1. Current students, what's so hard?

   RNMedicFL replied to 4myfam's topic in General Students

   I graduated May 5th. I took the NCLEX and passed with 75 questions May 22nd. One way I prepared for the NCLEX was by reading Kaplan's NCLEX Review book. It's 1/2 the size of other review/nursing books because it doesn't cover nursing content. Ins...

2. how long did you study for nclex

   RNMedicFL replied to katzrkool's topic in New Nurse

   Rachel, Relax. Take a deep breath. I've been watching your posts and from what I can tell, you are going to do well. You're doing the right things and asking the right questions. Everyone's experience with the NCLEX is different. I felt that the ques...

3. how long did you study for nclex

   RNMedicFL replied to katzrkool's topic in New Nurse

   I completely agree with BamaGirl. Take it ASAP. I took mine within 3 weeks of graduating (more like 2). I had been doing practice questions off and on for about 1 month. When I got my ATT, I scheduled the test for 7 days later. Over those seven ...

4. Help!!! ??? about Pearson

   RNMedicFL replied to teelaticeNY's topic in New Nurse

   You can send it to Pearson now. That's what I did and everything went super smoothly. I received everything very quickly.

   I got my results this morning and I passed. Just wanted to say thanks to all who wished me well. If I can do it, you can do it! Woo-hoo! :rotfl:

6. For the recent grads!

   RNMedicFL replied to PCGrad06's topic in New Nurse

   Hardest part for me? Balancing school with work and a social life/family. Content-wise I hated pharm and endocrine. What kept me in it? I will make a positive difference in peoples' lives at critical times. I also like a challenge. I believe in...

7. How are you studying?

   RNMedicFL replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in New Nurse

   If you think you're going nuts now, just wait and see how you feel when you've taken the boards and are waiting on the results! Does anybody know the caloric value of fingernails?????

   RNMedicFL replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in New Nurse

   Let's just say I wish I had studied more pharm than I did. My toughest questions were something to the effect of: "Of the following patients, which would you question the order for first?" And then there were 4 choices and each choice named 2 meds t...

9. How are you studying?

   RNMedicFL replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in New Nurse

   I took the NCLEX on Saturday. I knew all my lab values and didn't have a single question about them. I knew the cranial nerves too...nothing. One calculation appeared, but it was very simple. One newborn question. Lots of pharm...LOTS OF PHARM. ...

    RNMedicFL replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in New Nurse

    Thanks for asking...My computer shut off at 75 questions. It's my understanding that that's either a really good thing or a really, really bad thing. Some of the questions I felt pretty good about. Others were guesses. I tried to make educated gu...

11. How are you studying?

    RNMedicFL replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in New Nurse

    I did over 1000 Mosby Questions, plus a bunch of Saunders CD-ROM questions. I also read the Kaplan Book and did the practice test on CD. I'm making sure I know all my normal lab values (electrolytes, Hematology, etc.) and then brushing up on weak a...

12. After ATT, how soon??

    RNMedicFL replied to rainbows4me's topic in New Nurse

    I received my ATT via email this past Thursday. I called Pearson on Friday and scheduled my test for this Saturday. I imagine I could have scheduled even sooner, but I wasn't ready for that! Anyway, I'll cross my fingers for you if you'll cross yo...

13. Authorization to test

    RNMedicFL replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in New Nurse

    My last day of school was May 3rd. Our director promised to send our stuff to the state (Florida) on May 4th. I had all of my applications and payments made at least a month in advance and I received my ATT via email on May 13th. A classmate of mi...

14. New Grad, taking NCLEX this Saturday

    RNMedicFL posted a topic in New Nurse

    I've been visiting this site regularly for the past few months. I finally decided to register and post a thread. It's probably because I'm feeling a little (ok, a LOT) anxious because I'm taking the NCLEX in less than a week. I certainly don't feel...
