  1. Would it be OK to wait for the time to run out on SATA??

    That is a very bad idea. When I took my exam, I had a ton of SATAs. Getting them does not necessarily mean you're above the passing level. It's just an alternate format question--alternate being the...
  2. Moving to NYC, need advice!

    Networking-wise, there are job fairs with the same recruiters, all looking for experienced nurses. As far as volunteering, you can certainly do that. But I've heard of people having a hard time...
  3. Some insight on passing the NCLEX

    Asteria, I think I remember doing Saunder's assessment test after I reviewed with Hurst and I got a 72%. To gauge yourself again, I would try doing another test (on every subject), on exam mode with...
  4. Some insight on passing the NCLEX

    Did you do the PVT trick? It could go either way. I think one way to gauge it is by trying to remember your last 5-10 questions. Were they high level questions? (Priority, etc.) At certain points in...
  5. Moving to NYC, need advice!

    I would strongly suggest that you reconsider moving here in NYC until you have work experience. NY currently has a huge influx of hundreds of new grads coming out of nursing schools (there are many...
  6. Some insight on passing the NCLEX

    There are some good feedback about the NCSBN review from people who used it around these boards. I would say read about the systems that you are most weak on. If you feel like you don't have time to...
  7. im taking my test march 26 2012

    My advice at this point is if you come across a question asking about a topic you know nothing about is to just review them after your practice tests. Be sure to know your lab values, infection...
  8. Some insight on passing the NCLEX

    Select all that
  9. Some insight on passing the NCLEX

    Hey. I did them in the order I listed them. So, I did the Kaplan trainers and qbank exclusively after I finished reviewing with the Saunders book when I felt confident with my content. Also, if I came...
  10. Some insight on passing the NCLEX

    My friend actually gave me a USB with old Feuer lectures. I listened to a few lectures whenever I was on the train. In my opinion, they are more intensive and cover more stuff than Hurst. However,...
  11. what should i include in my study with Hurst ?

    If you feel that you need to supplement your studies, I would also recommend the Saunders book. Just go through them one system at a time--which is probably what you're doing with Hurst
  12. Some insight on passing the NCLEX

    I completely agree. It totally overprepared me especially with tackling priority-type
  13. Isolation review 2

    Though the infection control mnemonics that are popular here in allnurses are a terrific study aids to remember precautions, I think everyone should be mindful that they aren't strictly exclusive. For...
  14. Some insight on passing the NCLEX

    haha! Yeah right. After nursing school, I don't ever want to do another paper for a
  15. Just took the NCLEX today

    So, I finally took the NCLEX this afternoon. I did the PVT trick and got the good popup that says "You've recently scheduled an exam. Another one cannot be made at this time." Is this accurate or has...
  16. Just took the NCLEX today

    Thanks! Just finished writing it now.
  17. Which BEST review to choose?

    I'd recommend Hurst if you feel that you need to review your content. I really learned Fluids and Electrolytes and Endocrine from Hurst and I was freaking happy when I took the NCLEX and I was able to...
  18. NClex X 2

    I'm sorry to hear that you failed the exam. When you took the NCLEX both times do you think that it maybe a content/knowledge problem? Did you find that you didn't know/know enough about the topics...
  19. Just took the NCLEX today

    i paid for the quick results a few hours ago. it's official!! i passed!!! i'm gonna try to write a guide later. these forums have been a lot helpful to me since i started nursing school so i feel...
  20. Pn boards on friday..tips for SATA please

    It's hard to really give advice regarding SATAs because a lot of them deals with whether or not you know if the answer choice is true or false in relation to the stem of the question.
  21. Medications on the NCLEX

    Yeah. I vaguely remember. But it was something about teaching about medication and picking which statements that would be correct. But like everyone says: know the drugs that are within their specific...
  22. I personally recommend the Saunders Comprehensive review book. If your content is weak, I suggest you take some time reviewing with the book. Having a good foundation is essential when you're applying...
  23. Medications on the NCLEX

    I had quite a few drugs when I took the exam today. I never heard of half them. The others I knew but I don't know if I wasn't totally sure answered the question right because they were SATA.
  24. Hurst Review...tell me what you think ?

    What I did was do 1 system per day. Filling out the sheets while you listening did help me keep focused. Afterwards I would do questions on that particular system with NCLEX 4000. The next day, I...
  25. Nclex help

    Sorry to hear about failing the NCLEX. For me, the way I realized that I needed to review content is by evaluating the questions that i got wrong on practice tests as to whether or not I knew anything...
