  6. Scheduling Nclex After Failing First Attempt

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

    When you fail the nclex, at least in my State you have to fill out a retest application that is only one page and send in a $15.00 fee. Then you have to go back to Pearson Vue and register again and...

  9. Those who failed on Kaplan are scaring many!

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to KCR411's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Kaplan also and had scores in the 60's on all question trainers and qbank questions and failed the first time. I don't think there is any one program that can guarantee passing. It is very...

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to caringkay RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe you mentioned in a previous post that your purchased Kaplan online? If so, it has video clips of how to walk with crutches as well as other assistive devices. Hope this

  13. I just purchased KAPLAN

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to sweetmya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just try to relax. Take your time, study hard and one word of advice, if you don't feel ready to take the exam when you have scheduled it, change your date. Trust your gut instinct. I realize that...

  14. I just purchased KAPLAN

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to sweetmya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I accept your apology. I think one of the problems is that everyone thinks the Kaplan course is a 100% guarantee that one will pass their boards the first try. That simply isn't true. I don't think...

  16. I just purchased KAPLAN

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to sweetmya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Excuse me?? I don't even know how to respond to your comment. All I can say is that it was extremely insensitive of you. Many other factors go into passing the NCLEX besides the Kaplan course. I'm...

  21. Second Time Test Takers

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

    I most certainly am going to approach studying like it is the first time. Obviously there are areas that I was extremely weak in. I used Kaplan only the first time around and even though I was in...
