Hi everyone! I’m going to be taking intro to neurotoxins and dermal fillers through National Laser Institute soon. I’d love to hear from any RN’s who have been through this program. I cannot seem to find any authentic testimonials from RN’s. All I can see is reviews on their laser program and any RN reviews I have found have been posted directly from NLI. I’d like real honest opinions from anyone who has been through Botox or dermal fillers course with NLI. I just want to make sure I am choosing a good program. Also if you have any other recommendations or tips (Even on other programs) I would greatly appreciate all of the info I can get. I’ve looked into Dr Russo who I hear is great but his courses are very expensive.

I posted a thread about my passing the exam for the 3rd time @ 265 questions. I took it the 1st 2 times bf my wedding and I was just so stressed out and was just trying to get it over with and I did not pass. The 3rd time I took it was 2 mos after my wedding. I got the whole 265 and never expected to pass but I DID and you will too. I honestly did not study too long. For only about 2 weeks bf the exam I studied for about 2-4 hrs a day. I read the Kaplan book that I got when I took the course. It was very helpful but I only had enough time to get through about 1/2 of the book. The facts in it help a lot. Also, I used a workbook called, "Prioritization, Delegation & Assignment". That was also very helpful. Besides that I used the CD-ROM from Lippincott and to tell you the truth I was only getting like 60's on those quizzes so for anyone who tells you that you need to get 75% on the practice quizzes to pass the NCLEX, that's obviously not always the case. Honestly I think I was more relaxed this time and that is what helped me to pass. Also, I changed my plan of studying the 3rd time around. Like I said, I never thought I would pass but I did. Just hang in there and no matter how many times it takes you have worked too hard to ever give up. You can and you will do it. Keep me posted and let me know if I can help you out at all.

Thanks Everyone for your responses. Best of luck for an AWESOME 2008!

Hi Everyone: I took the NCLEX 3 times before I passed it. The 1st time I took it I got 75 questions and failed miserably; 2nd time 87 questions and 3rd time all 265 and passed. There was no way I ever thought I had passed and was already devising a new study plan. When I saw my results I started to cry and then scream. Still can't believe I passed but it can be done. If you are taking it for the 2nd, 3rd, even 10th time, don't give up. You worked so hard and have come this far. You can and you will pass! If I did it anyone can! The 1st 2 times I took the exam was the 2 months before my wedding so my head wasn't in it. The 3rd time was 2 months after my wedding where I took extra time to relax and study and to clear my head and I guess something clicked. Best of luck to you all!!! And congratulations to all of you who have passed already!

Thanks so much! Can I do this even though her sticky is locked?

This may be a stupid question but I am looking to follow Suzanne's Plan. I looked up the information on her sticky and she says to contact her by pm only....what does pm mean???? I just took the exam for the 2nd time and I failed again. I really don't know what else to do so I figure I'd give Suzanne's Plan a shot. Thanks!

Congratulations!!!! That is great news. I took the NCLEX this morning for the 2nd time and I am freaking out because I know that I too answered the last question incorrectly so I am happy to hear that by your story there is hope! Congrats once again....you deserve it!

Do you know for sure if you got your last question right or wrong???? I just re-took it today for the 2nd time and I know I got the last question wrong and I had somewhere bewtween 80-90 questions...it shut off before I checked. And CONGRATULATIONS to you!!!!
