I was given my license in february of this year. The next time I have to renew my license is next year. Is it true that I don't have to take a CE course (30 hours) to renew my license for the 1st time? (this will be my first time renewing). Thanks!

For heaven's sakes, DO NOT WEAR A SUIT TO A NURSING INTERVIEW. This is way overboard. Hop yourself on over to Mervyn's and buy a business-like long sleeved (with collar) shirt, some complimentary khakis, and a pair of decent black shoes. But whatev...

what books (materials) did you use? do you thin one book is enough? saunders 4th edition (about $40 bucks from b&n) how many hours per day did you study? 1 or less how many questions did you answer per day? sometimes 100, sometimes much less, de...

If you mostly had prioritization then that means you were doing quite well! I chose my answer like this 1. airway first (any breathing problems? stridor? hoarseness? tripod-positioning, c/o of breathing, etc) 2. hypovolemia/decreases in LOC. Any t...

Well, my name was on the California BON this morning! Hooray! Like so many others, I didn't really believe this so I had to call my dad in the room to help me verify. It's a really good feeling knowing that I never have to take the test again - espec...

Is this a 1st semester class? usually this is the time to "get the giggles out". They'll grow out of it (I hope). I'm a guy and I must admit, I was a little immaturre in the beginning. During our first semester our instructor brought in a male mani...

No. This does not mean you failed. Good luck.

I'd recommend saving your money by going to Barnes and Noble and buying the Saunders review and studying the CD. I used it and passed with 75 questions

I'm not even sure why you bothered to post this? Who cares? But on a side note, one of my classmates finished the NCLEX in 19 minutes, so there!

Well, don't give up whatever you do! If anything, having already taken the NCLEX puts you at a advantage because you know the type of wording they go for ;-) I'd recommend doing practice questions (try Suzanne's plan?) and studying the rationales. Pe...

I received 2 medication calculations on my NCLEX this past week. Both of them had pounds to kilograms conversions, and neither of them converted to whole numbers, they were all like 25.84578kg (just as example). Does anyone know if there is a "range ...

Someone already mentioned this on here, but be prepared to read a LOT. I mean a LOT. Not only do you have to read it, but you have to study it, sleep with it, and think about it, and memorize it. 95% of exams came from the chapters - and not the lect...

Just curious, what type of question did you get for the last one on your nclex? Was it a general multiple choice, a priority? a SATA? Do tell! (and whether or not you passed)

I took the NCLEX last wednesday and it stopped at 75. I failed. I just know I did. But look on the bright side, at least I can retake it again in only 45 days! :)

Opps sorry guys. I wasn't looking for the content of the last question, just the type of question; for example, priority. or general, or sata. thanks.

On my nclex, i received two identical questions and answers. I knew the answers to both. My question: are these definitely just for "testing" purposes to see if they're good questions, or are these actual scored questions? Or could it be either? M...

Do the PearsonVue proctors (the people working the computers, watching you, etc) know your results after you're completed? I think I'm a little paranoid because the lady that was working the computer said, in a very somber voice, "good luck to you."...

Just curious, how many priority questions did the recent NCLEX takers (within a few years?) get on your exam? 2? 5? 30? I got like 7 or so (test stopped at 75). It this a bad sign?? Thanks.

Well, I took the NCLEX today. The computer shut off at 75 questions. I am almost certain that I failed. I seemed to get several infection control questions (they can tell I don't know this!), and I only got several priority questions. In looking ba...

Here's how I remembered to do these questions. Make a ladder with the biggest value on top, and the smallest value on bottom, like this: Kg Grams Mg mcg If you go "up the ladder" (if you want to convert mcg to mg), you move the decimal point to the L...

I had two medication calculations on my NCLEX. Is there "leeway" in the answers that they accept? For example, if you convert pounds to kilograms, and get some funky number like 23.37587, the answer you get using 23.3kg is going to be different from...

Highly doubt it... I didn't get many of those priority questions For those of you who did pass recently, how many priority questions did you get (an estimate)?

1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? 75. 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? Suzanne's plan. 3. Did your SON offer any testing (ERI, ATI, HESI)? What's SON?? 4. How long did you wait for results of the tes...
