  1. How to study MEDS for NCLEX

    pers replied to kalop's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not the method I would recommend exactly, but I didn't study meds at all. It was by far my weakest area and even though I passed in 75 questions, I believe it showed on the NCLEX as I did have quite...

  2. Go to school in one state & get license from another state???

    pers replied to AniraP's topic in General Nursing

    Done all the time. You have to meet the requirements to test in AZ which you can likely find on their BON website and if not, you can get it by contacting the BON

  3. La Charity???

    pers replied to IJUSTWISH's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's supposed to help you figure out how to prioritize which patients you should see first, which tasks you should delegate to other staff and what assignments are appropriate for other staff based on...

  4. Retaking NCLEX several years later?

    pers replied to kingsdaughter's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a very similar situation as I waited eleven years after graduating to take the NCLEX. You really do need to contact the state you plan to test in and find out if you are eligible or can...

  5. ATI or Kaplan for NCLEX-RN?

    pers replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Another vote for Kaplan. I waited 11 years to take the NCLEX and passed the first try in 75 questions. I attempted to review with Saunders initially because it's what most folks recommend for...

  6. Which states currently have the most job openings for graduates ??

    pers replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm on the WV/OH border and don't know of anyone who hasn't been able to find a nursing job. Folks may not get everything they want (shift, unit or even hospital) but from what I've heard they are...

  7. help me not dread telemetry

    pers replied to file03's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps ask about sitting with the monitor tech for a shift or two? Practice is really the only way to improve and that would give you a lot of practice

  8. HURST or KAPLAN??? Trying to decide

    pers replied to mariyahsmommy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. The 7 part question series are the question trainers. The qbank offers a lot more questions. I used Kaplan but didn't make use of the qbank so don't know much about it. I did feel the question...

  9. reviewing sounds for nclex

    pers replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do you have flash installed/allowed? The site listed earlier in the thread is the one I recommended because it helped me with my audio questions. When studying however, I also came across...

  11. Developing a Plan for taking the NCLEX-RN

    pers posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated from a BSN program 10 years ago and have never taken the NCLEX (long story, life happened). I'd like to take it now (well, in a few months) but unprepared barely scratches the surface of...

    pers replied to pers's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So I thought I should make my way back to this thread with an update! Unfortunately, I did not stick with my original plan and test August or Sept of 2009. I tried to stick to my study plan but my...

  16. help dont know what this means

    pers replied to bebopsbabygirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry but I've never heard of anyone getting the cc page who passed unless they signed up with a new account to do it (rather than logging in under the account they tested under). If you had...

    pers posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  18. practice test scores/percentages to pass nclex?

    pers replied to jessicalily's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are you doing Kaplan? On the question trainers I got (in order) 63, 63, 58, 53, 61, 70 and 62. My scores for the diagnostic and readiness test were identical, 67%. I didn't do a single question...

  19. The "extra hard" 2010 NCLEX?

    pers replied to quetepye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Either we disagree or I'm not making the same distinction you are, not quite sure which! Question 1: You have a patient with Disease X, which of the following breath sounds would you anticipate...

  20. The "extra hard" 2010 NCLEX?

  21. NCLEX BOOKS

    pers replied to forsty's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The LaCharity book is really good, I'd definitely recommend that one. Saunders is highly recommended by many but I didn't like it at all. I found it very difficult to read and didn't feel the content...

    pers replied to Penguin67's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a family member and not a LTC nurse, I'd like to give a vote to premade cards with stamped envelopes. Perhaps his mother is different, but for many of that generation sending cards and...
