We like hearing ourselves! LOL I think everyone is afraid that they will be THE exception! I know I was. I figured something must be wrong. It took forever for it to post on the BON and I was NOT going to pay the stinking fee to learn early. I spent...

I suggest you get Linda LaCharity's book on Priority and Delegation. It helped me a lot. I also took NCSBN.com review. It is not as expensive as Kaplan. I did take a free pratice test through Kaplan. Check their site. Another good suggestion is doing...

I agree with Caliotter3. The Linda LaCharity book on prioritization and delegation is excellent. It really helped me. The questions make you think and are closer to the type of "passing questions" in my opinion. I finished almost the entire book. I e...

I ordered mine online. Looks like there is a newer book out (Jan 2010). Amazon.com has both. Amazon even lets you look inside the newer one. It looks good. If I had it to do over again, I would get the newer book. :)

@erinrp I don't know if anyone answered you. I took the 8 wk review and was pretty busy with it. It expired 1 wk before my test. I took a lot of notes and copied and pasted some of their charts to review later. Since you recently had nursing school, ...

It took a while for BON to update my license. (Mine had expired and took the NCLEX again) I took it July 16 and it finally updated July 28.

It is hard to say. I took 8 wks reviewing with NCSBN. You can do 3wks which includes the questions. They have pharm, priority, delegation, alternate format, and a bunch of random quizzes. There is also a pretest and a test for each of the 8 sections....

It is an online review through the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. Here is the website: NCSBN Learning Extension . NCLEX preparation . Continuing Education for Nurses . Nursing Faculty Education

@ erinrp I also took the NCSBN's learning extension review - lots of good info. LaCharity's book was priceless to me. I learned alot. Do NCLEX 75-100 questions a day especially the analysis/application type. They are the passing questions according ...

My percentages varied: LaCharity 60-70% -case studies were a lot harder. I got mostly 60's %. I even bombed one and got a 40% Kaplan's strategy book - 70% on the 180 question content test. I took a practice test with them and got a 78% but had seen m...

I passed!! I'm an RN! Finally, Michigan posted my active license! I have been waiting since July 16 with only the good pop up. It has been 25 years since I worked. Praise God! Very excited about where He will lead me now!

I took the NCLEX RN on Jul 16 and finally Michigan posted my active license!! I passed!! The PVT worked for me!

FINALLY, my RN license is active!! I passed!! :balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons:

Congrats Erinp88!! :balloons: I still haven't heard about mine.

Awesome!! :yelclap: Congrats!!:balloons:

The PearsonVue trick (PVT) is done after taking the NCLEX. There is a thread explaining how to do it etc. :)

Congrats!!:balloons:

I took my NCLEX on Jul 16 here in Ann Arbor and still have not heard. 75 questions and the good popup. I already have a license number but had let it expire, but nothing has changed on the site. It still says lapsed, expired. I am starting to wonder.

Keep us informed. Have you done the PearsonVue trick yet? It helped ease my anxiety although I was physically shaking while trying it. I got the "good popup". Mos579 is exactly right nobody feels they passed after taking it. Funny how that is!

I found LaCharity's book on Prioritization, Delegation very helpful. The case studies really make you think. Don't forget to read all of the rationale even on the ones you get right. It helped me think of things that I had forgotten. Sometimes I got ...

She needs to start doing around 100 NCLEX questions a day to get used to answering the types on the test. Here are 3 books I used (I learned about from this site): 1. Saunders Review 4th edition w/cdrom (do questions) 2. Prioritization,...

CONGRATS! :):) Thanks for sharing your story!! Very empowering! You sound like you'll be an awesome nurse! :yelclap:

Congrats to you!

Thanks. I'm from Michigan. I already have a number from 25yrs ago, but it still says expired.

I was praying for ya, too, Precious2HimBSN! What state are you from? I still haven't heard and I took my test on Jul 16.
