  4. NCLEX...do you tell people before you take it?

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to oguesswhat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't want people asking me if I'm nervous about taking the test (especially as it gets closer to my date) or if I've passed it. The only people who know are my husband, my best friend and a...

  5. Near passing??????

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to totally_lost's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What study materials have you been using? When I took the NCLEX for the first time, I prepared with Saunders. Though I failed, I also got near passing in most sections. The one section I did...

    PA_CoffeeFreak posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. Saunders cd questions- what percent to shoot for

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to jewelsgirl24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I used the 3rd edition of Saunders to study, I was getting around 75% on my exams. Apparently that was not enough as I did not pass the NCLEX so I would go for 80 -

  10. Kaplan Prep Takers... What was your % before taking NCLEX?

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

    It's just been a few months since I took the NCLEX the first time around that I was worried about how much information that I retained. On my first diagnostic test I scored 56%. I thought I was...

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to kel_09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to PA_CoffeeFreak's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for your responses! This is an outpatient clinic where I will be asked to assist in surgery. Actually the very same surgeries that I did as a surgical tech. The other duties are also...

  17. This is a surreal feeling---I beat the NCLEX beast! Here's my story

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to brwnsuga83's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! To hear how you conquered your anxiety and finally passed the NCLEX is very inspiring. I just failed the NCLEX this past May and I've been so depressed. To know that it's possible...

  18. failed nclex 4 times

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to failedtesttaker's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I imagine you have quite a bit of anxiety before you take your exams. That was definitely my problem when I failed the NCLEX this past May. The hardest thing is to believe in yourself. You can pass...

  19. DEVASTATED, when will I ever Pass???

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to Kekai510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I failed the NCLEX-RN in May. It is devastating and like you I was near the passing standard. This time around I am going through Suzanne's plan. Since you already have the Saunders book I suggest...

  20. How Many Questions do you do per day?

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to SeekingSuccess's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What Suzanne said is very very true. I did 8,000+ questions before my test but I still failed it despite doing about 250 questions every day. My mistake was briefly reviewing the rationales rather...

  21. Well, that was.... weird

    PA_CoffeeFreak replied to Kiringat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  22. How much time did you give yourself to retake the NCLEX?

    PA_CoffeeFreak posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just recently took the NCLEX this past May and failed it after 265 questions. When I received my results, I was near the passing standard 7 out of 8 categories. It's frustrating to know that I was...

    PA_CoffeeFreak posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's my situation. I have never had a temporary practice permit before. I recently took the NCLEX in May but failed it after 265 questions. Would I be eligible for a TPP if I have failed the...

  24. How much time did you give yourself to retake the NCLEX?

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

    I am fully aware that being near the passing standard is not the same as passing. My point was just that being near was better than being below the standard. Knowing that I was close to passing the...

  25. Can you apply for a temporary practice permit if you didn't pass the NCLEX?

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

    I haven't decided how much time I should give myself. I am working through Suzanne's first tip but I'm a little nervous about it. (Thank God she provides that service for free.) I've read through...
