  1. Physical Assessments: Do Any Nurses Do Them

    I don't know what hospital you work at but it really worries me when you say that nurses are not doing assessments. Depending on what your patient diagnosis is and what condition your patient is in,...
  2. I cant afford Kaplan! Help!

    I would recommend using Saunders Q&A and Exam Cram. Exam Cram has a wonderful cd on the back of the book with a MOCK NCLEX
  3. Is a Nclex review course really necessary?

    The key thing with Kaplan is that there is a 100% money back guarantee if you take the LIVE course, attend all classes, and finish all their assigned tests/quizzes. It cant hurt to put 400 something...
  4. Which exam cram book do you have? I have the smaller one 2nd edition and your question doesn't match up with mine. Just wondering because I don't want to use a book that may potentially have errors...
  5. NCLEX review help

    My recommendation is that if you are to do the Kaplan course, to do the LIVE class not the online. You get more out of the LIVE class AND the classes help you stay on track with their schedule....
  6. First of all, I think this trick is a myth. The only true way of finding out is either paying the $9.00 for fast results (that is...if your state supports this website) on Pearson Vue. If not, you...
  7. User name on allnurses.com

    "i'm curious as to what is the difference when people's id's are the rn somewhere in there, like: rn2b, or rnwannebe, or id's like that?" according to the website: "members cannot call themselves by...
  8. I failed Nclex today

    You know, at first you may feel like you're alone. You're not. You might feel like you let not only youself down but also the people who have been supporting you. I did too. But you know what?...
  9. Job advice for students and new grads

    I would highly recommend doing a summer internship with a hospital you're most interested in. You are pretty much guaranteed a job compared to the average new graduate applying for a job, that is, if...
  10. I would only encourage someone to attend nursing school to become a potential RN only if they are doing it for the right reasons; money not being one of them. We want nurses who will become the best...
  11. Your post made me cry. It was one of the few I read when I reached a moment of depression after figuring out I had failed the NCLEX-RN examination for the first time. I thank you for sharing your...
  12. NCLEX-RN 2nd Time Around Test Takers

    I took the online Kaplan course and that didn't really help me out seeing how I failed the NCLEX the first time. I'm studying for the 2nd time with the live-class. Hopefully this will be more...
  13. NCLEX-RN 2nd Time Around Test Takers

    LOL You know I was so depressed a couple of days ago after not seeing my license on the BON site, but more and more I realize I'm not alone. I too will be taking the exam 2nd time (probably beginning...
  14. Passed on the 4th time

    I am also studying for my 2nd attempt. It's draining...but we have to push
  15. Can't get a job as new RN

    YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! VA is also not hiring as many new graduates among other states. I typically see one or two new graduate or RN positions and the rest are wanting more experienced nurses. This is...
  16. TOOK NLEX-RN 5 TIMES

    First of all, don't lose all hope! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE walks out of that exam feeling like they failed it. Do not worry about what you should do as far as studying for your next exam when...
  17. Should I reschedule?

    Kaplan specifically states that on I believe the first three trainers you should be getting 65%...and on trainers 5,6,7 should be aimed towards 60%. I haven't heard about anyone who has passed the...
