    KimberlyRN89 replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Failed three tests

    KimberlyRN89 replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    What helped me was buying a nclex review book & reading the chapters in there that pertained to the particular system we were covering. Then I took the practice tests. I may be the odd one out,...

    New Grad States & Relocating

    KimberlyRN89 replied to jeangarc18's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Since I've been licensed, I've gotten calls for interviews in WV & NC. I'm in the DC Metro area & it's bad. Somehow I think they're giving preference to those that are out of state?

    Hiring new grads without interviewing them in person?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to mpgj83's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have a interview in North Carolina this week, so maybe to some degree this state is a bit more "new-grad" friendly than the others. However, I agree with you concerning South Carolina,...

    Kaplan Review Phase 1. Need suggestions!

    KimberlyRN89 replied to atom2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed nclex last month and my scores were never at "Kaplan's standards". I feel that if you are above 50% than that is okay. But I do suggest going over content. I found my scores were low because...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Kamryn10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats RN! I used Kaplan because our school got it for us, but i did not solely rely on them. Like you, I used Saunders and PDA as well. Both excellent resources :) I didn't use NCSBN 3-wk course...
