  1. Are Students Protesting HESI??

    studymom39 replied to 2btmanrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your school has options other than making someone repeat more school. Schools can use Hesi in ways it was not intended. Too bad there isn't some kind of remediation or something. Sometimes it's...

  2. failed the NCLEX twice and feeling like a failure :(

    studymom39 replied to bebe0586's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If the feedback tells you areas to improve, I imagine that's the starting point. It sounds like you were

  3. The Nursing Math Thread

    studymom39 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    There are different methods for math, pick the one you feel you're most competent on and stick with it from start to finish. I, for example, prefer the dimensional analysis way (like what you learned...

  4. Has anyone ans. 265 ?'s for NCLEX and passed

    studymom39 replied to daya512's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you go to the NCSBN website, it explains the CAT testing by a powerpoint and how it's graded. A classmate of mine just took the nclex and had 265 questions and passed. She scored a little over...

  5. Hesi

    studymom39 replied to kind-hearted08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Practice higher level questions, like prioritization in LaCharity book. I felt like it was assumed that you know the nclex prep books, but applying it is the test style. There are some easy ones but...

  6. Are Students Protesting HESI??

    studymom39 replied to 2btmanrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Our meds publishing reviewer told us that Hesi is used for the school's accreditation. I don't know how all this works but that's what we were told. Hesi can be used outside of its intended use. My...

  7. Are Students Protesting HESI??

    studymom39 replied to 2btmanrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Schools use Hesi in a lot of ways and I don't agree that you shouldn't graduate but you can pass Hesi. I know the anxiety is focused on that test, which you describe as a deal-breaker, but you can...

  8. How many of you scored >900 on HESI, didn't pass NCLEX the first time

    studymom39 replied to exairex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After passing NCLEX in 75 questions, I definately think the NCLEX measures critical thinking more. My test questions were significantly, significantly harder on NCLEX overall. The prioritization...

  9. Ncsbn

    studymom39 replied to sweetmya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I only purchased the $49 access for 3 weeks. I did the entire thing in terms of questions. There are prioritization and new format. The one thing I did like about it was that questions were grouped...

  10. Overall question

    studymom39 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Everyone reports what works for them and I'm raising the question as to whether one has to pay into a Kaplan program. Our meds pub review was done by a woman who writes questions for the boards, and...

  11. Overall question

    studymom39 replied to studymom39's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If anyone is interested, Medical Mysteries, abc, tonight, has Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome coverage. It's a condition that is in my family and I am passionate about educating people on it. For...

  12. HESI CD scores vs actual HESI test scores?

    studymom39 replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Students

    You should definately do the cd because every Hesi test has some questions from the cd. The score was not indicative of what I got on mine. I think I took some tests on the cd and got a 70% and...

  13. Overall question

    studymom39 replied to studymom39's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How long does it take from being posted by Pearson as passing to being posted with an RN license for the state? My friend had his on Monday morning and he took his test on the Thursday before. I,...

  15. Best way to study meds!

    studymom39 replied to lacool's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To study drugs - you must know the sympathetic vs. parasympathetic stuff, adrenergic, cholinergic, etc. If you get one down, the rest can be logiced out. Core Concepts in Pharmacology by Holland is...

  16. I failed at 265 I am NUMB

    studymom39 replied to momofthree's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mom of three - at least you can say "why" you didn't pass (not studying). Therefore, studying is the remedy for the next time. Good

  17. Overall question

    studymom39 replied to studymom39's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks...I already posted somewhere on this site but I did pass with 75 questions. I left feeling fairly positive but in 2 days had convinced myself I failed. I did not buy into any Kaplan program or...

    studymom39 replied to NHGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed afterall...low and behold. I walked out feeling good about my performance in that I'd given my best but by day 2 of waiting for results, I had convinced myself I'd failed. My kids quickly...

  20. Getting NCLEX Questions Identical to Studied Questions ????

    studymom39 replied to JoAnna McNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did many books too and I thought about how I'd prepare, if I failed, and having had the experience of taking the nclex one time to gage it for the second time. I don't know how I'd prepare. My...

  21. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    studymom39 replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For the girl who wrote the long email about the pressures from family, you know, I hope you can see who was there for you and who wasn't. Your email was very honest and it's how we all feel to some...

  22. What should I be shooting for? (NCLEX related thread alert)

    studymom39 replied to The_umph's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for taking the time to talk... I think the sata thing should be something we get to the bottom of in this online circle. Right now it's hearsay. Common sense tells me it SHOULD be a heavier...

    studymom39 replied to gennifergen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    studymom39 replied to NHGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To answer your question as to how many sata's I had - I lost track, it felt like 1/3 of the test. I had 75 questions. My meds were even in sata format. Not bad enough to get meds, but meds with...
