So, very odd & random question....Some people I know who are RNs and friends say that the NCLEX is easier in some states than others. I am completely 100% positive that is false....? I know there are different rules & regulations for each s...

Has anyone done the ncsbn online learning extension???? I dont know if I should purchase that or only do Suzanne's plan???? Any ideas?? Thanks!:nuke:

I agree almostnurse1983....it greatly depends on where you live & what speciality you are going for.

That is true, there are many RNs who work in docs offices; that I know at least!

Hey Ya'll....I recently took the boards this past friday 7-18-08, I failed. I graduated school May 12th, 2008, & I started studying my little butt off. I used Kaplan...then switched to ATI because I felt I needed better review of material...wel...

Thank you for the support & advice ) I appreciate it!

Thank you. I will look into that & see how the book is. I am just freaking out b/c I know I need to pass the 2nd time around & I just dont know if there is anything to really 'prepare' anyone for the NCLEX...b/c when I went in there, my mind...

were you the type of person that was able to not study too much in school & did awesome on tests? it seems like it! :nuke: i really had to work my butt off in school & then got good grades, but i feel like i forgot 1/2 the material. i won't s...

Thank you so much!! ) :cheers:

Thank you Suzanne! Do you specifically want Saunders 4th ed? Or is it O.K. if I use my Saunders 3rd ed? Also, with your plan, do you suggest to take the NCLEX again at the exact 45 day mark when were a loud to test again or extend it a bit further? ...

Thank you! That helps! I did use Kaplan and thought it was decent. I've done at least over 1,400 questions and I always review over the rationales. My social life was put on major holt for the last 2 1/2 months! I was really excited & Hoping to ...

did you only do Suzanne's Plan?? Did you do NCSBN online at all???? What Saunders book did you use??? I have the 3rd ed...u think that is ok instead of the 4th ed?? I really dont want to spend another $55! I took my test on the 18th too, but failed f...

Hey Jack! Quick question for you.... First off, CONGRATS!! ) Second off....I see you used the NCSBN Online review...did that help you a lot?? I recently graduated in May 08 as well and just took my test and found out today I failed....Quite depressi...

I actually just took my nclex friday & i had a test that sounds exactly like yours! its so nerve racking!

Also, Has anyone done the ncsbn online learning extension???? I dont know if I should purchase that or only do Suzanne's plan???? Any ideas??

Just stay positive! im in the same position! We have to relax & be positive! )

I definitely feel like it depends on how you were prepared in nursing school & how your study habits are. I started ATI but hated it...for me it was a lot of work & I didnt have the time....studying 7hrs a day for 6 days a week! Kaplan wasn'...

Also try distinguishing drugs from their groups and learing what has -olol & -sone .... that helped me...But definitely the list given above are used very often....also those websites are pretty neat!

I have a question. What is the HESI? I heard so many nursing students talk about how their school made it mandatory for them to take it. Our school offered ATI & mandatory to do Kaplan. Personally I thought ATI was a waste...Too much studying...

I think it can help because it will give you experience. But on the other hand, you have to watch out how much you work as a GN intertwining study time. I work as a GN now and it can become difficult at times when you come home. I work 12 hr shifts ...

Congrats!! What types of Questions & material did u have?

This is a stupid question, but was does "PM" mean?? A lot of people put that on here and I have no clue what it means....Also, How do you e-mail people?? To get a hold of Suzanne, I have to have 15 posts to threads to be able to e-mail her....? Is t...

Don't feel scared...I know it is normal, but I have at least 5 friends who JUST took it and got all 265....They all passed! So no worries!

Ilovenursing08 --> That very well could be. I did study a lot. I got a few SATA, but my test was mainly meds. They were meds I had never even heard of! From 5 years being a CNA on the floor with 2 years in the ER + 4 years of nursing school....I h...

Susan...From reading a bunch of threads on this website...it sounds like your plan is phenomenal...Where can I find your NCLEX study plan at? I just found out I failed for the 1st time.....I need help....I'm new to this whole thing....thank you!
