I'd also like to add to bring either small snacks or candy. Our instructors used to show up with a big bag of candy on test days. Stress robs you of energy. You can take breaks and where I took mine...
Good luck to you. I just wish I knew why the test has to be the way it is. It just seems to be from a different place than what you got in school. Shouldn't the test reflect what you got out of...
I'm here with you also. I returned to college after 20 years. The last semester was interupted by hurricane Katrina. Evacuated. Returned to see my home covered in trees. Weeks of me and a chainsaw....
Hear that NCLEX failers? You either had an off day or your school screwed up and you shouldn't have passed. You slipped through. So just in case you don't feel depressed enough, it was all your fault...
The pass rate is very misleading. It is taken from graduating students vs. those who pass NCLEX, not from those who took that first prerequisite course to those that make it to NCLEX. Those numbers...
That's a good example of the pointless kinds of questions that are only created to fail you. Most questions along those lines are things you would do anyway maybe seconds apart. Everything I read...
What you know comming right out of school drops faster than the rate you can relearn it in a review course. Do you need to prepare? Yes, but you need to understand NCLEX is not like school where if...
I would suggest two or three months tops even if you can't get all that much studying in. I took four months off while the bulk of my classmates went straight to work and took the test within a few...
If a review course is out of the question then all you can do is take another route. I took several review courses and still failed. When I sat for boards I remember asking myself where was the...
I took Nclex(failed) and have to agree that Kaplan comes closest to the actual feel of the test. The ugly truth is that there is no way to be 100% prepared. To pass NCLEX you have to better the odds....
I didn't run out of time but I did fail. I remember sitting there when my computer shut down thinking about how little the questions related to anything I had studied. It's a shame that knowledge is...
If the med is prescribed you would give it providing it's the right drug etc. When would you not provide safety for the client? This is the pointless hair splitting that fails people for nothing. I...
