I believe that you can take it as many times as you want within 7 years? And...has anyone taken it more than 3 times?

My score varied, and then someone told me not to score it and just concentrate on understanding why the answer is correct bc the rationales are what help you to critically think like the NCLEX. It is not formatted quite like the NCLEX but if you can ...

I graduated a year ago and I'm trying to find a job. I just recently passed the NCLEX-RN. I suppose its the off season now because people arent hiring new grads OR economic depression. I have not had any work experience for a year now, and i know th...

it's been a year now since i've graduated, and it has been a long painful journey. i graduated in may 2008. it is now june 2009 and after the 4th time testing, i have finally passed!!!! before i graduated, and started studying for the nclex-rn, i fel...

what do you mean? that they wont hire someone into the ICU because they are thinking about grad school? or that its simply too hard to get into? Even though I still dont get into grad school or thinking about it. I still want to be in that unit.

Congrats. Now we have to try and find a job in this economic depression. oh joy. :) hardest part is over though!

For SATA, I would just look at what the question is really asking you and look at each answer to see if its True or fits that statement. Dont beat yourself up if you get it wrong. Just read rationales. Its hard, and alot of ppl get it wrong. I used a...

I personally like Saunders better bc they break down not only the rationale but the test takng strategy and alot of ppl have been successful on Saudners. If you want, you should look up reviews on what other ppl have said after taking the NCLEX on Am...

I think you can do well with the resources you have alone. THere are other ways to pass than taking review courses. I know I spent a butt load of money and it didnt help. Saunders is the way to go. And I highly recommend LaCharity!!!

DONT GIVE UP. People wait years and years to figure out what they want to do, and get degrees there not satisfied with, but you know where your passion lies and thats a big step. First I would call your boards to see whether you are eligible to take ...

Buy the Saunders Comprehensive book, and follow Suzanne's Plan. Its free. Look at the stickie notes on the home page.

i felt fatigued when i tried to remember all the meds that the saunders book was asking me. it may be a waste of time to remember all the drugs, after all we arent studying to be a pharmacist. instead of looking through each section, i would categori...

I bought the LaChairty's Prioritization and Delegations book. I know alot of ppl have recommended it, but I just wanted to ask for other peoples opinions of what they thought of the book. I feel that it is good for critical thinking and pathophysiol...

I've been studying for about 3 months now. This will be the 4th time taking it. In the past, i have used HURST, and Kaplan. This time around I have reviewed the whole book of Saunders Comprehensive, and used the Saunders Q&A for practice exams/ ...

Thanks for all the support. It helps alot!!!!

How do you qualify for personal examination issues. Such as more time? I found that some ppl could do this but I dont know if I qualify or how to get this information. Can someone offer me some information?

I wanted to take my test in April. I thought that I would get my ATT in the beginning. Turns out that they sent it to an inactivated school email account. I just called them today and they sent my ATT to the right email address. I've been studying ra...

Thank you for sharing this with us. how did you study for the 6th time (since you said you needed to change your test plan)?

Saunders Comprehensive is the one with the highest reviews. I just finished and i feel that i have a good background on the information, especially since its beena while for you. You can do it. Its ok that its been 3 years, as long as you pass, and...

This will be my 4th time taking this exam. I felt that way everytime. You have the tools to pass this test, you just need to know how to use them. Don't feel like your not good enough bc, you are highly capable of it. Some of the best nurses had to t...

Thanks, I dont feel so bad because i took Hurst and Kaplan as well. I think that studying Saunders book is the best way to go.

That your were just above the line. You have to be far past the line. Isnt that crazy enough we have to pass, but we also have to be way above passing? Just have to be more consistant in all areas.

I have taken some review courses but I feel that it may be a waste of money, however many have viewed Kaplan very resourceful if you are weak in test taking strategies. If you are low on money, I would suggest buying Saunders Comprehensive 4th ed fo...

It doesnt count against you cuz all of the questions are weighed teh same. Someone took 4 hours on 75 questions and still passed. I concur with her advice. I've taken it 3 times and each time i panicked and tried to rush. QUALITY over quantity. BTW, ...

I have the 3rd edition as well. I think the only difference are some minor changes such as labs. The actual patho of the diseases should be the same.
