    starmickey03 replied to Inori's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Any such thing as too many review materials? (Kaplan & Hurst)

    starmickey03 replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks! I just wanted to know what others thought. I think I'll just stick with Hurst strictly for content and use Kaplan for the strategies and for the QTrainers and QBanks. I agree with you Mya, the...

    Do I have to take the NCLEX in the state I graduated from?

    starmickey03 replied to mommynurse11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thats not true. You dont have to take the test in the state you plan to work. And taking the test in a particular state doesnt mean that your license has to be in that state. You can take the test...

    starmickey03 replied to mommynurse11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Anybody Looking to test in July?

    starmickey03 replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If Im not mistaken low 60s is okay for NCSBN. I think their scoring system is somewhat like Kaplan, anything 60 and above is considered good just because the questions are so difficult. So try not to...

    starmickey03 replied to mommynurse11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know a girl who graduated last year that highly recommended NCSBN. She said the questions were really similar to the ones she encountered on NCLEX. According to her it's only $50 for 3 week

    starmickey03 replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't do a HESI course. Our school uses the HESI tests at the end of every semester to monitor our knowledge. And they use the exit HESI as an indicator of whether we will do well on the

    I paid for the Kaplan online review. And our school includes the Hurst review in our tuition; we do the Hurst review this coming Monday-Wednesday. I also have tons of study resources but I think I'm...

    starmickey03 replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay that makes sense. Thanks so much! I'm doing the online review and they never told us in the videos that we wouldn't be able to see the answers/rationales for the diagnostic

    starmickey03 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just did my diagnostic exam last night and got a 67.22% (praying that thats good), but for some reason I cant view the answers/rationales. When I try to review I can see the breakdown of the...

    starmickey03 replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just did my Kaplan diagnostic test last night and got 67%. Surprisingly my peds score was okay but my women's health score was low. So apparently I need to review my OB content like I thought. I'm...

    Do I have to take the NCLEX in the state I graduated from?

    starmickey03 replied to mommynurse11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes each state has its own Nurse Practice Act but the NCLEX doesn't test you on laws in each individual state. And it's for the exact reason you listed. If someone goes to school in OH but tests in...

    This is so very weird to me. Have all the facilities you've worked at had electronic charting? Or do these places still use paper

    CNA's documenting in charts...

    starmickey03 replied to luvmy2angels's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm assuming this is only significant in LTC facilities. At the hospital I work at the PCA's chart in the patients record, which is electronic so the patient only has one chart that all those...
