  1. P.A.S.S questions - help needed!

    Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks guys! I reacted the same way - assess, assess, assess! Especially as the question said 'PLANNING' care, not 'CARING FOR'. But, kudos to pinoy guy and Amy and Hebrews because according to...

  2. beware this clown

    Elleann replied to traumahawk99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hawk, you are SO right! This product IS rubbish. I know, cos I bought it! The 'secrets' are nothing more than a few tips on how to study, which we know already, plus a spiel on how to 'guess' more...

  3. How long is too long?

    Elleann replied to speedtec's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi RainDreamer - Do you remember what your 'probability of passing' percentages were on the Mosby CAT? I used it as well and got repeated 99% probability of passing almost every time - but I don't...

  4. An interim test question...

    Elleann replied to Yira's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree - # 3. This patient is the least stable of the four. # one is going home, therefore stable. # two is afebrile - therefore stable. # four is still of concern due to respiratory component, but...

  5. NCLEX grading system

    Elleann replied to Drysolong's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi there! If you follow this link to the NCSBN site, the page has three powerpoint presentations under the FAQ sections, which explain reasonably well exactly how the CAT determines if you pass or...

  6. Pre test percentage..

    Elleann replied to vermountindia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi there I have heard from many different sources that you shouldn't take the NCLEX until you are getting a consistent 75% on your practice test questions. When I started reviewing, my Kaplan...

  7. I Passed!!!

    Elleann replied to hopenfaith12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Hope Re the Mosby thing, that is what I understood too. Your "chances of passing" are rated at 94 - 99% - and that is based on the number of questions you got right that were at the passing level...

  8. I Passed!!!

    Elleann replied to hopenfaith12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is SO cool! congratulations!!!!! I'm thrilled for you! Quick question for you, if you have a moment in the midst of celebrating: I saw in another post that you used Mosby's CAT. How did you score...

  9. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

    Elleann replied to golfmontpoker's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Personally, I'm appalled at how people on this forum continued hacking away at the original poster, even after he/she had apologized for inadvertently offending the community. Being overly zealous...

  10. RN immigrating to the US, needs advice on study programs please .. :)

    Elleann posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi I'm a South African RN about to take the NCLEX. Once I pass that, I'm hoping to arrive the US sometime within the next 18 months - once all the INS, VisaScreen, Green Card etc paperwork is done -...

  11. RN immigrating to the US, needs advice on study programs please .. :)

    Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Suzanne Thanks for your input! I'll be taking my NCLEX in six weeks time, so am into the last stretch in terms of preparing. Feel like I'm doing questions in my sleep at this stage! :) But having...

  12. what's the pre nclex percentage you should get?

    Elleann replied to nurseredcalifornia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What question source does your program use, Suzanne? so far, I have used Kaplan (book), Mosby (CD and online CAT) and NCSBN (online review) for questions. I do agree with you on this, however, that...

  13. taking the nclex

    Elleann replied to nfrancis's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi there Both Kaplan and NCSBN are excellent tools. Kaplan in particular teaches you how to read the question and how to 'work out' the right answer, which will help you a lot with the priority...

  14. What would you do??

    Elleann replied to landonsles's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good for you, Leslie! You sound so positive and motivated, I am sure you will pass easily!! And pop that baby out just as easily right after!! :) But I am "alarmed" at the way the passing percentages...

  15. What would you do??

    Elleann replied to landonsles's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi there, I have just reviewed the information on the NCSBN website regarding this. http://www.ncsbn.org/pdfs/2006_Candidate_Bulletin.pdf See page 4 of this pdf - the paragraphs entitled...

  16. Writing NCLEX-RN in London

    Elleann replied to snoopyleader's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'll be there for a week, writing on 1st June. I'll be visiting family in Manchester first, hopefully seeing an old friend in Oxford next, and then I'll be staying with friends in central London...

  17. What would you do??

    Elleann replied to landonsles's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Leslie Once you have your ATT you have a three-month window period in which to sit the NCLEX. Getting an actual date depends, I guess, on availablity of dates at the test centre you plan to use....

  18. Licensure in another state

    Elleann replied to mom2michael's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks, both of you. I checked it out and now it makes sense. Neither of the states I'd be licensed in are connected this way yet, so the residency thing doesn't come up yet, but you're right - it...

  19. Anyone know how accurate the CAT mosbys test is?

    Elleann replied to loryisanurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Lory I asked the same question a couple of days ago, but it seems not many people have used this product. I had one reply and she seemed to like it but as to accuracy, I'm not sure ... I wrote the...

  20. Licensure in another state

    Elleann replied to mom2michael's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi As a potential emigrant I'm curious to know which state you live in that is looking at interstate licensure, and if you know which other states are potential participants? I've been approved by...

  21. how many months of prepration is required for nclex

    Elleann replied to zinn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Agreed, Suzanne! I'm a South African trained RN - qualified in 1978 and did post grads in midwifery and psychiatry - in those days, each post grad qualification was a year's study on it's own after...

  22. Stopped at 75 questions, and it doesn't look good

    Elleann replied to Jo Dirt's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Suzanne can you elaborate on this? WHY would those be the ones we want to see? A higher level of difficulty? Thanks

  23. how many months of prepration is required for nclex

    Elleann replied to zinn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Zinn, are you a new graduate? If like me you graduated many, many years ago, then you will need a lot more preparation that recent grads and this is hard to quantify in terms of months. The best way...

  24. Where are you from?

    Elleann replied to suzanne4's topic in General World

    Hey I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. Presently studying for the NCLEX and will be taking the exam in London on June 1st. Any other South Africans in the forum? Any one else taking the exam in the UK...
