I don't know anyone that failed at 85 questions except once I read about a poster on this forum that failed at 85. I took an ATI course and my instructor told me that she has never had a student have...
I got the Review Saunders NCLEX PN book at the start of my school year. It helped me study for tests and prepared me for the NYCLEX. I have also heard great things about Kaplan....
Do as many practice questions as possible :) Its normal to be nervous. I cried on my way to the test. I have never been a great test taker but I did pass the first time. Stay positive. Best
I attended a trade school and we had no prerequisites. We just had to pass a general test that was fairly simple. We also had to go through an interview process and that was more intense because spots...
Many people pass on the second time around..One of my good friends did not pass the first time but sure did pass the second time. It sounds like you studied a ton and I think sometimes you can over...
You live in NY so you can take it as many times as you need. I also know of someone that it took them 6 times before they passed it. It really sounds like you may have test anxiety I would honestly...
I had NO background at all. I was a 17 year old homeschooled student and it seemed like everyone in the class had some sort background. They were CNA's or students that had failed out of RN school...
I am so sorry....I watched my big sister go through grief when she lost her best friend in a MVA. Please don't give up though...Ask yourself would your friend want you to give it up??? Do it for...
INDEX CARDS..IN BULK!!! This was my greatest study tool. I bought them in bulk at Sams Club...You will use them over and over again. I also used the Saunders Review for the NYCLEX..Kaplan is good too....
Best Wishes in finding the job you want :) I know how hard it is the first time out. I looked for a month with rejection then all of the sudden the offers came all at once. I was torn between the VA...
Hi, I am a new LPN and have worked at a doctors office for 9 weeks. I like it but have decided I really want to pursue my RN. I want to go back to school in the fall at our local college but would...
Dear Pagandeva, Thanks sooo much for taking as much time as you did to respond. I have learned to plan ahead. The fact that I still live at home is a big factor for going back to school full time...
Thanks Angela :) I am ready to pursue school full time and get all my pre-reqs out of the way and then I may move at a slower pace. It will take me a full year to get them done. i still live at home...
I don't think its fair they put that much stock into the ATI's. The ATI for me was much harder than the nyclex. We had many people bomb the ATI'S but go on and pass the boards on the first try. It...
I know how you feel, I was REALLY scared too and it did not help that I am 18. I wondered how I would be treated and the whole beginning a new job because there is sooo much you learn outside of...
I struggled in school too and I was terrified to take the nyclex. In fact on the way to the test I was crying because I was so afraid I was going to fail. My sister who did much better in school than...
It's true some do fail at 85 but it seems that much more pass than fail with 85 questions. I had 85 and passed and was so scared I failed. The waiting is not fun but at least its only 48 hours. I am...
I know how you feel. I went through the same thing trying to find a job and began a thread just like this because I felt so frustrated. But I just kept trying and trying. The funny thing is one day I...
waiting a whole month would be rough. I had to only wait 48 hours...and I went nuts. Well just try to keep busy because no matter how much you worry it won't change the results. I know thats not much...
I make 12.00 hr in a doctors office which is not much...but I am a new grad, young and just passed my boards in Oct. so I know I have to pay my dues before I make a higher pay scale. I work in a VERY...
