    There are several of us soon-to-be-nurses out there who are taking the NCLEX today 6/21. We have worked hard for YEARS for this day to finally arrive. It is time to show this thing what we've got.......

  5. how to study SATA questions

    CaptScrubs13 replied to honeyortar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've never seen a SATA that only had ONE of the choices as an option. We were told by one review that NCLEX would never make the selection only 1. They also said it is rare to have it be all of the...

    CaptScrubs13 replied to ginar1274's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi ginar1274, I take mine on the 21st as well, and feel EXACTLY the same. Pharm and SATA are stressing me out big-time. I did the Saunders Review book on my own over a period of 6 weeks, plus...

  9. My review log for NCLEX-RN exam.

    CaptScrubs13 replied to missnoc360's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ohio, Thank you! My review instructor highly recommended taking the 24 hrs prior as "off" time. No drinking (not even 1 glass of wine to relax!), no partying, just take some time to turn off the study...

  10. Comprehensive review books: Saunders, Mosbys

    CaptScrubs13 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've been reading a lot recently that many find Saunders review ?s too easy, and not difficult enough to prepare for NCLEX. I did the entire Saunders books over 6 weeks, ranging 70-80+% on the...

    CaptScrubs13 replied to missnoc360's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CaptScrubs13 replied to missnoc360's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did my comprehensive exam for Saunders today, scored 73% .. Not bad but I would've liked it a little higher. Did 75 additional questions today in smaller chunks, scoring 75-85% on those. I am working...

  13. NCLEX Scoring - Need some REAL advice.

    CaptScrubs13 replied to SftballbabeE09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP, I've yet to take my exam so I don't have first-hand knowledge about PVT, scoring etc. But based on threads here on AN, I haven't ever seen anyone report a "false negative" in which they got to the...

  15. question

    CaptScrubs13 replied to maia718's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would say neither; monitor the K level but definitely don't encourage K-rich foods/intake (predisposed to hyperkalemia b/c no K is lost w/ Aldactone) but I don't think it'd be appropriate to tell...

  17. What would/did you do? Content or Questions??

    CaptScrubs13 replied to MissRnToYou's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was told to spend the first half of your study time (say 2 weeks if you plan to study a month before taking) you should do 2/3 reviewing content and test taking strategies and 1/3 questions and...

  22. Strategies and Practice for "Select all that apply" questions

    CaptScrubs13 replied to *4!#6's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I do practice SATA I read the question part twice, to be sure what they are asking - do they want to know things that are correct, or wrong? You know, it might say something like the RN goes over...
