  1. Well, I guess we'll see. I felt like I was doing half-way decent about 85-95 questions into it. But then I started feeling fatigued and just wanted to get through it. I started losing hope and...
  2. In complete and utter ShOcK!

    Congratulations, copelald! That is awesome. What a great amount of effort you put into this to get there. You deserve a three cheers! I just took the test today, and tried the PVT trick. I walked...
  3. Took NCLEX-RN today and got the good pop up 40 min. later!

    I took the test today and tried the Pearson Vue "trick." I got a pop-up that said the candidate had already registered. It did not mention the candidate had already passed the test, nor did it take...
  4. aPTT vs PTT values on NCLEX

    I see this question never got answered. I am taking the NCLEX tomorrow and am wondering the same thing. I've noticed many review books using "PTT" to refer to aPTT ranges. Does anyone have an...
  5. My NCLEX experience......I think I passed!

    Thanks for the response and reassurance, Stcroix. I really appreciate it!
  6. I haven't taken and passed the NCLEX yet, so take my comments as you will. But I can say that, for me, I've had to physically read the review information in the Saunders book as well. I couldn't...
  7. Thanks for the positive words of encouragement. I've been using the Kaplan Strategies book (not sure how different these questions are from the online QBank everyone talks about), The PDA (LaCharity)...
  8. answering SATA

    Are you referring to this website? Main Menu - NCLEX-RN 3500 - Institutional Version I hate to enter into something that might be a virus in disguise.
  9. My NCLEX experience......I think I passed!

    Congratulations! I'm concerned b/c I'm doing well on my cumulative practice tests through NCLEX 4000 and Saunders, but I don't do very well on SATAs.....I fear if I get a lot of SATAs, I'll fail the...
  10. How I passed NCLEX-RN

    Congrats! And thanks for posting. Sounds like you did an awesome job and deserve to celebrate!
  11. My 2013 NCLEX Experience. Worth a read.

    Congratulations! And thanks for sharing your story! Extra kudos to you for getting through school and passing the NCLEX with three kids!
  12. Minimum competency question

    For the NCLEX, do you have to show a minimum competency level in each individual topic area? Or do you have to show an overall minimum competency level on the test as a whole? Looking at this,...
  13. How many weeks did you take to study for the NCLEX? And how many test questions did you do a day? I'm about 2 weeks out and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. I don't feel like I'm where I'd like to...
  14. I started studying these topics, but find that I am extremely weak on them because my school did not focus on them much. My school has a very high passing rate for the NCLEX, which makes me think...
  15. How many weeks did you all study for the test?

    How would you guys compare the NCLEX test questions to Saunders, NCLEX 4000, etc. I have been studying from Saunders, NCLEX 4000, and Kaplan NCLEX-RN Strategies, Practice, and Review. I find that...
  16. Saunders review CD

    I would also love to know the answer to this. I find that Saunders helps me recall (and retain) the material much easier than something like the NCLEX 4000. I find Saunders to be far more effective...
  17. How many weeks did you all study for the test?

    @ RachNurse....thank you for the detailed response. My schooling background and studying situation sound somewhat similar to yours....It actually made me feel a lot better about where I'm at right...
  18. How many weeks did you all study for the test?

    Wow! Kudos to you for being such a smart cookie. Thanks for the response, but I don't think I could do it like you did. I'll be curious to hear from others about this,
  19. Practice Qustions any suggestions would be helpful

    LOL. I just posted a question very similar to yours. I'll be bookmarking your thread to see the responses you get to it. I am in the same boat as you when it comes to not affording the Kaplan...
  20. Thanks for replying to me! I appreciate
  21. I've got about a month to study for the NCLEX. I have purchased Saunder's Comprehensive Review and have already read about 125 pages from the OB section (this is a weaker area of mine). I've done...
  22. Thanks for the response. Did you only use the NCLEX 4000? If not, do you recommend any other resources for NCLEX
  23. I just recently graduated from nursing school and will be taking the NCLEX the end of January. I am quite eager to start visiting nursing homes, hospitals, doctor's offices, etc. to distribute my...
  24. Eager to hit the pavement....

    Once I'm licensed (and if I'm still unemployed), THEN I can start volunteering in the RN
  25. Eager to hit the pavement....

    When you talk about volunteering, I assume this is in a non-RN capacity, since I am not currently
