It always depends on how people do as a whole... but most people scored 140s-150s.

Actually, this past NCLEX passing rate was around 97%. There would almost be 500+ students trying to apply to the program each year. The pre-req class content is still the same but they might add pathophysiology or pharmacology prior to the program.

I was thinking about this recently and wondered how nurses are supposed to go about this especially when it seems like many nurses do this in the workplace. I feel like others will join just to go along with it to feel accepted or because there a BIG...

It depends on your study style! Some people can read online w/o writing down notes or highlighting... or they may keep notes in a separate book. I personally liked having a physical book with me... I liked writing in the book. Both have pros and cons...

usually, that's a good sign. honestly, wait 2 days and get the real results because it tells you right then and there.

they say that majority pass at 75 questions as opposed to failing :)

In the end, it doesn't matter what people think. It's what you want to pursue and if it's something that's been in your mind for that long, do it. Seriously, it's now or never. Many times, we sit there and day-dream our what ifs...well, how about we ...

First of all, things happen and we're not perfect. I personally thought the NCLEX was a DIFFICULT EXAM. Do not beat yourself up over it, it's like a big crush to your soul but it's not the end of the world, remember that. Stop, breathe and give you y...

Both ED fellowships are filled! :)

Oh, yes! I sat with other candidates and saw their GPAs, resumes...etc. Some of them definitely were there through connections... Go for it if you can!

Hi guys, I was wondering... what was the 3rd round like? Is it an interview? What do you think they were looking for if it's an informational session?

ZellRN, did you call them back?

Any updates, guys? Wondering how the process is going...

Try to go for a BSN program especially if you're in NY, there aren't many places hiring ADN nurses... It's already difficult with a BSN but the Institute of Medicine is trying to have nurses extend their education.

anyone hear back? or is it filled?

How did you find out? Were you interviewed?

How do you set up your day? I usually started off my day doing a trainer or questions then rest and read. You might recognize things from nursing school. To help lessen the load to study, go over topics you're unsure about. It definitely lightened th...

I found the NCLEX-RN to be very much similar to Kaplan as opposed to Hurst. I think the Hurst exams were a lot easier than Kaplan but NCLEX felt more clear than Kaplan. What helps is knowing your core content, going over things you're still unsure ab...

hi all, i was looking up graduate school requirements and all of them required the GRE (this means the general exam, right?) was it tough? i was wondering if any of you could recommend to me some books that were helpful to you. i don't perform too ...

thanks guys! i went out to check out the kaplan book and supposedly, ETS is getting ready to change the GRE in August of 2011. Educational Testing Service (ETS), the organization that writes and administers the GRE, has announced a series of major ch...

Thanks! Our program type is diploma right?

guys, how do we exactly join NSNA and NSO? Didn't they say they were going to send websites?

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH getting all this stuff done makes it feel much more hectic but i guess you're right, we're learning about time management earlier...haha.

WHOA! when did they go over the CPR certification? Did the earlier sections walk out? So we have to acquire the CPR certificate by the American Heart Association, but which one is it? I'm looking up the classes but it says "Choose A Course"... help...
