    Failed the NCLEX... now what?!

    ashleyrosesf replied to KV12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm so sorry you're going through that. I can only imagine how frustrating is must be. It definitely isn't a predictor of your nursing abilities or a reflection on how smart you are. This time around...

    ashleyrosesf replied to suntan5163's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! You've totally got this. I'm doing mine in a few days in California! Just remember to go slow with each question, especially on the first 10 which are arguably the most important as it will...

    Looking for study tips that really work.

    ashleyrosesf replied to beefsolady's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Got it. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend Kaplan. They really go over how the test goes and what you need to know. The questions are at a similar level of difficulty to Nclex. From what...

    Looking for study tips that really work.

    ashleyrosesf replied to beefsolady's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There's no "one size fits all" study advice, unfortunately. In doing Kaplan, what were your "weak" areas? Did you take all the tests and review the rationales? Watch the content video and seek other...

    ashleyrosesf replied to nursey909's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    (Note - this is just what has been working for me and what I've heard! May not be the same for you.) Don't be super concerned about the questions score. I know people who scored in the 50s and passed...

    There are some really great hospitals in Bakersfield. I'm starting the versant program at San Joaquin Community Hospital next month and it's seriously gorgeous. On par with the magnet hospitals (just...

    Kaplan Help

    ashleyrosesf replied to Happy_RN123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm referring to the first 10 questions taken in a test (like one of the QT or 50 Qbank). They're one of the more important parts of the exam, from what I've been told, since it puts you either in the...

    Kaplan Help

    ashleyrosesf replied to Happy_RN123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have you been looking at the rationale of the questions you've missed and looking for a pattern of weak areas or question styles (ie SATA)? Also, according to my Kaplan instructor you should be...

    ashleyrosesf posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations all you amazing new nurses! I love following all the stories on here and it's making me hopeful. I take my test on the 26th of this month in LA. SATA are still stumping me. Any...

    SATA

    ashleyrosesf replied to ashleyrosesf's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks! The thing that my Kaplan instructor (also my Dean) said was that what you resists persists on boards, which I firmly believe. Math, drugs, and SATA are my weak points so I'm trying to be as...

    Nurses needed in CA?

    ashleyrosesf replied to LPN2BSN15's topic in California Nursing

    As I'm sure you know, if you want to get into acute care (even with your LPN experience) you need to do it ASAP. Every nurse recruiter I've talked to about home health & hospice (what I love...

    Nurses needed in CA?

    ashleyrosesf replied to LPN2BSN15's topic in California Nursing

    If you have to move out to California (not by choice), it may be harder to find a position but you definitely will if you're proactive. Will it be slightly harder to be in an area trying to find a job...

    Hey everyone! My only complaint about this community is the tendency to be a little negative (especially about the Nclex) so I thought it might be nice to start a support thread for people who are...
