1. Pretty sure I failed at 75

   jcruz replied to Hawaiiangurl's topic in NCLEX

   it wouldn't be fair to yourself to ASSUME that you failed. it feels like that every time. the NCLEX is not a clear cut and paste pass or fail. everyone i know (including myself) have felt the way you felt. my advice to you is to just take a break, do...

   jcruz posted a topic in NCLEX

   dear all, finally after a couple attempts, i beat the NCLEX! i sat on may 5, with 7 SATA, 6 med calculations, 7 meds, assessment questions and a LOT of priority and delegation questions. after 2 hours and 75 questions later, the computer shut off! un...

   jcruz replied to meme75's topic in NCLEX

   meme, trust me i know how you're feeling. let's just say i have taken the test more than twice. i took it for the fourth time today. i know it's hard to hear this, but do NOT be discouraged. the NCLEX is a very hard test that analyzes your critical ...

5. question regarding failed NCLEX analysis

   jcruz posted a topic in NCLEX

   hello all, when looking at your NCLEX analysis after a failed result, does every section have to be above passing standard or can a candidate pass with some areas at near passing? i ask because i had 2 sections above passing standard, one below, and ...

7. 3rd time, no success

   jcruz replied to jcruz's topic in NCLEX

   christina7997, you are not the only one. i know i shouldn't be comparing myself to others because i am me and they are them, but it hurts to see your peers/colleagues nailing it the 1st time around while others take it X amount of times. i am hoping ...

8. ABSN vs. BSN

   jcruz replied to buckeye rosie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   if you have a choice, i would advise you to go the traditional route. i went through an accelerated program, and felt myself "rushed" through the whole experience. i had no choice, as doing the accelerated route was my last and only option. clinical ...

   jcruz replied to blkbutterfly's topic in Pre-Nursing

   blkbutterfly, if nursing truly is your passion, then do not give it up! keep pushing until you get in there. i will give you my testimony about the hardships i faced to get to nursing school: i attended san diego state university in hopes of getting ...

12. 3rd time, no success

    jcruz posted a topic in NCLEX

    after a grueling 3 week wait, i got the dreaded big envelope today. folks/peers/colleagues, please pray for me that i make it the 4th time around? i am going to give suzannes plan a try and hopefully i will become the RN i have always wanted to be. t...

13. test scores..pass or....

    jcruz replied to Leilah75_RN's topic in NCLEX

    i totally agree with you on that. i felt so confident in most of the questions, but at the same time, knew that i had a lot of them as "educated guesses". what's good for you though is that you took it yesterday and have hopes of your name showing up...

    jcruz replied to chosenchocolate's topic in NCLEX

    i personally have gone through NCSBN learning extension the first time. didn't seem to help me out so much as i failed with 75 questions. second time around, i used the kaplan review. it broadened my knowledge base and got me up to 188 questions, but...
