  1. Taking NCLEX 3rd time on Dec 16th, 2009

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to AugustBoy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I guess...the more questions the better. What I notice with these questions is that they keep coming back to the same subject, so if you know the bits and pieces you can get more questions right. Some...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to MiaLyse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Take that exam cram CD and toss it in the recycling can it is not worth anything. There are gross errors in it. I even spotted a medical error clear and simple, and I was not even that far into the...

  5. Kaplan course?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to DoNotLoseHope's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the Kaplan 2X and failed 2X. I think there are useful strategies there and if you already have good knowledge it can certainly work. But for me it didn't work. Although the Kaplan tree is...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to nascentRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Of course the more you know the better. But knowing only is not enough you must be good and with that I mean you must have some talent when answering these questions. One thing I discovered: When I...

  9. Im not doing well on Kaplan test prep and Im terrified

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to kayleebailey's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's my take of Kaplan QT: You will find some questions that are identical to the ones in the trainers and by being good with the tree you will be able to handle them. However there will be a large...

  10. I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to SugarPlum2003's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow...you must be very gutsy. Each time we fail is like a ton of bricks falling to the head. Just a question. What have you done up to the third time you took the exam? Did you think you were prepared...

  11. The Nclex is very very hard.

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to nursing291's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCLEX has four levels of difficulty: comprehension, knowledge base, application, analysis. The second two levels are the considered "passing" levels. You must answer enough questions in these two...

  13. Exam Cram review

    Leonardo Del Toro posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Exam Cram is a good book with lots of useful information and strategies. When I started to use the tests (at least in the CD) I became suspicious. The questions are very tricky. I understand this is...

  14. Heard about ExamCram

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to ehlay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the EC is a good book with lots of useful resources. I was not happy with their questions. I found some of them to be at best inaccurate or dead wrong. After working with them a little I found...

  16. Kaplan vs NCSBN NCLEX-RN Review

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to jay4's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My word of caution here is: don't rely solely on any given method or book. Each book brings a piece of the puzzle. Kaplan strategies are good and they will help you with some of the questions. There...

  17. Working with mostly women. Heaven or Hell?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to lsvalliant's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I find it great to work with woman. Sometimes it gets a little too pink (baby talk, boyfriends, shopping etc...)but I don't mind. I have good luck with woman nurses I guess. Even the old crusty ones I...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to 026K's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to oreo84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
