  1. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Umm...ok. Anyway, for those who care, Tartuffe is a reference to being a hypocrite, if freshman college English serves my memory
  2. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    I agree...this has gotten painfully personal. Perhaps TootyFruity is not a lawyer turn nursing student afterall...perhaps she is in fact a psychology student testing our reaction to a now seemingly...
  3. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Oh snap! That is how personal posting wars begin...for all of our sakes, please don't go
  4. KAPLAN QBANK or KAPLAN textbook?

    Also-I mean there has to be a difference because the price difference is significant. Try the book and see what you think! And Saunders is good practice
  5. KAPLAN QBANK or KAPLAN textbook?

    I think that there are more questions in the Qbank...I looked at a Kaplan book but it was an old edition, and then I bought the Kaplan program. But the questions were worded similarly, I
  6. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    I would certainly hope not, but I did derive from your post that you did
  7. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    TheCommuter, are you implying then that nurses aren't particularly intelligent if they are in fact capable of "doing the job" but incapable of carrying on interesting conversation? It seems in that...
  8. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    "Working class snobs"...almost sounds like an oxymoron. Anyway, it sounds that you've already distinguished yourself from them... you sound as though you are so convinced that you are different from...
  9. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    No-not what I was saying at all. I wasn't saying that if someone can't pass the NCLEX, then they shouldn't have gotten through nursing school. I believe that a test can't predict what kind of nurse...
  10. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    Our entire society is about lowering standards. That's what we do. We invent reasons to lower the bar. I for one don't care how flamed I get on this one. Be honest and ask yourself this question....
  11. tired..just tired of preparing.

    Hi, I agree, it sounds as though you are burnt out. This seems counterintuitive, but part of preparing for the NCLEX is managing stress and not overdoing it-easier said than done I say. Anyway,...
  12. Help!!

    I agree, I don't think you're ever feel really ready regardless of how you prepare. Since you're scheduled for tomorrow, I would go ahead and take it. I think you have to give 24 hours of notice...
  13. Going out of my mind.....

    Hi, First of all, you are not a failure! Like I've said in a previous post, a test does not and cannot determine what kind of nurse you'll be. But, unfortunately, it is something we have to go through...
  14. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    Something I've heard from LPNs and CNAs with years of experience similar to yours who get ready to take the NCLEX-RN is to not let your actual clinical experience interfere with how you answer...
  15. Hi-I did Kaplan, but sine you're testing soon, it may not be worth the price at this point. Have you considered NCSBN? They offer different lengths of their program at different prices. The best...
  16. I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. Have you considered taking Kaplan Complete? I know it is expensive, but they offer a money back guarantee if you don't pass, and it really helped me. I love...
  17. 265 q's in NCLEX..

    Suzanne said somewhere that math was considered lower level questions. Wish I could remember the thread. People get all kinds of questions in different sequences....and no one sequence predicts the...
  18. I think-but its more than that. I mean, I believe that part of the pharm section includes administering and management than just straightforward memorization of medications. For example, you may have...
  19. I had 4-5 SATA and two very easy math questions. I also had 75 questions and passed. While you might see some differing of opinions on this site, I've been led to believe that likely, 75 questions is...
  20. thinking about a kaplan review or ncsbn?

    I took Kaplan and I liked it. Some will tell you Kaplan didn't help, and some, like me, will say that they thought it did. Unfortunately, there is no major review program that will make the NCLEX a...
  21. I did my best to remember the endings of common drugs...like Beta Blockers typically in LOL. Calcium channel blockers end in PINE. Steroids often end in SONE, etc. I read somewhere that there are...
  22. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    There is such a thing of overstudying, especially if you get so stressed that your studying becomes unproductive. Set a limit on the number of questions you do daily, and know that in time, your...
  23. NCLEX officially nervous despite HESI scores

    Hey-I know how you feel. Despite my passing HESI scores I was convinced that it wasn't enough, and I wasn't ready. I really don't believe you ever feel completely ready, but sometimes you just have to...
  24. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    I'm sorry to hear that you are so distressed. A lot of pressure is placed on the NCLEX, so it is no wonder that students stress and fret. I'm not familiar with the livescan, and my state has quick...
  25. Math questions on NCLEX

    It sounds as though she did it correctly-although I would have to see the
