  1. Took the NCLEX-RN today (6/29)

    I did the Pearson Vue trick about an hour after I finished the exam and got the good pop up ("Our records indicate...blah blah blah"). I'm so excited!! Based on the threads around here and even the...
  2. Took the NCLEX-RN today (6/29)

    After you take your exam, log on to the Pearson Vue website and try to register to take the exam again. If it won't let you go to the credit card page to pay and you get a pop up saying you've...
  3. Failed NCLEX - Kaplan live course versus Kaplan Qbank?

    I recognized a lot of what was on my exam, but the answer choices weren't what I wanted to see. Some answer choices had me making a "what the...?" face and I'm sure the test proctor was very amused by...
  4. Failed NCLEX - Kaplan live course versus Kaplan Qbank?

    You're welcome! I'm not entirely sure how purchasing Kaplan works on an individual basis. My school arranged for the whole schebang - we (my whole graduating class) did the week long live in-person...
  5. Uniforms

    My school went through some uniform changes over the past two years. Origonally it was an all white uniform with the SON seal on the left arm sleeve. Women were required to either wear a scrub dress...
  6. Failed NCLEX - Kaplan live course versus Kaplan Qbank?

    Sorry to hear that you didn't pass. I'm not a second time test taker, but I did use Kaplan as my main study tool. I tested today, and got the good pop-up. So, for what it's worth, here's my opinion...
  7. Congratulations!! A bet a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders! I was literally shaking today when checking the PVT for the first time. Saw the pop up and I let out this huge breath I...
  8. Took the NCLEX-RN today (6/29)

    The whole test is kind of a blur now. Just myself in general, I tend to second guess myself anyway! My advice would be to just take each answer one at a time. Don't read into the question or answer...
  9. Took the NCLEX-RN today (6/29)

    Hahaha! Thank you!! Make a post/thread whenever you are testing (since you're keeping the date secret! ) so I can send a little prayer up for
  10. PVT I think I passed!

    Congrats on passing! My professor at school says that the trick is reliable. I got the good pop up as well after taking my test
  11. I'll be taking my boards in under two weeks. I'm comfortable with all question formats except the flippin' SATAs. I'm starting to tear myself up over these because I just flat out suck at answering...
  12. Best Community College in NC, Gastonia

    Gastonia county? There's a Gaston county and surrounding Catawba and Carbarus county's. I'm guessing you're moving to Gastonia or Charlotte? I've heard good things about Gaston Community in Dallas,...
  13. NCLEX Tomorrow.

    Just went on a test drive to the testing center. Hopefully the people of the large city I have to venture into are in a good mood around 1:00. Test anxiety is starting to kick in. I'm effectively...
  14. NCLEX Tomorrow.

    Thank you for your prayers! I completely understand. It's almost like I don't remember anything from nursing school at this point. I used Kaplan, our school required we take it after graduation. My...
  15. Did I fail the NCLEX?

    My friend took her NCLEX-RN today. She said she only had 6 SATA, a few exhibits, and a couple of ordering. She did the PVT trick and got the good pop-up. She'll get her quick results on Friday (the...
  16. Doubt about a question

    I would have chosen answer #2. You're right in that "up ad lib" means he has privileges to get OOB when desired. #1 Is brushing off the patient's concerns, when clearly he can, and has orders, to get...
  17. Sata

    I wish I should have spent more time on content preparing for this monster than I have. If I fail, I know that content will be my downfall. I wish I had heard about Hurst earlier on; I watched a...
  18. What textbook do you use for Pediatric Nursing?

    Our school used Maternal and Child Health Nursing: Care of the Childbearing & Childrearing Family (6th Ed) by Adele Pilliterri. My school just squished OB and Peds together into one
  19. Sata

    Oh, I completely understand the feeling! I should have kept my date secret; now my whole family breaths down my neck. Everyime I see them it's, "Are you ready? The big day is coming!" I'm nervous,...
  20. Sata

    Haha! I'm starting to think the test is designed to put us through a rollercoaster ride of emotions. When are you
  21. Sata

    Thank you! Good luck to you as well! I go between thinking "I can do this, I'm just swinging by to pick up my license," to "Oh my God, what I am doing? Did I even learn anything in nursing school?...
  22. Sata

    I didn't do the NCSBN NCLEX review. I just went to their website and looked at all the published info they had on questions and the exam in general to calm me down. I test this Friday, June 29. I've...
  23. omg everybody passed got alot SATA (my weakness)

    Lippincott's publishes a book that contains just alternate format questions. Working my way through it, SATAs seem to dominate in this book...but I still think it's great to practice with all the...
  24. Sata

    The NCSBN test plan says that the SATA questions carry as much weight as all other test items. That some are written at the passing level, whereas others are written at the failing level. Though no...
  25. In your opinion, how difficult are NCLEX SATA questions?

    I'm doing a little better with these questions. A lot of it comes down to content, and normally I'm sitting teetering on one last answer on whether it's true or not. I tend to confuse myself and/or...
