Wow! Many voiced they didn't go past the name screen. I work with a nurse now, and she is always looking up my patients information. I told her that's a HIPPA violation. Her reply is, "Well I'm charged tonight." Gonna see where that charge phrase get...

I took the Kaplan class years ago, I too felt it was hard. I passed my NCLEX on the first try with 75 questions. My advice to you is to continue doing the Kaplan tests, and read your rationale to every answer whether you get it right or wrong. Good l...

I think every nurse can tell you that after taking the NCLEX, you won't have a good feeling about it. I'm sure you did great on it. 😊

Hi I'm starting the RN to BSN program on 3/01/13. Very excited & nervous at the same time.

I start my first travel assisgnment next week. They offered me a tax free housing allowance of $500/week. Do anyone know if I would have to repay this money back on my taxes at the end of the year?

I do have the Saunders 3rd & 4th Edition book. I recently bought the 4th Edition book. Thank you inland18mempire for letting me know about the Saunders book. I know it does take time to go through all the Saunders chapters. I don't think I have a...

I am a new graduate nurse, getting ready to take boards. Is Saunders a good book to review, & is the Kaplan class good also?

Mrs. Suzanne, I'm not rushing through the posts to get 15. In the Saunders book I am only on chapter 19. I started Saunders last Monday. Last nite when I was at the grocery store I seen one of my friends that graduated from nursing school in 2006. Sh...

After reading the posts on Kaplan here I felt 100% better. I have been so depressed. I have been getting the following grades with Kaplan: Question Trainers 1-52% 2-61% 3-60% 4-53% 5-52% 6-64% QBank 55% 57% 58% 80% 54% 42% 62% 57% 50% 50% 62% On my ...

Hi FaithinGod2009, I am in the process of doing Kaplan now, you are so right. The first week you have an instructor going over the questions with you, then you are basically on your own after that. I graduated in December 08. I haven't taken my board...

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!:yeah:Those were some kind words you said. Well said. I am in the process of preparing for my RN boards. I just gradauted in December. I am doing Saunders now preparing to do Suzanne's plan. Thanks again.:):wink2:

Congratulations! :yeah:I hope I pass mine when I take it. I am going to just stay positive. Again CONGRATULATIONS on your greatest accomplishment.:)

CONGRATULATIONS!

I don't think it matters when you take the NCLEX. I had friends that took the NCLEX 3-4 months after graduating & they all passed on the first try. They all told me to take it when I am ready. I just graduated from nursing school in December 08, ...

I'm in the same boat also. I have been getting in the 50%-60% range on questions. I even get 40% sometimes. I took the Kaplan Diagnostic test & got 62% & the readiness test I got 64%. On the Question Trainer tests I have been getting in the 5...

I start Monday as a new grad. I would have to drive 1 hour to work. I will be doing 3 twelve hour shifts at night a week & rotating every other weekends. It is totally up to you what you decide. I don't mind driving. It never bothered me. If you ...

CONGRATULATIONS!

I hope to take mine the end of March or sometime in April. I need to study some test taking strategies.

How many hours per day do you think is recommended to pass boards? I been studying everyday since I graduated from nursing school in December. My friend who is an RN says I study too much & my husband says it also, & they say sometimes you ca...

I took the TEAS test. You may want to check out http://www.eriworld.com/ This site has the NET book you can use to study by. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I mean you read the rationales and everything & your grade still is not going up. I am going to read Pyramid to Success in the Saunders book for test taking strategies. Maybe that will help.

I hope to try Suzanne's plan also. So far on the postings I have been hearing positive remarks about it. Good luck to you.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the feedback. I will try to relax. I know that you can't memorize information for NCLEX. I know that the information have to go into your long term memory so you can understand the facts. I will try the test taking str...

I am going to get my 15 posts so I can use Suzanne's plan. I am a very poor test taker. I want to pass this test the first time & be done. Tomorrow I will go out & buy the Saunders 4th Edition NCLEX RN book. :wink2:
