  1. Final freakout

    wannabHishands replied to erinp88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Erin, I am there with you now... Testing tomorrow, and not sure I can quit studying... I didn't do much today, and I am resisting the urge to study any more, but today was a little unnerving. I kept...

    wannabHishands replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with Marcos here, and think you deserve an answer, since you asked for an opinion: The book is good, but don't waste your time or the space on your computer with the Exam Force CD that comes...

  3. just in case... Kaplan guarantee?

    wannabHishands posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Has anyone used the money back guarantee for Kaplan? How particular are they about how much of the class you finished? I only had time to do 67% of the qbanks, but did all of the question trainers,...

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. Is this the right profession for me? How do I start to studying again?

    wannabHishands replied to NowPedsRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, pretend that you are your patient... what would you tell you? You say that anxiety gets the best of you, and that you've tried this three times. Sounds to me like more than you can overcome on...

  10. Math calc rounding

    wannabHishands posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan is driving me nuts! Sometimes it wants me to round, sometimes it doesn't. It never tells me how many places to carry it out to, just always says, "how many ml?". Anyone

  11. Will never really be ready...

    wannabHishands posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So, I've been studying hardcore for five weeks now. I mean morning until night, and only time off for work, for the most part. Took the Kaplan class, reviewing Saunders, Exam Cram, and NCLEX 4000....

    wannabHishands posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. Kaplan question trainer vent/rant

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think that if it is something critical right now, you call the doc... especially if none of your interventions are going to help. For example, if it is compartment syndrome, you need to get that...
