just wondering... of those of you that have taken the NCLEX-RN here in CA (or know anyone who has)...have any of you received PASSING results in the mail BEFORE your name showed up on the website?
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations on finishing nursing and your upcoming wedding! I truly admire everyone who puts themselves through nursing school....especially while raising a family! Save this for him for the future...he will definitely lo...

Nicely said! They always tell you in nursing school that "nurses eat their young." And boy did I come across some those nurses both in clinicals and in the work force. I would often come home from clinicals frustrated thinking "don't they remember...

heard them all and then some. only thing i have to say is, it's not really the fault of medical assistants, techs and other medical support staff for being mistaken for nurses. the general public just thinks that anyone who's in scrubs is nurse. i...
i felt the same way when i saw the small envelope in the mail. but i too failed...again. don't give up. try suzanne's plan. that's what i'm hoping to do also. i have to wait a week though and redo the first part before contacting her again. goo...
I too had to do ATI because our program required it. I didn't like it all and didn't feel that it helped me on the NCLEX. Most of my classmates did not like ATI as well. Out of a class of 20, about 5 really like ATI for the NCELX. So I think it'...
I've used Kaplan, Saunders, and ATI for reviews. They each have their own good points. I especially liked Kaplan because of their strategies. After taking their course, my scores on practice tests improved greatly. I had five other classmates who too...
Hello everyone! First, I must say that I LOVE the support that everyone shows on here. It's so uplifting and keeps me from wanting to quit. So thank you to everyone! So, I'm going to start reviewing AGAIN for the NCLEX-RN (haven't received my resu...
The wait for NCLEX-RN results is agonizing! I tested during the holiday week last month and have yet to receive results. All of my classmates who have passed saw their name on the BRN website within 3-4 days. Mine never showed up. And it's hard fo...
i'm in the same boat as you. i took the nclex-rn during the holiday weeks and still no results. people keep saying that it may take longer because of the holidays, but like you, i keep losing hope as each day goes by. anyway, good luck! i hope you...

my fiance and i went through lvn school together and saw eachother ALL the time. so it was nice to have some "me time" when i could get it. when i went through RN school, that kept me extremely busy. now, i know we weren't miles away, but me being...
Honestly, the number of questions you get doesn't determine if you pass or fail. I've seen it go both ways...pass at 75, fail at 75 and same for 265. When you go into the test, be prepared to answer the full 265. When I first took the exam, I kept...
I used Kaplan and I believe that their questions are at the level of difficulty for the NCLEX. But also use other sources for questions as well. Good luck!
Hi everyone! I'm new here and this is my first post. Anyway, I took the NCLEX-RN on Christmas Eve here in CA....for the 3rd time . The first time I answered around 215 questions, the second time I went all the way to 265, and this 3rd time, I did t...
You do have to repay every time you retest. If you're in CA, it's $75 for the BON nursing (application fee) and $200 to PearsonVue for the exam. Good luck!
ValerieCQ replied to WittySarcasm's topic in NCLEX
The NCLEX-RN is really focused on prioritizaiton, delegation and infection control. The Kaplan QBank has good questions to practice. I also tried the NCSBN website also. Just make sure that the questions you do as you review are NCLEX-RN style...a...
when i took the nclex-pn, i used NCSBN to study (you can pick how long you want your course to be). it helped me alot and i passed on my first time. i wished that happened for me for the nclex-rn. hehe. also, i used kaplan for my review for rn a...
i did the kaplan class as well. their strategies were helpful to me. i also liked their qbank questions because they were at the appropriate level for nclex-rn. but one suggestion is to not think of just getting 75 questions. it could stress you o...
