    Katheemarie replied to Gold2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wonder if you don't over guess at times. I was online reviewing Qs and noticed many that I would have gotten right if I'd gone with my 1st choice. I find too that I have difficulty choosing between...

    Katheemarie replied to Gold2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Katheemarie replied to Gold2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am scheduled mid June for the NCLEX-RN. I worked as an RN over 20 years ago and found out if I pass the test I can get my RN back (refresher course recommended). I've forgotten so much and there is...

  17. Is it possible to study too much for NCLEX?

    Katheemarie replied to SusanRN82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you can overdo it. I'm giving myself 3 months of study. Part of me was saying "more, more, you'll need more" since I've been out of nursing and nursing school for ages. But I didn't want to...

    Katheemarie replied to mzoptimistic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    "So my advice is do what works for you and don't memorize." Really? You don't advise memorization? There are so many meds I have no idea about and I'm trying to brush up on all the many lab values, as...

    Katheemarie replied to RN6157's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'll be taking it for the first time since I've been out of nursing (20 years!) and so much has changed! As I'm reading and studying my books I'm thinking this is what a physician should know, and it...

    Katheemarie replied to RN6157's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, you did the best you could, and perhaps you did fine! Unfortunately, the high anxiety is common but doesn't help. From what I've read, you have no control over the types of questions you may get,...

    Katheemarie replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
