hi Clueless28 I am actually from Canada and I had the HURST review as one of my sources for my first attempt. Didn't work very for me. Do you have any other review materials that you could share? thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm taking the NCLEX-RN this March of 2012 for Michigan. This is going to be my second attempt. I needed some help on how and what to study. I would really appreciate if someone could recommend me a particular study guide or any compilations that they have to get me started. As of now, I'm reviewing my notes from HURST and some compilations that a good friend sent me. thank you!:)

PM me Esperanza2000

melmarie23... i started practicing with the questions from the site. thank you! do you recommend the kaplan as well. trends here suggested it so much, said the questions are more like NCLEX questions... really HARD. were the reviewer you used helpful?! (saunders, etc)?

not yet! but i can't wait to received so i'll know where i was weak at!

english isn't my first language. honestly, I don't know what my weakness really is. I guess maybe the English or maybe I needed some more studying on nursing content. would you be able to suggest anything else that I could do differently this time? I have taken the HURST course and It helped me alot with studying content it's just that stupid computer (excuse my french) asked me questions that were not covered in the course.

do anyone of you knows a site where in I can practice lotsa nclex questions? the kaplan review and qbank are expensive. I've already spend much for the Hurst review and they don't even respond to my cry for help both via phone and email. maybe because I live here in Canada? we may not know. anyhow, please anyone? i am starting to study now and i don't want to waste a single time as I wanted to pass the EXAm so bad. I believe that everything that i'm going through right now and for the past year, every single thing of this happens for a reason. I alwasy believe that HE is giving me this much trials in my life right now because HE has a better, much bigger plan for me! I am still keeping a positive view on things!

thanks for that advice marcos9999. is there as well any other way that you studies precisely for the exam. It did took me long to answer each questions as I am being puzzled which one to chose as some seems appropriate answers. it took me 2 hours for that 75 questions and I didn't really think that i have to answer them as quick as I could. thanks for that. hoping you could give me more tricks as to how to prepare myself. reight when I found out that i failed, I registered through pearsonvue again. I know I can be an RN, i just need to pass this stinking NCLEX exam.

i did actually got my result and I failed which is hard to believe coz i struggled on so many questions. is that KAPLAN 2007 book you are referring to bamagt or a review course as well?

no I have not. some of the girls that i've known have taken HURST and pass it the first try. i thought I was getting the hard questions as I was stucked with lotsa questions on delegation and teaching and i stayed on those questions for about 3-4 minutes. i have not gotten questions in peds or maternity. it's just so unfair that I have not given a chance to prove myself even more. 75 questions to determine my fate is just harsh.

hello everyone, i have taken the July 3rd NCLEX and as to my dismay, I failed yet again. I always wanted to be an RN and this examination is the only thing that's holding me back towards achieving my dreams to become an RN. I have taken the online HURST review in my preparation for this exam and as to my surprise, I only utilize few of the info I have learned from the content of the course, and I know the materials by heart. I know for sure that i did not pass as I guessed the whole time i was taking the exam. I had 4 math calculation questions, atleast 3-4 SATA, teaching/management delegation, and few priority, and pharm about a drug i never heard before, same drug over and over again. I am almost to a point of just giving up but I have read a lot of trends hear that struggled as well and did not give up. For some reason, I am a person that can't seem to pass any of the RN licensure exam and I want to break that mentality. I know and believe that eveything happens for a reason. it's been a year since I graduated from nursing school and i feel like i am running out of time. 2009 wasnt a good year for me and it turned out the 2010 is the same thing. I really need some help as to how I prepare this time around. any words of encouragement are highly appreciated as well. I wanted to be an RN so badly and I wanted to pass this exam. Please Help! anyone?:crying2:

It's CARNA in ALberta tedy and no, apparently that isn't one of my options. I have called them the day I received my letter. either I take the whole nursing program again or provide them with such reasons like death of a family member, etc. Those are my only options and the lady said which applies to every province in Canada except Quebec/

Hello Tedy, Are you sure about that? CARNA have given only two options and I asked them so many times if there's any other way other than taking the program all over again and they said none and which applies to every other provinces in Canada. where did you learn about this? I would really love to hear more. nonetheless, I'll try to contact the university about this. thank you!

thank you for the prayers you guys! ofcourse, I won't give up just like that... and I'm looking to any possibility especially now that I have found out one doesn't necessarily has to have a License but a 4 year degree would beneeded to apply to some states. For whatever reason this is happening to me now, I know our God is a faithful God and he keeps his promises and and never tires of hearing our prayers... I'm finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel!

I have received the letter containing my options. re-entry program is not one of my options. rather, they are requiring me to take nursing school all over again (4-years). the fact that I'm a point away from passing it on my third attempt (got 141 passing of 142) is really breaking me to pieces right now! i could consider having my marks re-scored but they said they already did. tell me not to quit now, but i cant afford going back to school for another 4years. I have my student loan and other stuff to pay. life is harsh! I don't know if anyone here has to go through the same situation that I'm going through right now. I have no more tears to shed! Life can throw any kind of trial to me right now and I could careless.
