PVT was 100% correct for me!! My name was posted at 8AM this morning!!! God never fails!

I forgot to add that you should also PRAY PRAY PRAY! Because God answers prayers!

Good luck!!! I'll keep you in my prayers! I was in your shoes last week as I just took my exam today after failing back in July. Don't get discouraged by those unsupportive people in your lives!! If anything, use those crazys as motivation to prove that what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger!! My advice to you during the exam is TAKE YOIUR TIME!! I rushed the first time around because I just wanted the screen to shut off. This time I took my time, and what do you know I finished with 75 qs and got the good popup! Relax!! You'll do just fine too!

I'm back!! I just did the PVT and got the good popup!! Last time I failed, I went all the way to the cc page so lets hope it works this time for me too!!!

Thank you all for the support! I will be leaving in a couple of hours! YIKES!!

Please pray for me!! I will be retaking the exam tomorrow after failing in July with 265qs! First time around, I solely used Kaplan complete and thought it was enough but heck was I sooo wrong! A lot of their content videos were outdated and didn't contain all of the info you needed on every disease process. This time around I used saunders, lacharity, and mosbys and am hoping that it will be enough. I have a lot of pressure on me to pass this darn test this time around because I am surrounded by a lot of negative people who are not very supportive of me. Just because I failed the first time, some of my siblings and their partners made fun of me, saying that I wasn't smart enough to pass the test and that my BSN was worthless (but get this, those people don't even have any sort of post secondary education degrees!). Anyway, I am thankful to say that at least I have a little bit of support from my parents, three young boys, and husband. Please keep me in your prayers as I really want to prove all those negative people wrong and make my parents proud!!

Just a reminder that there is only one day left to download ebooks from kaplan for free!

You have the iBooks app too correct? All you have to do is go into the iBooks app and search for kaplan or those titles I have listed. Hope that helps!

I have been contemplating on purchasing the Kaplan Strategies book for a while now, but because I took the complete course for my first attempt and didn't pass (had all 265Qs), I didn't want to have to lose more money on the Strategies book. Luckily I stumbled upon this Free Kaplan ebooks promotion that they're running until the 30th of this month on iBookstore. You must have an iphone, ipod, or ipad and the ibooks app (which is also free to download) in order to download the ebook. The free ebook is available through iBooks, so remember you have to go into your iBooks app in order to find and download those free books. Good luck to everyone who is preparing for the exam and please pray for me as I will be retaking the exam on September 9th!! Hope this helps some of you here!!

Please don't be discouraged!! This might vary from state to state, but here in MN as long as you have completed a year of clinicals from Nursing school, employers can use that in lieu of a Nursing Assistant certificate! I was able to work as a Nursing Assistant/Resident Assistant in a Assisted-Living facility after my Junior year in college. It might be different for the state you live in, but it's worth a shot looking into it right? BTW, CONGRATULATIONS on the pregnancy!!

Congratulations RN!!! So did you solely use NCSBN's Comprehensive Online Review this time around or did you take Kaplan as well? I am retaking the exam in a few weeks and I'm not sure if I should opt for NCSBN's review too or stick with my Saunders book and nclex 4000 (I did Kaplan the first time and it didn't work for me). Thank you!

Good luck!! I hope you passed!

I will be crossing my fingers for you too! I was in the same boat as you over the weekend, but yesterday, I finally found out that I did indeed fail after answering all 265 qs. Good luck!!

Congratulations on the newborn and passing the NCLEX!! You deserved it!!!
