Sakshi. Don't lose heart. Nobody is EVER a failure....and same goes for you. You were intelligent enough to make it through the gruelling nursing school, this is just the last hurdle you need to clear. There is a certain strategy and mindset that you...

Hi. The NET test was given - i believe- until 2009, and was nothing more than math and english. It has been phased out now and you will have to take the TEAS test, which in itself is gruelling. It has all that, and sections of basic sciences as well....

Hello, and congrats to those who passed the exam. I have a question for all of those who passed....If you did Kaplan...what was your average....I've been doing Kaplan for a while and my scores are not that promising. I'm so scare and will be taking m...

As for the answer to your questions....Here is my rationale: Answer 1 - D - (why??) - because, if you DON'T teach the client correct use of insulin, they may take too much - and then bottom out - and run into a coma...which negates ALL other interven...

All of you bring up very valid and interesting points. With the job market saturating with graduate nurses, that are unable to find jobs for the longest time, the situation will only go further south, which is "exactly" (and I emphasize-exactly, with...

Floridamama. You definitely want NLN accreditation for any nursing school you want to attend. In fact, that is the first question you should ask. Regional accreditation is okay, and it will get you the ability to practice in the state of FL. But if y...

Guys, you will all be fine, and will ace the NCLEX. Just you watch. Study the drugs by exception and interaction. I have a pharm study guide in a pdf format. just email me and quote this post. [email protected] Got something for you to answer: Di...

Did the OB section from NCSBN.....and RARELY went wrong on another OB question ever again -- on three other online preps that i used - ATI, Hurst AND Kaplan.

I did both and this is what i found: KAPLAN: great question prep. Very similar in wording, difficulty level and content to real NCLEX. Didn't have many surprises. so so on content prep. Unless you are willing to sit a countless hours listening to on...

I would give it betwen 4-6 weeks after kaplan class is over, to be able to assimilate the information, and have enough time to enough questions on Kaplan and also understand the rationales on the questions without having to rush. Getting fired up and...

majority of pharm questions you will get on the NCLEX, there is a good chance you probably would never even have heard of that drug. So, the best way to learn the drug is by the class, its ending (OLS, OLOLS), AND the chemical name (or whatever it is...

I sincerely hope as well that you are successful this time. However, God forbid, IF you happen to go to 265, doesn't matter what you ve done in the past questions....on question #264, do me a favor, take a five minute break, wash your face, freshen ...

did around a 1000-1500. Passed with 75. BUT learned the content in and out, its application, and prioritization strategies. All three are interlinked more than you can imagine.

the questions that you took have been purged from your particular account. You will never see the same question again. Sorry to hear that you have to take on the beast again, but unless you quit divulging on what you did in the past, you will be seri...

Your follow up would be to make sure whatever you tried to prevent (given in the question) has actually been prevented....so, you ve got to look for the particular s/sx/labs / reports of a successful intervention on the particular condition. Confused...

Are you kidding me? ATI and NCLEX? Ha! WORLD of difference. however, ATI is a good gauge of content knowledge. Do the Kaplan to learn to apply it properly, and you will be a happy camper. Best of luck!

Exactly how the education THEN (competitive, empathetic) compares to education NOW (normalized, pathetic).

please dont lose heart. you have a lot more fight left in you, and next time you will be taking it to the nclex lady (marlene's favorite). if you still have access to hurst, keep it. hurst is excellent for content. i would also try to sign up with ka...

the NCLEX is a beast, especially when it comes to those mind boggling SATA's. No, seriously. On my second shot at the exam, i had a SATA that had only ONE choice that made sense. not kidding....only ONE!! so, how do i know i got it right...because th...

the question is what resource are you utilizing to prepare right now to prepare for NCLEX while taking classes? Because for the NCLEX, you need to go way beyond knowing just the content on your fingertips, because the test is more application unlike ...

Don't give up hope. Not passing the boards sure is demoralizing, but don't let it get to you. And most importantly, when you are studying again, DO NOT look back on the test you just took to identify important questions / material. Now, for the upco...

My pet peeve - take a 50-100 question test approximately 1.5 hours before you are to leave for the testing center. It will get your brain to get in the testing mode and start oozing all that material, and by the time you get to taking the test, the i...
