    50caliber replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in California Nursing

    50caliber replied to RNLola035's topic in California Nursing

    i think what the person was trying to say is that there are a ton of applicants for roughly 20 available positions. i don't think 500 new grads will show up that day but they probably have over 500...

  12. I Didnt Quite Make It, Need Resources

    50caliber replied to almostfamous's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the best resource is Saunders. Nursing theory is nursing theory and I will say go to Borders/Barnes and pick out whatever you feel that will most help you learn and go with it. No point in...

  13. Is 1 month enough time to study for nclex-rn?

    50caliber replied to choco901's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    5 weeks should be adequate depending on your study habits. I was able to pass it on the 1st try with around 6 weeks of study time but i literally studied everyday like 5-8 hours and treated my...

    50caliber replied to Gretel01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It doesn't come cheap. Go to kaplan website for more info. I think you will get more from the classroom by taking the course because you can ask questions and things like that. The online portion is...

  16. order to apply strategies???????

    50caliber replied to Gretel01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Take the class room portion of the class. They do questions till you are blue in the face and present many opportunities to see how these strategies are applied. The instructor will walk you through...

    50caliber replied to imconfused's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is true but trust me on this: You will KILL yourself and make yourself miserable if you keep thinking that you have failed. Just wait for your results and deal with it once you know for sure....

  18. Is Kaplan helpful?

    50caliber replied to etxyz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No sense in worrying about it till you find out for sure. I thought i failed as well, but passed. Again, seen mixed results with Kaplan. Some love it, some hate it. I had similar thoughts regarding...

  19. Is Kaplan helpful?

    50caliber replied to etxyz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan is odd. Some people love it, some hate it. Bottom line: use whatever you find comfortable that will help you to pass. Plenty of options out

  20. Is Kaplan helpful?

    50caliber replied to etxyz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The qbank instructions and all other relevant information are on their website. If you received an email from them, you should have also received en email with log in info to their website which has...

  21. finally a good score on a kaplan test

    50caliber replied to tolerantgirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I assume its 61% straight up with unused. None of this repeating/using incorrect questions from before. Obvious if you were to repeat incorrect questions, you will most likely get them right thus...

    50caliber replied to tolerantgirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  25. Wondering who uses a "Strategy" when studying for NCELX

    50caliber replied to kajh20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
