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

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

    With my math calculations...I got between 4 and 5 and I'm pretty sure I only got one of those correct. I'm math phobic. If I did fail 4 of them, can I still pass?? I'm really scared. I was most...

  20. Overall scores vs. individual catagory scores for passing NCLEX

    PennyNickelDime_RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am confused about something. Is passing NCLEX determined by the overall correct number of questions OR do you have to be above 50% in all individual categories? For example, let's say my overall...

    PennyNickelDime_RN replied to shoegalRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    We are required to do ATI's at my school also. I agree that from what I have heard, ATI's are much more difficult than NCLEX. Don't feel too bummed about scoring a Level I. Just make a point of...
