79Tango. Do you know any websites or agency that work directly with the IHS? thanks. I am licensed to work in all of these states so I at this time I don't have to worry about that aspect.

thanks strawberrykool. Do you now what are the best companies that have contracts with hospitals in Montana?

I am planning to do travel nursing in the CCU/ICU and/or ER in MT,ND or SD. It's my first time doing an assignment and trying to stay close to my hometown in MO. I am interested in hearing about people's experience in any of these state. I recently got a Montana license cause I love to visit more of that state. What are the hospitals like in these rural areas and the assignments? I am working with Trustaff and valley health. Are these two companies good to find me the travel assignment in these areas?

The website actually works. Just type it in. go to http://www.audiolearn.net http://www.audiolearn.net/nclexrn-audiolearn-p-244.html?osCsid=99f186a4e34890c8984c828cf0ac4906 I also used Kaplan audio lectures while preparing (this one i downloaded for free..just follow instructions). It's a bit tricky to download. Some users here on this forum helped me with this. first download bit torrent go to http://www.bittorrent.com/btusers/download/? click where it says "get bit torrent" Then go to this website : http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4137419/Nursing_NCLEX_Lectures_and_Software_-_Part_III_of_IV_-_Apirl_15_ click where it says Download this torrent You can put these lectures on i-pod and listen to it. If you have problems let me know. goodluck

Oh dayo CONGRATULATIONS, I had faith in you. YOU DID IT YAY woot woot :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) Love2beanurse, those are the exact materials I used aswell, learning ext and saunders. I did tons of questions like 1500 and read all the rationales. you can do it. good luck.

I agree with truern on getting the report. As many have suggested try the suzannes plan as it has helped many. Personally I did not do her plan as I did not have enough time to do it. but I did use the book, it helped but what helped the most was doing the practice test. I did about 1500 practice questions alltogether to prepare for the test. I also did the http://www.learningext.com 3 weeks program and did all of the questions listed on the site. I would say those questions helped me the most. The questions on the Saunder's book were little too easy for me but learningext was more closer to nclex in my personal opinion. I got lots of priority questions, lots of SATA type about (10-11), lots of teaching, there were about 8 or 9 med questions, 0 drug calculations, no delegation. The test stopped in 89 questions and passed it. Good luck to you. you can do it again.

congrats to everyone who has passed, isn't it a great feeling???? I took the test on Monday 1/12 (test stopped at 89 questions) and found out yesterday that I passed. Thank you god. To those who are waiting to take the test, study hard (honestly it's a hard test) and do ur practice test, and you will make it. And to those of you who already took and passed....take some time to enjoy the moment. you deserve it :))))

hey everyone, I want to thank once again for your support. This thread is great. After the long waited anticipation, I found out I passed yesterday. I am so happy, i couldn't believe it I passed. I have faith in those who study hard that they will pass. It is definitely doable. ahh i was jumping up and down with joy. thanks again. Dayo did you find out the results? I am very optimistic that you have passed the NCLEX aswell.

I took the test today and it shut off at 89 questions...I felt like I was guessing aswell, but i knew some stuff aswell. I m just so nervous. anyone passed/failed with 89 questions? I know it's all different.

ok so i took the nclex today and let me tell you it was tough I have to admit it. there was definitely some guessing involved. When the test didn't shut off in 75 questions, i was kind of nervous. Then finally after two hours it shut off in 89 questions. I dont know I how did, like people have been saying I don't feel like I did all that great. But i have a gut feeling that i may have just passed. The questions after 75 questions got easier and I belive I may have gotten most of them correct. I had tons of teaching questions...about 10 SATA questions (which one my weakest points), few peads, couple OB, some psych, lots of meds (i believe i got of these correct), some infection control and safety, and none drug calculations or delegation (too bad these were my strongest points). Overall it was a tough test and i had been studying and took tons of practice questions. oh dear god i just hope i passed. I cant go through taking this test again. good luck to anyone who is going to take this test. I hope you all the best.

feliz3 and dayo thank you very much for your support. I pray to god that i pass the exam. I feel grateful to have support not only from my family and friends but also here. I will pray for both of you as well. I will post tomorrow how the test goes. I really hope i pass...cant' afford to fail it. thank you for your words.

I love it full of good info. Any advice as what i should do during last moments? thanks Here my some of the facts Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): rare disorder and occurs as a SE of antipsychotic meds (such as quetiapine (seroquel)) .

Feliz3 so you have a quite a bit of time before taking the test. Good luck to you. I myself am doing practice test from saunders. I wish I had time to do suzanne's plan, sounds like it's been working for a lot of people. goodluck
