DoNotLoseHope

Hello. My story. I graduated college about 10 years ago. I failed my test the first time. I've retaken the test and i'm still not passing. I've worked as a caregiver during those years. I couldn't work in the hospital because my CNA expired. I though...

As long as you keep your file up to date. Or reapply again from scratch. In california, you can take the exam as many times as long as your file is not expired.

Hi everyone! I would like to know if the Kaplan course really helped you to pass your test? Does the Kaplan strategy really work? Did you do the classroom or the full online course? I'm debating if its worth paying that much money. Thank you.

the course that cost $499. i also hear that the kaplan tree can confuse people. i also have the kaplan strategies to pass the RN exam (thin blue book). does that work for anyone?

maybe try the clinics or something smaller. I know most people dont want to work at Abrazo health but its something. try that out. I know some friends who work with Banner. Im trying to get the scoop for you but we will see how far i can get for you....

Maybe its the new grad and being from a different state. Did you apply online? maybe its best you go directly to the location. I dont like how applying for a job is these days, its all robotic. hehe... Also try, abrazo, magellan healthcare i believe....

Hi. I didn't read all the previous comments so I'm not up to date. Are you in phoenix, AZ? Do you have your RN license or working on it? Try Banner health.

does kaplans strategies really do work including the tree? like similar answers should be eliminated and chose between the other two etc etc etc. i have the book and it just gets confusing and takes time to do? did this strategy work for you on you...

CONGRATS!!!! I'm still waiting to pass as well. I'm in the same boat as many of you are. whats the strategy that you used or worked for you? some use the kaplan tree and some basically go with the ABCs and Maslows or just answer what is asked. someti...

Did the Kaplan strategy tree work for anyone during there RN state board? did it even work during your studies? For some reason it doesnt work with me.

So your best advice it ABCs and maslows? any other tricks of the trade?? i need all the advice and help i can get. thank you btw: do you think over studying or getting to detailed with studying can just confuse a person and overthink the question???

justEnuff: do you have any advice or tips on passing the test?? thank you
