    Californiadreamer replied to DIVARN82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Although it might not mean much as it could be 50-50 but my computer shut off at 75 and I passed. I too felt that I had failed. Keep your chin up and prepare for each possibility - but don't start...

  4. Priority Dates??

    Californiadreamer posted a topic in International Nursing

    Californiadreamer replied to adyhottie's topic in International Nursing

    They did this to me too and I actually had to book my appointment over the phone so I asked the guy and he said not to worry as it is a fault and does it to a lot of people. It was left as it was...

    Californiadreamer posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At the time I thought that I had failed. As each day goes by I become more confident but I can't forget how I felt at the time. It stopped at 75 so if I passed, great. But if I failed then I really...

    Californiadreamer replied to Californiadreamer's topic in International Nursing

    I do love Edinburgh!! This is home. I have lived here all my life and I will return. Maybe it is just the old saying, 'the grass is always greener on the other side' (of the Altlantic). Thanks for the...

    Californiadreamer replied to nervous_cat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Californiadreamer replied to Californiadreamer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You've made a good point Dijmart and I do agree with you but where I live, Edinburgh, we can sell our 2 bed flat and buy a 1-2 bed apartment with a pool, gym, balcony and an outside area. There are...

    Californiadreamer replied to Californiadreamer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks Silverdragon102, A 4 week wait after waiting 16 weeks for my eligibility. It's just as well that I don't have an employer standing by. Including the Visa, it could now take 2+ years. Is it...

  19. passed/failed? who knows

    Californiadreamer replied to Creamsoda's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm glad I am not the only one who feels like they wasted their time!! I could go through all my notes and the whole Saunders 3rd Ed and I would say only a tiny, tiny, tiny amount actually helped. I...

  20. Nclex-rn Math?

    Californiadreamer replied to nurse1717's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your welcome, I'm sure you'll do great. I didn't do Kaplan but Saunders really helped me. Math ended up being one of the areas I was most confident about so I was disappointed when I only got one...

  21. Nclex-rn Math?

    Californiadreamer replied to nurse1717's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No one can tell you what type of math questions you might get. You can not tell anyone what questions you had. But all I will say is learn all the formulas and conversions. Good
