felt" they knew. I tried to read the gals and just couldn't. They were pretty much all business much as I tried to...
  12. I Passed....after 8 Days Of Waiting In Cali

    Good luck to you as you begin this journey...it may be the most difficult thing you have ever done, but in the end, is well worth it!! Best wishes to
  13. 75?'s...SCARED

    I passed, I passed!! eire1, I felt clueless too. I couldn't imagine that I was that out of it as I had been a mostly B student in NS. I couldn't even remember all the questions I had (my brain did a...
  14. I Passed....after 8 Days Of Waiting In Cali

    I passed!! I PASSED!! I PASSED!! Oh, wow....talk about
  15. Kaplan Scores and the Boards

    I had a couple of scores in the very low 50's for the Question Trainers and maybe a 60-something % average for the QBanks. I don't know that I'd pay for Kaplan again; I think I'd spend more quality...
  16. Please Read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I won't say I found NCLEX easy because I certainly did not....several meds I had barely heard of, never mind did I know the MOST important teachings of....and while it was pretty easy to get down to...

  19. June 2008 NCLEX support group

    I'm no expert and still won't have my results until tomorrow afternoon, but my hospital emphasizes Saunders...the CD and the tests at the end of each chapter. Suzanne has a plan on here that sounds...
  20. Learningext any good?

    I had done Kaplan and also Saunders' 4th edition. I paid for the NCSBN and only really used it once or twice. In my particular situation, I wouldn't pay for it again. If you're only using one other...
  21. isolation question

    Might sound silly -- but what about Hep A? A fellow classmate and I were discussing whether this person would be on some kind of contact
  22. June 2008 NCLEX support group

    Took mine today....75 questions....not feeling real confident, but I find it hard to believe I didn't pass with that few questions. I would think that I should've gotten enough right that I at least...
  23. Is NCSBN online review course ok?

    I registered for the 3-week NCSBN....I had also taken Kaplan and used Saunders. I wouldn't do both Kaplan and NCSBN again. I think Saunders and Kaplan gave me plenty to think about, lol. But if...
