Good luck. It is a HORRIBLE program. I have no clue how they are accredited. And since it is in Puerto Rico they don't keep track of NCLEX pass rates as the people that live in PR do not need the NCLEX to work there. I failed many times at 75 que...

Wow after 9 years and 1336 posts they closed our thread because it was too long. The original thread and all the helpful posts can be found here: https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/puerto-rico-school-28678.html There are 134 pages in that th...

So I graduated from a BSN program in 2012. I took the NCLEX twice and failed at 75 questions. I moved on. I am i complete limbo and I really want to go back and study and pass the exam. But I didn't learn much to begin with and now it has been over ...

Thanks everyone. I'll definitely look into Ready to Pass. It looks like it is 36 hours of instruction. I was hoping for something a lot longer but I am going to keep looking. I am just glad people are giving me ideas. Thanks again.

I did Hurst but it dumbs down the content. It is not for me. Plus it is still a review. I need something more complex than this. I used my entire inheritance to go through school the first time. Taking a year or two off from working to repeat sch...

So you picked up Saunders recently and only used that? Just curious if you had been studying a bit over the past 3 years or if you worked in healthcare? Or did you take a complete break for 2.5 years and pick up Saunders and pass?

Actually that is not true. Having a 2 year gap on your resume is a lot worse then putting down a BSN even if I didn't pass NCLEX. And healthcare employers like to see that you studied nursing even if it is not what you are doing that moment. I tri...

Megan, like Cahoon said the school was in Puerto Rico. And yes Cahoon some people passed NCLEX without issues although I know a ton of people who have failed taking it 2 and 3 times. Even a student who had worked as an LVN graduated from our school...

OK please don't give any studying advice. I took the NCLEX twice. I failed twice at 75 Q. I did all of Kaplan, every inch of and started repeating the Q Bank. I did Hurst. Started with it online and then did the live version but I don't like how...

Hey Cahoon, I am glad you are doing well. It's nice to see a familiar face/name on here. I have been soooo busy. I was not ignoring you just completely swamped. I swear this EMT program is more rigorous then our school. You know how it was so I ...

I have been doing Kaplan and my average on the Q Bank was at 48% and now it is at 51% but certainly not good enough. And my Question Trainer scores are even lower then that. I did Hurst. I started with the online and then did a live class (don't w...

Thanks ProfRN4. I have pretty much figured out that no matter what you do that is medical related you need to get a license or certificate for that specific job. I had no clue it was like this. I know the EMT is another course and I actually deci...

Again for the 3rd time I am asking about health care related jobs that are possible after studying nursing. If people are going to lecture me on what I should and should not be doing then do not bother to respond. I would like an answer to my que...

Sorry the mail box is so small and I am a packrat so I keep some messages to refer back to. I deleted 2 so there should be room now. Sorry! :-)

You can apply for it but I am pretty sure you need to apply after your first year. Everyone I know was applying to do it the second year. You have to have enough nursing skills to enter the program. Keep in mind the VA only accepts 2 students from...

This was helpful. You tried to answer the question rather then giving me studying advice. t does seem like an EKG tech is another certification but it is a quick one. I am researching various options right now. I may do an EMT course. I know a lo...

My scores for the QT were 45, 49, 39, 48, 51, 53, 53. So they did get progressively better but not enough to pass. I did notice I had about 30% alternative format questions the second time but the computer still stopped at 75. But I really DO NOT ...

Yeah I know I can't do Doctors Without Borders now. I threw in the medi spa and Doctors Without Borders just to mention why I went to nursing school. I had wrote more stuff and deleted it and I probably could have deleted that paragraph. I can defi...

Welcome Jenelle, my name is Jennell and I graduated with a Jennelle and my roommate was Jenniel. I can't believe how many there are of us in Puerto Rico. There are a couple people at La Inter right now with our name. I met way more people with our...

mrd2689a Belle has the perfect example. Many people from FL take it through WI because of the things FL requires like taking the TOFEL. So taking it through WI and then endorsing it is a way of skipping that requirement. Not that a native Engl...

Good luck on your visit. I am on the island now and in fact I am cleaning out my storage unit and selling my car. That is why I am here but I am aslo having a ton of fun. I missed this island so much. I don't want to leave. And the weather is pe...

Matt this has come up over and over and over again. But I know both threads are long. You can take the NCLEX for any state you wish. I am taking it in CA for WI. A lot of people choose WI because it is part of the compact states and it is one of ...

Stephanie I don't think anyone but admissions could answer this question. Anyone that answers it would be guessing. This is definitely something only the school could answer. Sorry.

Hehe, I will actually be there in May too. But obviously for different reasons. Stephanie you can find out about the honors program when you start. You don't have a Bachelors so you can for sure do it and if you maintain above a 3.9 which is easy ...
