  1. That's true that as long as you have a legal form about the name change, you can take the test. If that was the issue, they wouldn't let you in to test at the beginning rather than cancelling your...
  2. If you are taking NCLEX in English, you need to learn English first. Without the language, you can do all the test preps and questions out there and still fail with 75 questions. You grammar isn't...
  3. That would be enough. I realized passing NCLEX is highly related to how your school prepared you. Check your school's pass rate and this will give you an idea of how to prepare for NCLEX. I know...
  4. No. It was a social life altering and for me mind-altering event also. lol. I didn't have chance or time to feel like a professional or anything because of all that

  6. Meaning of test results of Kaplan Diagnostic Exam

    I don't know if you took readiness test, but readiness has more analysis and application questions than diagnostic test. So people tend to score little lower on readiness. Take readiness too, and if...
  7. Meaning of test results of Kaplan Diagnostic Exam

    On my readiness, not diagnostic, I did 63% and that was somewhere between 89 to 96% probability for passing NCLEX, according to my Kaplan course instructor. So, yours sure is more than 96%, but I...
  8. Unless they interviewed you in person, it has nothing to do with how you look or what you are, etc. Simply, out of that 55 applicants, there were at least 19 of them with higher grades/scores than you...

  10. Any June NCLEX Test Takers Out There?

    Hello everyone! I am taking NCLEX-RN June 6th. But I might reschedule it based on my work schedule. I have a question for everyone. Anybody studying Kaplan? if so, how are your scores on Q Trainers?...
  11. Passed NCLEX-RN!

    Congratulations for passing!! I get very relieved as I read NCLEX passers' Kaplan scores don't have to be perfect to pass this exam. Because my Kaplan scores are around high 50's to low 60's. I...
  12. In my case, more questions or content?

    I am taking my NCLEX-RN in less than 2 weeks, and I am also studying from Kaplan. I am wondering the same thing; content review vs. questions. However, one suggestion I can give you and myself is...
  13. so i called in sick today...

    How was your attendance overall? Have you ever gotten in trouble for this at work before? Have you called in sick few times recently? I see if the problem is only calling in sick today, your...
  14. Is making friends in school important?

    I don't care about making friends in college. In pre-requisite classes, I don't think I made one single friend. In nursing school, well, automatically you become friends for spending that much time...
  15. Nclex exam terrified!

    I know Kaplan in general is good. So you should be doing the right studying. When do you take it? I scheduled mine for june 6th and I am freaking
  16. Job offers while still in school

    I had interview like 10 days before my graduation and offered the position on my pinning day. I applied only 1 position at 1 hospital and got hired. The factors that affected my quick hire: 1. this...
  17. Also, always get along well with the floor nurses you work with, at clinicals. Make sure and leave a good impression. That also helped me get a
  18. When you go to clinicals, get familiar with the unit/floor managers. Always be nice and such. Especially on your last semester, when doing your preceptorship and/or clinicals, meet the manager and...

    Favorites: 1. L&D, nursery (I am actually dying to be an OB nurse!) 2. med-surg 3. OR Non-favorites: 1. LTC 2. Dialysis nursing 3. Maybe peds. I am not sure if I like pediatrics or
  20. Nurse/Student ratio at clinicals

    Oh my... OP, I feel sorry for the students, and more sorry for the floor nurses who "have to" work with students on top of their patient workload. My class had 18 people and we had 3 clinical groups....
  21. It is awesome to get scholarship from a facility like this. However, unless you are interested in LTC nursing, don't accept it. I personally wouldn't. Because I haven't heard nor seen a LTC facility...
  22. Nurse/Student ratio at clinicals

    Well, in my program and the nursing schools I know of, our clinical instructors were obligated to work with students, not nurses on the floor; except for taking/giving reports, and sharing any...
  23. I finished ADN program, and my assignments were like this from the first day of nursing school to the last. Well, not necessarily you'll get this much, some less, some more; it depends. One thing for...
  24. I don't know what semester you are in, but hey welcome to nursing school. Yes it kills, and it is overwhelming and intense. Culture papers wise, yes I think it is a helpful and needed assignment. I...
