Hello people. Can you tell me how you got your first job? I just gave up searching on the internet and now I need new ways to look for a nursing job. Btw, I'm a new grad.

I feel your pain since we're in the same situation. RN programs are like a lottery and SNF, nursing homes are only hiring experienced nurses. It's possible to get a job if you know someone. Kaya yan....

wow, consider yourself lucky because you already have a job! Anyway, when I was getting around 55-58% correct on my Kaplan qbank, I stopped using it. I focused on the Kaplan RN course book to study basic content and since then I was getting 60-67% an...

How hard? Hmm. It's harder than getting to a nursing school, finishing nursing school, and taking nclex combined. I'm unemployed here in CA, thinking about moving to other state. But that would cost me a lot and I don't have money.
I personally think Saunders is very easy. I remember the first time I tried it, I got 85% without any review. But that's only my opinion. Anyway, I also thought NCLEX was easy but I must say the questions are unpredictable and out of nowhere. I did ...
There are two things you need to pass the exam: knowledge on content and good test taking skills. Exam cram will help with your test taking skills because it is very similar to NCLEX. Maybe exam cram wasn't for you. Maybe you need to focus on the con...
If review books mirror nclex, wouldn't that be too easy? If that happens, we could just memorize the whole content and pass. Remember NCLEX is designed not only to see how safe you are but also to see our competence. That's why they said that NCLEX i...
Do a lot of questions. If you need to study content, read the basic content. I would not suggest Saunders although many people liked it because NCLEX isn't a comprehensive exam so why use a comprehensive book? Most questions are analysis and applicat...
Anyway, review course is good but it isn't the only option. There are good review materials like exam cram, kaplan strategy book, or nclex 3500 that will help you practice with 'similar' NCLEX type questions.
Most of the questions are prioritization, safety and infection control, delagation, and meds, so how is that not relevant to nursing? You shouldn't be comparing saunders and nursing made easy with nclex because most of the questions in saunders are k...
You might find my suggestion to be really different but I suggest you not to use Saunders and Kaplan at the same time because it can be overwhelming. Before I took the test, I only used RN course book which features basic content excluding stuff you ...
Kaplan is harder and trickier than NCLEX while Saunders is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier than NCLEX. So if you're gonna practice questions, never use Saunders. For practicing questions, use Kaplan because it is harder or use Exam Cram because it is ...

Sorry if you feel that way but many students experienced the same thing but they were able to pass. Saunders is really nothing like the NCLEX because Saunders is usually about knowledge and comprehension while NCLEX is mostly about analysis and appli...
First determine what you need to do. It's either you need to focus on content or your test taking skills. If you need to focus on your content, get a book (Saunders, Mosby, Kaplan RN Course Book) any book will do since it features the same thing. I u...
abcdwakwak replied to Clever User Name's topic in NCLEX
Oh yeah, one last thing. There is no such thing as "percent" in NCLEX because it's all random and it's either you're ready or not. How would you know if you're ready? It's when you consistently get the prioritization, delegation, and safety and infec...
