Aside from Kaplan trainer I also used Prioritization by LaCharity, exam cram sheet and https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/infection-control-mnemonics-299890.html. These were all helpful to me and I took the NCLEX in 02/2013. I don't remember the exact scoring system for kaplan but I always aimed to score above 55. I did other question banks in between but I concentrated on Kaplan the most. Good luck!

The way I did mine was by entering the first 3 letter of the month and the year. Fee waived Try APR14. Good luck!

Well that sucks...How do they verify your employment? I wonder if volunteering at a health clinic will allow you to bypass that requirement.

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply, I went on the interview, did ok but they decided to go with someone who had more experience.

Hi all, I'm a new grad and just landed an interview at a plastic surgeons office, I don't have much working experience other than a being a CNA for abot 2 years and babysitting. What can i expect at the interview, i know i'm dreading the "why should we hire you over other more q'ualified candidates" is going to arise. Can someone with similar situation give me advice as to what to expect and respond??? This is my FIRST interview. IM SO NERVOUS!!!

Let me tell you a little something. It is a jungle, some are very disorganized, careless, unprofessional, and some are not experienced (you dont want to be a guinea pig). You will have many surprises, they'll tell you at 8am that theres class at 9am. Make sure you have a flexible job, or an on-call babysitter. Your first nursing semester you will be pampered. Even if you dont see it that way at first you'll remember me in NRS2, they'll baby you. Proffesor Grosso(very proffesional and computer savvy, if you email her at 1 am you'll get a response by 1:30am) is great at answering your questions and making sure you understand things. Gage is good also. When you get to NRS 2, brace yourself. Nothing is in order and they dont care much about the students, they need a certain percentage to fail so that they can have enough seats for NRS3. If you make it out alive put on your seatbelt and carry a parachute cause it only gets worse. ADVICE: read, really read before class, make nursing a priority, study with other students. Clinicals are easy if you like nursing. The library at ECC sucks they close early and are noisy(go figure). Seton hall is the best, they are open 24/5 and students from other schools can stay late. You can go there with other people and stay untill you want, bring food, blankets, red bulls etc. Make sure you get a study group. I didnt do it for NRS 1 but It really helps for NRS 2 and beyond. Good luck!
