I personally don't think they were too easy. The questions had really good rationales and the alternate format questions had similar topics and answers to those on NCLEX. I don't feel like any questions are too easy, bc if you are reading rationale and learning content in the mean time then it is helpful either way.

Hey- I passed NCLEX on the first try on July 20th! It can be done! You ABSOLUTELY have to walk into that testing center like you know u can pass, bc NCLEX questions have to be thought out and you have to be mentally and emotionally prepared to complete that exam! So far everyone in my class who has taken it so far in the last month (6 ppl) have passed the exam, so it is very do-able! Don't be discouraged, stay positive and do questions! You'll do fine! P.S. don't freak out if you get more than 75 questions... I got 83 questions and began to panic once I went past 75. Just stop and calm yourself down, it means nothing!

Well, I didn't do Kaplan..too expensive...I did a content review and questions from Saunders (the medication sections are extremely helpful!) and i purchased the learningext.com questions from the NCSBN, those questions were similar to NCLEX and I used NCLEX 4000, i think their SATA questions were similiar to NCLEX

Congratulations!

I think everyone feels that they failed when they walk out of the testing center! As i posted before, the test cut me off at about 83 questions and I did the pearsonvue trick a few hours after testing (and almost every hour until I got my quickresults!) and got the good pop up everytime and I passed NCLEX! Good luck to you. I took the exam July 20th.

Hey ErinP, I think I am reiterating what has already been suggested, but NCSBN learningext.com questions were very helpful...they are very similar to the real NCLEX questions and offer alot of priority, pharmacology and delegation questions, which I got alot of on my exam. They do offer alternate format but not alot, to better prepare for this, try doing NCLEX 4000... In another thread, an user posted a free link to download this program. I have to say their alternate format questions, including mulitple response questions were very very helpful and were very similar to the mulitple response questions I received on the exam. Besides that Saunders Comprehensive Review offer good content and simple, yet good content based questions. More than anything, keep ur positive attitude, relax because you can do it. Now you have an upper hand bc you know wat to expect! Hope this helps!

Just thought that I will add to the proof that this trick does work...took my NCLEX on the 20th at 8am, did the pearson vue trick at around 2pm and got the good pop up...48 hours later found out I passed thru quickresults!!! So yes, this trick does work and is quite the stress relief after suffering through NCLEX Hope this helps!

Have any of you ladies who haven't found jobs tried internships/externships during school? I live in Chicago and they are have a hiring freeze however, i particpated in a mentorship/internship at two hospitals and had a job before I even got my license (still waiting for my NCLEX results). It is hard to find jobs in this economy, thats y as in ever other profession, we have to network and market ourselves...as in life, sometimes its who u know. Has anyone thought of working in nursing homes? Its hard work but like in my area, its easy for a new grad to get hired quickly. You can usually do a 1-2 years there with home health and be able to apply to hospitals as an experienced RN Good Luck!

Aww Hesi!! I agree with VRN, Hesi for the most part tests your test taking skills, its almost guaranteed to ask u questions about subjects you have NEVER heard of...The best way to improve test taking skills is QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS. I studied for Hesi like NCLEX. I used primarily Saunders Comprehensive Review disk, I actually seen questions similar to those. While doing questions, if i came up with a concept I never heard of then I would review content in the actually book and do HESI hints for the HESI evolve book...also does you school use Evolve website? They have case studies for fundamentals, med-surg, peds, etc., and the case studies actually have pictures and terms used directly in Hesi (Evolve does make the test)...that was pretty helpful! More than anything, remain calm and read each question thoroughly...regardless of the test, some concepts remain the same and thats ABCs, Maslows, Ericksons and Safety! Good Luck

They interviewed the same week for me for two different floors. They were called the following week. Also, when we interviewed there we were given the option to start August/October. I chose August (even though I still don't have my ATT!). But we were both interviewed as internal canidates because we participated in their Mentorship program, so for external canidates they might still be interviewing. If I was you I would def call HR!

Hello all- I applied for the RN internship program at Childrens Memorial. Interview on the 6th I think and was offered a position. I don't know if they are still hiring but I know of another person offered a position too... Hope this helps
