After shutting out distractions and really focusing on studying for the test, I ended up buying alot of NCLEX review materials, so I had the following: NCSBN online review course (5 wks) Content isn't great, very hard to learn from but the q...

The PVT worked for me. I failed NCLEX-RN twice and each time it let me register again. The 3rd time, I got the "good pop-up" and I found that I passed after paying for the quick results.

Ty all and good luck for those taking the NCLEX soon! You will feel nervous and anxious when the test date draws near, but remember to breathe, focus, and tell yourself that this test aint nothing but a chicken wing (believe you can conquer it is wha...

Many people including myself would say just do the questions and skip the case studies. I believe it goes up to page 87 before it hits the case studies. I just read through and did all the topics/chapters in one setting without following along in my ...

Aniya05, thanks for asking that question. Many people that are waiting to take the NCLEX for the first time would probably want to know how the questions will be worded or look like..The Kaplan question trainer questions are worded very,very similar...

Ty oztizz184, I believe the computer shut off at 103 questions, maybe 30 SATA, 2 math, 3 pics, no audio, the rest were mostly priority, delegation, assignment questions, infection control. Didn't sleep at all the night before as I was cramming.. I am...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I will definitely look into getting the CNA certification first.

Unfortunately i failed out of a BSN program but i am looking to go back in to perhaps an ADN program and work my way back to attain the bachelor's degree. I am confident that i will become a nurse and will be the best nurse i can be someday. I want t...

Thank you all for the advice and comments! Yes, I've been deciding on trying the 2 year program route and work my way back up to get my bachelor's (RN-BSN bridge program). Yes, I will not give up my dreams and hopes of becoming a nurse. The past coup...

Hello all i need some advice, I'm currently enrolled in a 4 yr nursing program in Texas. I'm in my third semester out of 4. I was a semester away from graduating with a BSN degree. This semester consisted of a full semester of critical care, half sem...

i agree with work experience is the key...

goopsy take a look at ur mail. but the short answer is yes they will teach you guys how to perform all the required checkoff skills. I will most likely not look over this thread as much anymore, so any questions you guys have please mail me through m...

you will get a packet in the mail once you mail in your acceptance letters. the packet contains tons of information about orientation and required things you must do and etc. The faculty at uta uses hp ipaq 210. Most students use an itouch or an iph...

thanks you guys.. i hope u get in ayeisha, hope u guys will enjoy your first semester at uta as i have so far. so far this semester its been so much fun. at first, u will be overwhelmed with info. but after you hone in on ur skills and retain the inf...

congrats you guys! i havent been on here for awhile and im happy to hear the good news.. if you live far, they will probably take 2-3 days depending where you live to get the letter.

lol yeah the one with the metal rod sticking through his face... i always play with that mask when im at the smart hospital. i wanted to use that for halloween haha.

That's good to hear goopsy, congrats!

It's a bit nostalgic reading these posts and how it reminded me of how i was in your "shoes". Just a word of encouragement, if you don't get an acceptance letter, please please don't let that make you give up becoming a nurse. Keep trying, keep moti...

Hey guys, my guess is that some people who were accepted but apparently may have not passed patho or pharm or any other prereq's that must be completed prior to the start of the semester, therefore may have not be able to start the program. Other ass...

Hi goopsy i sent you a pm. Misspink and goopsy, i wouldn't worry about your hesi scores. For those who don't know why they're accepting about 110 student now instead of the traditional 100 is because now they're doing the accelerated 1 yr BSN online ...

Misspink86, as goopsy stated, i really think you have a very good chance. Looking back at the hesi a2 requirement on the uta.edu/nursing site, it states that for Spring 2010 applicants. I was mistaken in thinking that they're now using it as an ad...

Thanks misspink86, i wish you the best of luck and hopefully you'll get in!! Unfortunately i don't remember exactly what i made on my hesi a2 since i took it so long ago and we didn't get a printout of our scores or anything but i think i remember my...

Thanks jackson, RN! Congratz on finishing school, i'm excited for you haha!! I knew some of the girls that graduated from your class this year. I will definitely keep your words in mind when we start classes. Best regards
