My husband's posted 48 hours after he COMPLETED the test. He started at 7:30 am, finished at 9:30 and his results posted 2 days later at 9:30 on a Saturday. Good luck! :)
From what I've read the scores you should be getting on practice exams depends on what sources you are using. Some books/reviews are more difficult than others. If I'm not mistaken, Kaplan recommends you get 65% on their exams. My husband just pas...
If you did fail at 265 it means you were close to passing. Not that it makes you feel any better. When you go all the way to 265, the computer can't determine with 95% confidence that you passed or failed, so your score will depend on whether you w...
My husband took it Thursday. He had 75 questions, 18 SATA, no calculations, but he did have several pharm questions. He did the "trick" and got the pop-up. Just found out today he did indeed pass. :)
I remember seeing that question in the Saunders book. The rationale stated that administering oxygen would be wrong because you have to have a doctor's order. The above poster is correct...never make assumptions with NCLEX questions! :)
If you failed with Kaplan, then you probably need content. My husband failed the first time. He did the retake this morning, did the PVT and got the "good pop-up." He reviewed and practiced questions for about 7 weeks before the second test. He t...
My husband is taking his right now! He studied so much and of course you still get nervous and don't feel 100% prepared. You are in my prayers! Just trust God to guide the test to your strengths and guide you to the answers!! :) Have faith and k...
Maybe you should do some content review and save LaCharity for one of the last things you do. My husband worked on content then did LaCharity and he scored high on the tests. He used the NCLEX-RN Made Incredibly Easy review book and their Q&A b...

I'm so sorry.. I don't know how it is with the PN, but with the RN if you fail you lose your graduate nurse status. I wish you all the best for next time.

When do you plan on taking your test? My husband is taking his (2nd time) on the 25th. I wish you well on your next time! You and my hubby both will be part of that 53%!!

Don't get wrapped up in the statistics. I read that 53% of 2nd time takers pass. Just make up your mind that you are going to be one of those 53%, set up a study plan and stick to it. I've seen several posts that state you have to get "above passi...

Maybe it seemed harder because you were more prepared and you were getting higher level questions throughout your test. You probably came closer to passing this time around. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you this time (although PVT may not be 10...

The passing standard is increasing .05 logits (don't know how much that is), management of care is being increased while reduction of risk potential is being decreased. Heart/lung sounds are being added as well. NCSBN describes the changes as "mini...
