2. ADHD and taking the NCLEX? Help!

   emsspeedracer replied to crunchymomx3's topic in NCLEX

   I don't have it, but my husband does and heaven forbid he have to sit through that thing!! That being said, keep in mind you are allowed breaks during the test. Just keep your clock counter in mind. Even if you have to set a schedule of breaking fo...

3. I feel like giving up

   emsspeedracer replied to Michaelrocks's topic in NCLEX

   I felt the same way....BELIEVE ME!! I took it on the first, and on the 3rd found out I failed. I thought I was a failure to everyone including myself. I told myself I didn't deserve to be a nurse. But ya know what? That day, I filled out my re-t...

4. Any hope for us non-Kaplanites?!?!

   emsspeedracer replied to LittleWing21's topic in NCLEX

   I know a few that took the nclex right after school and passed. Some other of my classmates took the course and were actually disappointed in kaplan. I think it's good as far as teaching some strategies, but was also disappointed in its overall "re...

5. Distance Learning or On-Site Lecture for Anatomy?

   emsspeedracer replied to txgirle's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've done both, and it really depends on how you learn and discipline. I enjoyed distance because I could do it when I got done with work, and was nice and comfy in my jammies. Drawback? You have 3 children and I don't. If you think too much of "...

7. 75?'s...SCARED

   emsspeedracer replied to Italia13 RN's topic in NCLEX

   I can give you some of Florida's standpoint.... I cut off at 95, and sadly failed.......BUT.......I think I set the bar as the only failing person in my class so far. I had some extenuating circumstances too. Everyone else in my class has passed at...

8. How many days for Suzannes plan for retest takers?

   emsspeedracer replied to SeekingSuccess's topic in NCLEX

   Sorry. As a new user to this website and just hearing about this program, I was just curious. I'm assuming that, if followed to the letter, it has a reletively good success rate on retake? As I'm sure you can understand, being a retaker is a littl...

9. Are Students Protesting HESI??

   emsspeedracer replied to 2btmanrn's topic in New Nurse

   A few schools in Florida heard from students about the HESI. It was mainly due to the fact that the curriculum didn't include the HESI as part of the student's grade. It was not until our practicum, that they were told it would count as part of the...

10. How many days for Suzannes plan for retest takers?

    emsspeedracer replied to SeekingSuccess's topic in NCLEX

    I'm just curious. Does anyone know what Suzanne's plan entails? I know you have to do some questions, but does it involve other things? Just curious....

12. Tomrw NCLEX-RN wish me good luck!!

    emsspeedracer replied to 2008el's topic in NCLEX

    Good luck to everyone on their nclex exams. STOP STUDYING if you are going tomorrow. Get a good night's rest, and go to bed early. Trust me, I've been through it. Even going to bed early, I tossed and turned, but it would've been worse had I stay...

13. failed nclex

    emsspeedracer replied to 102985's topic in NCLEX

    I graduated from school on May 3rd. I had two surgeries, and was going to be out on medical leave, so I thought "great, perfect timing to study for nclex". WRONG!! I didn't stop to realize exactly how much the surgeries would take out of me. Even...
