1. Grad. BSN 4 yrs. ago, 3 mos. NCLEX-RN study enough?

   lvlytxn replied to focusnclex's topic in NCLEX

   You all can beat this test! I graduated in '99 and failed once. Life happens. Long story short...I took the NCLEX for the second time in April '08, after 9 months of INTENSIVE studying and passed with 75Qs. If I can do it, y'all can too!!

2. Expect to take nclex in December after, 1.5 years AFTER graduation - advice?

   lvlytxn replied to sydney shaw's topic in NCLEX

   I graduated in '99, failed the NCLEX once and never retook it until April '08. Luckily, I passed! I felt like I forgot everything too. I started from scratch and studied for an intense, extremely dedicated and long 10 months. Start with Saunders. Rea...

   lvlytxn replied to lvlytxn's topic in NCLEX

   Oh yeah, I forgot about the NCSBN. I worked through that too after I read Saunders. It was a good review having just read up on everything. It's not expensive and it gives you questions too. They seemed easier than the Kaplan Q's. NCLEX Q's are VERY ...

   lvlytxn replied to lvlytxn's topic in NCLEX

   SAUNDERS!!! Definitely read through that. I took tons of notes on what I thought was important. Do the tests at the end of each ch. and read/understand the rationales. READ SAUNDERS, special attention to pgs 180-182 Infection control, 3rd edition. I ...

5. Help graduated 2 years ago in may!!!

   lvlytxn replied to LIZ110908's topic in NCLEX

   500 Q's a day is way too much. 100 is reasonable because you have to go back and read/understand the rationale. I read all 1,000,000,000 pages of Saunders book, twice...because I really needed too. It took me about 3-4 months just to do that. I had b...

6. Help graduated 2 years ago in may!!!

   lvlytxn replied to LIZ110908's topic in NCLEX

   I took my NCLEX-RN eight years after graduating. I failed once shortly after graduating in '99 and was just so disappointed that I refused to try again. Got married, had kids, moved to Japan, etc...etc...In June of '07, I started studying again. It w...

   lvlytxn replied to candy13's topic in NCLEX

   I think that it is quite unfair of you to ask the moderators to delete the original post. This person came here for help as so many of us have before. I think she can learn and appreciate from others stories, especially the SUCCESSFUL ones. There's m...

10. what did you score on kaplan test 7 and pass NCLEX?

    lvlytxn replied to LyndseyER's topic in NCLEX

    I scored a 59% on QT #7. I passed the NCLEX with 75 Q's. All this, after graduating 8 yrs. ago, and failing the NCLEX once in 2000. Best of luck!!

11. Darn Kaplan!!!

    lvlytxn replied to DisneyNurse18's topic in NCLEX

    I know how frustrating Kaplan can be. I wouldn't worry too much about the scores. Keep studying and concentrating on your weak areas. I scored a 59% in QT #7, 2 days before my exam. I was stunned because I had studied my butt off. I went in and took ...

    lvlytxn replied to blh0624's topic in General Nursing

    It is not too late to take the NCLEX!!!! I recently took and passed it, 8 years after graduation. I had a lot of life circumstances come at me after failing the NCLEX back in 2000. I became discouraged and taking the NCLEX was just not a priority at...

13. Pretty sure I failed at 75

    lvlytxn replied to Hawaiiangurl's topic in NCLEX

    I think more pass at 75 than fail. But it's normal to feel like you've failed after the test. It's hard! Try to relax and enjoy not having to study while you await your results.

14. feeling sad

    lvlytxn replied to lovelymar's topic in NCLEX

    Wait for your results. I think many of us feel this way after the test. Just try to relax and rejoice in the fact that you did your best!

15. i PASSED !!!!!!!! third time IS the charm !

    lvlytxn replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX

    Congratulations!!! I've been reading your posts since the beginning. You seemed really upset and angry over the NCLEX process after your 2 failed attempts. I loved how you analyzed everything, and I'm sure your T-shirts would've been a hit! I was kee...
