    ellie23 replied to ysejikem's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  2. Saunders or Kaplan for NCLEX prep

    ellie23 replied to chezlesamie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For the PN I loved Sanders. I found it much less confusing than Kaplan. I guess it depends what you want though. Sanders is great for content review as it explains things in a way that is easily and...

    Hello. Does anyone know if there is a charge to change NCLEX-RN test date? I am having a scheduling dilemma. Thanks.

  4. Working fulltime while in school

  8. overwhelmed

    ellie23 replied to little_nurse12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think this is just one of those things where you have to fake it till you make it. Pretend to be confident and know what you are doing even if you are absolutely terrified on the inside. Good luck....

    ellie23 replied to nurse hopefully's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ellie23 replied to orangechickennn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  22. NCLEX tomorrow and SCARED

    ellie23 replied to smghanayem's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel exactly the same way, but I don't think anyone ever feels ready to take the NCLEX. There is just so much to know and study that you can't possibly learn it all. I think that the best thing to...

    ellie23 replied to raven23's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't know what your A&P is like, but what really helped me was making flash cards of the things I needed to memorize. It was incredibly time consuming and I had to study those things every...
