I am going to make a long story short. I graduated in 1999 with my LPN and passed boards on 1st try. I immediately started RN school and graduated in 2001. I have taken the NCLEX RN 3-4 times and have failed. On the paper they sent me in the mail...

I am a stay at home mom and since summer is right around the corner, I know that I won't have anytime to myself to study. I would like to start studying now, but full force in August and hope to take before the end of the year. Are you taking yours...

CONGRATS again! I hope to be in your shoes sometime in the near future!!!!

That is so AWESOME! How many questions did you have? What apps did you use? I don't have an ipad but maybe I could find them on my laptop. Did you think it was harder than you expected? CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of luck! I am pulling for you :)

I posted a few days ago about my story. I graduated in 2001 from RN....have worked as an LPN from 1999-2008 (when I had my twins I started staying hoome). I am married and have 3 kids (6 year old and 5 year old twins). I am a stay at home mom. I ...

Thanks! No worries, I will NEVER let my license expire whether it is LPN or RN :). I do have the Saunders Q and A 2nd ed., Saunders NCLEX RN 3rd ed., Mosby's 16th and La Charity PDA. I also have access to ATI.

I guess I am just wondering when and how to start studying for this beast! Also, I am not sure I can spend 8 hours a day studying in the fall, just seems like alot. Thoughts?

I have been doing questions on NCLEX 3500 and last night I did 8-10 and the computer screen turned white and said service unavailable. So I started again and it kept doing it. I was irritated becuase I have no idea if I got any of the questions ri...

Every state is different. I live in Iowa and that is not the case here.

WOW rosepetals12! Good for you!!!! Have you worked in the last 20 years?

APERRY5675 I can't wait to hear about your success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if you work FT and have 4 boys and can do it, SO CAN I! You girls are getting me pumped. I am not going to set a time in my mind until I start doing some practice questions and get a feel for it. My 3 kids will all be in school all day this f...

I agree APerry...it seems so huge to me. I now have MAJOR anxiety about it. I hate the fact that once I hit 75 questions, that I have no idea when it will shut off. Freaks me out when another one pops up. I too am not a sit down and study person....

APerry5675......have you taken them before????

Yes, I am in the same boat! Busy with small kids and feel like a failure! It frustrates me so much that the darn NCLEX RN is the only thing keeping me from being an RN. Have been an LPN for 11 years but can't seem to pass that test. Best of luck...

I have failed boards several times and it has been 6 years, some of you may have seen my previous posts. Anyway, it's time for me to pass those boards!!!!!! I am looking into Kaplan and Hurst and am wondering which is better. I have read that Kapl...

Kaplan or Hurst! I have been out 8 years and have failed. Jumping back in to pass this BEAST! GOOD LUCK!

Just wondering if the ?'s in the Kaplan Strategies book are similiar to the Qbank? I really think I need some content review so am doing the Kaplan book and will do Hurst review and then the Q bank. Opinoins on this would be great! Plus why am I no...

I just bought the Kaplan Strategies book and in it it says to take as many diagnostic exams as possible. Where do I do this at? Are they free? I first of all need to figure out my weaknesses. THANKS!

I just want to thank all of you for you positiveness and encouragement!!!!!!!!

Thanks SO MUCH! How long (months, etc.) did it take to prepare before you took your boards again? You took them twice? Also, how many hours did you study each day? I am married and have 3 kids (all 3 1/2) and younger. Thanks again!

Hope your right, that would be great!

kcshabi, did you buy the Kaplan questions or are you doing the review also?

I don't have an answer for you but am considering doing Hurst after being unsuccessful! Look forward to reading the responses!
