  2. Passed with 75 Questions using Kaplan

    havehope posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Everyone, I wanted to share my experience as those that were gracious to share their experiences gave me a little relief while studying for the NCLEX-RN. So, I pretty much used only Kaplan and...

  3. Low KAPLAN scores!! Passed the NCLEX RN!

    havehope replied to Jenni RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!! I, too passed the NCLEX with low Kaplan scores. My scores usually were in the 50-57% range, with some being over 60 if I remember correctly. I knew for sure I was going to have 265...

  4. What's your take as a graduate nurse working nights in med surg

    havehope replied to devhrt12's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree with what the others said above. I am a new graduate working two months of nights and then coming back on days (I started as a CNA on days). If darn night shift didn't mess with my body/rhythm...

  5. NCLEX - Pass with minimal SATA?

    havehope replied to jl93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got maybe 10 SATA at the max and passed with 75 questions. I also didn't get any audio or ordered responses. Good luck! Just because you didn't get a lot of SATA doesn't mean you

    havehope replied to cap2253's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have you heard anything?? Please say yes and that you passed.

  7. Any study tips and advice for nursing school?

    havehope replied to brooks222's topic in General Students

    I would focus on finding out your learning style, like now. Reason I say this- when I got into Med Surg I, I was trying to figure out what worked best for me. This caused me to constantly struggle. If...

  8. ADN>MSN or aBSN? HELP!

    havehope replied to sandiegotrish's topic in General Students

    I went the ADN route. First, it only took two years to complete (which means being a broke college student for two years not four). My employer will pay for me to get my BSN. I graduated in December,...

  9. Should I "waste" my time getting an ADN?

    havehope replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    I choose to do ADN for several reasons. My program took two years. This means that you're in school (and probably a broke college student) for only two years. I figured i'd start making more money...

  10. East Coast Blizzard 2016 NCLEX-RN Results Delay?

    havehope replied to cap2253's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is the only reason I could see a hold up. Or if someone was suspected of cheating-it may not have been you (or anyone sitting around you), but just clearing everyone that tested that day? I'm...

  11. help...

    havehope replied to chapy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I loved Kaplan. The live Review was testing taking strategies. However, I got a Kaplan content review book with my course and if I was missing questions simply because I didn't know the content I went...

  12. NCLEX study schedule/calendar

    havehope replied to HeyViv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took a live Kaplan review course and scheduled my test two weeks (I did not work during this time and I had no children) from the end of the review. I didn't study until the review course. I took a...

  13. East Coast Blizzard 2016 NCLEX-RN Results Delay?

    havehope replied to cap2253's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Cap2253, I am from Virginia also. I took my NCLEX on January 26th and got my results back on the 27th. I called the license number around 9-9:30 and mine was up. Apparently they only update that...

  14. Passed with 75 Questions using Kaplan

    havehope replied to havehope's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wanted to restate what you've stated because so many students (including myself until I researched it), just because you are getting SATA questions does NOT mean they are passing. So many students...

  15. What's his blood sugar?

    havehope replied to FloridaRN123's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is interesting, because on our nursing care boards it is a spot that say's "blood sugar" and the CNAs write the time and the blood sugar down for the nurse. However, with our blood sugar machines...

  16. Confessions Of A New Nurse

    havehope replied to mackenzie's topic in General Students

    Mackenzie, My story was VERY similar to yours!!! I, too graduated on December 18th. Took boards on January 26th and passed!! So, first and foremost-congratulations to us!! We are RNs now! It's so...

  17. What is passing for your nursing program?

    havehope replied to WanderingWilder's topic in General Students

    Same here. We had to get an 80.00% to pass with absolutely no rounding (they changed this while I was in my third semester.) I understand why, however it sucks when my 80 in nursing school is...

  19. Just took my nclex

    havehope replied to Jr./RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the above poster. Sodium is 135-145, this sodium level is WAY below that. However, Potassium is 3.5-5.3. 3.4 is not that much of a difference, yes, it is below. But, it's not as bad as...

  20. Passed with 75 Questions using Kaplan

    havehope replied to havehope's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    JustBeachyNurse- Sorry, I did not explain the 265th question thing well. According to Kaplan's NCLEX-RN Content Review Guide (I would copy it so you could see, but I can't, maybe copyright reasons?),...

  21. Passed with 75 Questions using Kaplan

    havehope replied to havehope's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Browneyes80- I'm sorry to hear that. However, the Kaplan lady said if you get 265 you worked for them. That you are close to passing!! If I remember right, she said that the last question (265th...

    havehope replied to havehope's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Go to Kaplan.com, click on nursing, and click on the NCLEX-RN. It is $499, you can either do an "in person" review or a "live review." The live review allows you to work at your own pace. This also...

  23. Fundamentals vs. Med Surg 1?

    havehope replied to EKTheRN's topic in General Students

    Med-Surg is based on disease process, etc. I thought Fundamentals was totally different from Med-Surg. For example, subjects for Med-Surg I include DM, amputations, BPH, Cirrhosis, Cholecystitis &...

  24. How many CNAs do you have on your floor?

    havehope replied to crx971's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    havehope replied to chillischick's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    At the beginning of the semester and up until this past week, I've been doing the same. I know we are all not the same. However, I learned my problem was studying too much and overthinking the whole...
