   RNQuiz.com, anyone using this site?

   sweet2heart009 replied to chevyv's topic in NCLEX

   I used RNquiz.com and i liked the content part, but I felt like the quizzes and the exams did not resemble the NCLEX at all. I felt like it was just reviewed the information learned in nursing school, but did not help learn what was needed to prioritize and delegate and such. I paid for it and copy and pasted all the info and printed it out so i didn't have to stare at the computer all the time. It is a good review to keep for the future. I used http://www.vipramed.com/vm/main/login.asp also, which was A LOT like what i got on my NCLEX-RN exam. It is a little pricy, but i believe that was the reason i passed. Good luck :)

   Failed NCLEX RN

   sweet2heart009 replied to nthomp14's topic in NCLEX

   nthomp14, just found out this morning, i passed!!!!! before doing that website i posted i was doing horrible on questions. i felt a lot more confident practicing with the questions, which there was over 4,000 questions to practice with. i believe i did just about all 4,000 of them. i felt more confident going into the test practicing with those than i did the last 2 times. although ppl say not to, i practiced the night before with taking 75 questions to make sure i could sit still long enough. third time was a charm, and what a great day to find out the same day my best friend got married :) :) good luck!!

   took NCLEX-RN this morning

   sweet2heart009 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Took NCLEX-RN this morning. Computer shut down at 84 questions. Tried the Pearson Vue trick when i got home, and i put in all the information needed to schedule a test and got a pop up saying that i could not schedule another test. Is that a good sign? or did i get on to try to reschedule too early???

   Failed NCLEX RN

   sweet2heart009 replied to nthomp14's topic in NCLEX

   I feel the same way you do. I have taken my NCLEX-RN 2 times already and failed both times and got all 265 questions. I am to retake it tomorrow morning, and im scared. I feel as if i know the content and im very comfortable with it. My main focus this time around for studying was just going over and over questions that tell u the rationale right after you answer it. that way, you can concentrate on the problem and see what you did wrong. Most of them i saw i was reading the wrong way. try slowing down ur pace at reading and then re-read the question after you have read the answers. here is the website i used for practicing taking the questions. it does cost money, but $50 for one month is worth it to me if it's going to help me practice. http://www.vipramed.com/vm/main/login.asp good luck. hope this helps!

   Need help with creating a study schedule

   sweet2heart009 replied to yellagyrl56's topic in NCLEX

   hey, apparently i can't email on here. I used a basic NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN Kaplan test prep book. The RN book helped me more than the PN book. I took my exam a few months after graduating from my LPN program and while I was in the RN program, so some of the stuff that was on my NCLEX-PN i learned in the RN program before I went to take the test. I just knew the material very well and felt at ease when i was in the testing center and when i got out. hope this helps.

    I take my NCLEX-RN in less than 48 hours. I have been studying non-stop for the past 2 weeks except working 2 overnight shifts. I passed the NCLEX-PN with no problem, but this is my third time taking the RN. I have been taking practice question and get atleast 50% of them right. The website I have been using just gives a percentage of what i got right, so how do i know if i'll pass or not being the NCLEX is not based on percentage right? Any advice?

    Salisbury University 2nd Degree BSN

    sweet2heart009 replied to nursing8648's topic in Maryland

    i currently go to SU. I got my ADN degree from Wor-Wic and am going for my bachelors, which is kind of like the 2nd degree program. i love the instructors so far. They are always willing to help and answer your emails very quickly. Karen Badros is an excellent instructor and she knows what she's talking about. I just started taking the "nursing classes" portion in fall 09, got 2 semesters left. So far, i feel like i have learned more in 1 semester through the health assessment than i did at wor-wic for assessment.

    are the questions similar on the 2nd time taking nclex

    sweet2heart009 replied to christinaalomar's topic in NCLEX

    i have taken the nclex twice, both times got all 265. both times i took it the questions were completely different. i took the passing standard from both and used that as a basis of where im studying for my next, and hopefully final testing next week.

    Starting to get very frustrated.

    sweet2heart009 posted a topic in NCLEX

    I have been studying for the NCLEX-RN for a while now. I graduated in August 2008 from nursing school at a community college. I took my NCLEX the first time that September, and then took them again around May 09 and failed both times. I got all 265 questions both times. I am scared to take the test again. I have my LPN license, but I want to continue my education and eventually get my BS in nursing. I have been continuing in school to complete it and taking RN classes, but so far doesn't seem to be boosting my confidence. I am scheduled to take it again next week, January 21st. I keep studying and taking practice tests. I am getting really frustrated because when going over the material I feel like I know the information but then when I take the practice tests, I don't get a score I think I should get. Anyone have any suggestions?
