    Test taking tips

    IrishIzCPNP posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here are some things I would like to pass on... For every question...read the question, read the answer, go back and read the question again and point out in your mind exactly what they are asking....

    Test taking tips

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

    One more thing.... I don't think you can "study" for NCLEX. I do think you can PREPARE for NCLEX. Prep is knowing how to take a test, understanding how things apply in the nursing world (not the ins...

    22 SATAs! and done at 75! oh no!

    IrishIzCPNP replied to posh1104's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's kind of similar to what I had. I had a lot of SATA but I don't know the exact number but it was a good part of the test. I had 2 math calculations. The rest was pharm, infection, priority...

    IrishIzCPNP posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Crazy! I never would have thought that the nursing boards could take less then an hour and only be 75 questions. It wasn't bad taking it either. The drug questions were awful because I never...

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

    When I left I was in such shock. The screen went blank and it felt like forever before it told me I was done. I think I then sat there for a while thinking "oh ****". I kept telling myself that I...

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

    They say you can't know but it seems like most people who turn off at 75 do pass...but it's certainly no guarantee. I knew that if I failed it was because of pharm. I figured it may have decided I...

    Thank you! I realized that after I sent it through. I'm no longer a stay at home mom or a student. I'll have to think of

    Pearson Quick Results...

    IrishIzCPNP posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So I'm not so sure what the point is for some states. I know people who found out on the state website they passed and Pearson still says their results aren't available. Is it possible Pearson Quick...

    Will it fail you quickly if you aren't good in 1 area...

    IrishIzCPNP posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So if I failed it's because of meds. I feel good about the math and the other stuff. The meds were awful. I learned maybe 2 of them in school, only one was on TV and the rest I not only had no clue...

    Just took NCLEXRN/ton of Sata

    IrishIzCPNP replied to TraciRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My take on it...there's no way of knowing until the results are in. I thought the SATA were overboard. When I left the room I told the proctor that either I'm REALLY stupid or I'm pretty darn good....

    Just finished nclex rn today

    IrishIzCPNP replied to JamericanRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are lucky with the drugs. I not only had only 2 drugs I heard about in school the others were meds I NEVER heard of. I had NOTHING from TV. I had to guess at most of them. I didn't even get...

    I need some feedback concerning my readiness

    IrishIzCPNP replied to iloveclay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think anyone will really be able to tell you that you are ready or need more time. The one piece of advice I can give you...forget what experience you have in your own personal health. You...

    NCLEX review discrepancies?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to It's Alisa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Real simple...the LPN isn't about to do an xray. I personally wouldn't pick x-ray. There's no guarantee that you would really be able to see the end unless it's weighed. The radiation isn't...

    Saunders Question

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

    I do have a lot and something has to go back. I was in the store, didn't know what I wanted, bought a bunch with the plan to return something. I won't have any free time on my vacation. The free...

    Saunders Question

    I'm wondering what kind of scores one should receive on the Saunders practice test in the book and CD (I haven't had a chance to look at the CD yet so I don't know how it's set up) to feel good about...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PEBBLES1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Remember that variable decels happen with any cord compression...it's not always a prolapse. Since variables can be okay and a prolapse is an emergency...it's important to realize that it's any type...

    I really can't change the date. I start working on September 22nd (that can't change...I was set to start in October and they moved it up) and I want to have it done before I start. If I fail I will...

    failed nclex 4 times

    IrishIzCPNP replied to failedtesttaker's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No offense but I hope you aren't working as a nurse now. If you hate it that much you really should move on and find something else to do. Nursing is a commitment of your mind and body...you need to...
