this thread really uplifts my spirits however i just found out i failed the nclex for the 5th time. does anyone have any advice. my last 2 tests i answered 265 questions. the last test i had a lot of priorty, discharge, and 2 delegation questions...

Can you tell me exactly how you studied? I need to know exactly what to do and what percentage is considered passing on the cd. Thanks so much

It takes a special person to be an oncology nurse. I could never do it. I am 23 years old now and I was 8 years old holding my mom's hand begging her not to leave me. Yes, she had the dreadful word, malignant lymphoma. The nurses were so wonderfu...

If nursing is what you want to do, dont ever let anyone tell you you cant do it. You can do anything you set your mind to. I would try at another school instead of the one you are at now. It sounds like they are not student advocates there. It is...

Congratulations. :balloons:

And I sure had rather have a male OB/GYN than a female. I dont see any difference in a male nurse and a male OB/GYN.

My Husband And I Were Both In School At The Same Time. I Am Out Now But He Is Still In School. He Worked At A Hospital The Days (or Nights) He Was Off. I Worked The Nights I Was Off. We Have 2 Kids And Thankfully Our Parents Kept Them. We Got Gr...

See how crazy this is- I graduated from an AD program last May. My husband is in a BSN program right now. He will tell you in a heartbeat that he wishes he had gone to a AD program (which he got accepted also but chose the BS). He said it is all ...

[ I'ts pretty darn hard to be able to pinpoint who is going to be the competent nurse by the NCLEX alone, IMO. Thank you!!!

I have talked with KAPLAN which I am signed up for. They seem to think (because I answered 265 questions the last 2 times I have taken the test) that I just have trouble making a decision between 2 answers. They seem to think I know my nursing cont...

I understand that but the advice I asked for actually wasnt even about the guy in my class. I was making a point about how boards make no sense whatsoever, and how an A student can fail boards and others can pass. I wasnt putting him down either. ...

Actually, I never even noticed it until you said something. I have no idea. Sometimes if I am at work, I have to use all caps for the program I have to use. I dont know how it happened that the first letter of every word happed to be capitalized. ...

Thanks To All Of You For Your Kind Words And Reassurance; I Thought This Was A Place Where You Didnt Get Criticized For The Things You Say. But Its Ok. I Have Signed Up For Kaplan. Some Of You Guys Here Are Wonderful And I Feel Like I Know You By ...

well see, i didnt work my butt off for 2 years of nsg school to quit taking board just because i failed. i knew enough to make it through school (and not to mention i had a baby in fourth semester and went back to school 2 days after my discharge- ...

I AM SO SORRY. THAT IS SO SAD. BUT YOU KNOW YOU ARE BLESSED. YOU ARE SO STRONG. I AM ALSO 23 AND HAVE 2 KIDS, BEEN MARRIED 4 YEARS, AND MY KIDS ARE HEALTHY. I DONT KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. YOU WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS.

no way no how. there are too many couples out there longing for babies. then there are those who are blessed to be able to carry a child, they spit them out like candy, and kill them. how awful. abortion is murder.

the answer is b. when a pt has chf you dont want to put them into fluid volume excess because they have a weak heart and their heart doesnt pump like it should, so you should avoid anything excessive in sodium. because people in fve should be on a ...

when i was in nursing school, we (the students) were never SITTING around the desk to answer the call bell. we were starting ivs, inserting foleys, anything we could because if we were sitting somewhere to be able to answer the telephone or call bel...

I know exactly how you feel. I also graduated in May and I have taken and failed boards five times. It is so stressful. I also have 2 kids. I am going to take the Kaplan course and retest in May. I now have to take the new format test. Just han...

So The Test Wont Be Harder, Just A Different Format? I Am Really Nervous About It

when i was in nsg school and we were getting all our paperwork together, our instructor told us to put even a speeding ticket on our form. she said it is better to be honest, and she said as long as you are honest and tell them ahead of time (before...

thanks yvonneRN2B; I JUST FEEL LIKE I WASTED MY TIME IN NSG SCHOOL. AND NOW I HAVE TO SIT FOR BOARDS WITH THE NEW FORMAT AND I HAVE TO SCORE HIGHER TO PASS NOW BECAUSE I CANNOT RETAKE UNTIL MAY. I KNOW EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON AND ALL I CAN ...
