Hello, everyone! I'm new here and am really needing some help. I just found out yesterday that I failed the NCLEX for the second time. My wife, bless her heart, is taking it a lot harder than I am. A LOT harder. The first time that I took the NCLEX a...

The question that I have is that since it will change to a Doctorate, will the rate of pay increase as well?

I'm giving some serious thought to taking the Kaplan review. What do you guys think?

Actually, I am going to do it. For now, I'm going to study more content and learn what Kaplan has for test taking strategies. What was your experience with Kaplan like? I've had to coworkers talk very highly of them and even credit them with helping ...

Do a search for it on Amazon.com and buy it. I actually got my copy from eBay at a discounted rate. Good luck!

Wow! Thanks to everyone for your encouragement! I really appreciate it. I currently work as an ER Tech and have done this work for the past 3 years, so I am working now. As a matter of fact, I'm working a LOT now. we really need to catch up on some t...

I know it's not technically that long ago, but it feels like forever. Still really considering the Kaplan review. I just gotta pass.

Graduated in May '08.

Debbie, Yeah, I've seen that and may still do it, but I really feel that I do best with hands on training. I'll spend some more time considering my options, but I really feel that I may need another review because of the time that I've been out of sc...

Debbie, Actually, I found out that it's just 45 days, but I may give myself some more time to study for it. I'm seriously considering the Kaplan review right now. I work with a guy that did the Hurst review for his first NCLEX, failed after 130 quest...

I never used the Kaplan book. Do you feel that it wasn't helpful for you? Have you tried the NCSBN review course? I plan to try that myself. I'm also going to use Suzanne's plan to help me.

Thanks for the encouragement! We're still picking up the pieces around here, but we'll be ok. Actually gonna take a few days off and then get back on the horse!

Thanks! That's what I plan to do asap.

Thanks for THAT tip! I HATED the Endocrine portions of the program with a passion. None of the teachers could ever explain it in a way that made sense. I never even got a good understanding of it all until I took the Hurst review and then the light b...

Yep, I was in class with some of these. They had no idea which end of the IV to stick with but could pass all of the tests! And I'm the opposite. Tests aren't my strong point at all, but I'm great in the clinical setting; no classmates could beat me....

Way to go! Glad you were able to get it done in one!

Way to go! Go ahead and cry all you want! You're allowed to!

CONGRATULATIONS! I bet you're soooooooo relieved! Now just focus on that new baby and enjoy life!

Awesome! Thank you very much for the link! Very helpful!

Thanks! So is Kaplan completely online or is it a class that you attend for a week? Would you be willing to tell me how much it is? I understand if you don't want to. I'm DEFINITELY going to look into that! I do like Saunders, but I kind of fee...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Way to go! I'm really happy for you. Is there a link to NCSBN? I know that this is a stupid question, but what is that exactly? I'm definitely going to look into it, so thanks for the suggestion!

Glad and sad that I'm not alone.:wink2: Hopefully, we'll get through this on the next try. Here in LA, we get 4 attempts...I don't want to use them all up!

I will! Did you use her plan? I assume it helped you?

Thanks for the suggestion. I think that I'm going to do that. I'm about 1/4 of the way through doing her first step before I need to PM her. I'll finish that up this month and try to contact her.
