  1. retaking my nclex-RN on JULY after failing 2 months ago. anxious this time.

    uaefan replied to aredenyf's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi aredenyf, You may want to look at my post "long time lurker...first time poster." As others have posted, do not get into that negative mindset. If you go in thinking that you'll fail, guess what?...

  2. One Week Left Till NCLEX......

    uaefan replied to blynn9173's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi blynn, As others have said, prayer (aside from studying & BREATHING) is key to passing this exam. I'd very, VERY, VERY highly recommend a prayer to St. Joseph of Cupertino. There are 3 of them...

  3. Infection control NCLEX.

    uaefan replied to BoszPrince's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Bosz, Just like droplet, you can leave the door open for contact. That mnemonic that was posted is a godsend. Definitely all you need to answer any IC question that comes up on NCLEX. All the

  4. Your top study materials for NCLEX?

    uaefan replied to sparklegirl_007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi sparkle, I absolutely HATE Kaplan. Failed twice with it, when (according to their interpretation of scores) I should have passed. I then switched to Davis 2010 Q&A, PDA (a MUST), and the...

    uaefan replied to cyram81APRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're welcome. Get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, say a prayer, and LAY THE

  6. Low Score on Kaplan = NCLEX Fail?

    uaefan replied to wecan11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I understand. I had to resolve EIGHT non-NCLEX related issues in my life before I tested & passed on the 3rd time...not to mention taking a year and a half to do so. It sounds as though you've...

  7. Thoughts & prayers for tomorrow!

    uaefan replied to cyram81APRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey cyram, All the best for tomorrow. No luck is needed. You have this in the bag! I've been following your posts for the last couple months and you exude tons of confidence. A little apprehension is...

  8. Low Score on Kaplan = NCLEX Fail?

    uaefan replied to wecan11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey again we, As I posted before I scored mid-50s to mid-70s using Kaplan & failed twice. Ditched Kaplan totally, used Davis Q&A 2010, PDA, and the IC mnemonic and passed. STOP relying on test...

  9. Pearson Vue....Question.....

    uaefan replied to ciprea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi ciprea, Yes, the PVT is 100% accurate. I, too, passed on my 3rd attempt. Did the PVT on my second attempt...led me to the CC page--failed. Did it on the 3rd attempt...wouldn't let me...

  10. Kaplan or Hurst NCLEX-RN review which one is better?

    uaefan replied to ChloeRae's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Chloe, Well, here's my 2 cents. I hated Kaplan!!! Used it twice & failed twice (1st @ 265, 2nd @ 135). Went my own way with Davis 2010 Q&A, Linda LaCharity's PDA, & the infection...

  11. Saunders & Kaplan

    uaefan replied to wecan11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi we, WOW! You're doing a heckuva lot more than I did to prepare. I'm not sure what you need to focus on other than basking in the knowledge that you already possess. It's impossible to know...

  12. failed nclex 4 times

    uaefan replied to viccy274's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi viccy, Well, they're certainly not going to tell you to "give it up, you'll never be a nurse!" Many states allow a limited number of times you can take NCLEX before you have to take some sort of...

  13. Long time lurker...first time poster

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

    Aspiring, I'm glad the prayers helped you. All the best for your official

  14. Actually passed the NCLEX-RN even though PV shown a CC page?

    uaefan replied to Nurse_Heather's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was stupid enough to pay $7.95 for the quick results in Feb 2009...failed @ 265. Tried the PVT in July 2009, got the CC page...failed @ 135. Tried the PVT on my 3rd attempt Feb 2011, got the "Our...

    uaefan replied to leo82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi leo, You may want to take a look at my post "long time lurker...first time poster." I went the 265 way and went through my depressed period. The key is to pick yourself up and don't for one second...

  17. Timing...clock ticking...maybe not answering fast enough?

    uaefan replied to you gotta be brave's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, I didn't mean to sound rude; sorry about that. Just keep up with questions and you'll do fine. All the

  18. Timing...clock ticking...maybe not answering fast enough?

    uaefan replied to you gotta be brave's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Timing has absolutely nothing to do with pass-fail decisions. Nor does getting question 265 wrong or question 75 right. Nor does morning vs. afternoon time slots. It's okay to have these concerns, but...

  19. Taking NCLEX-RN next week!!!!!! KAPLAN SCORES?!?

    uaefan replied to CJB_11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those are good scores, but I would caution you on relying too heavily on them. I scored mid 50s to low 70s using Kaplan and failed twice (shoulda gotten my money back, but oh well). I ditched Kaplan...

  20. preparing for the nclex exam

    uaefan replied to bypitt24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi pitt, You absolutely do NOT need Kaplan to pass NCLEX! Their strategies can be found in many review books (i.e. Davis Q&A 2010). I used that, PDA (Linda LaCharity), and the infection control...

    Hi Amy, I'd suggest looking at my post "long time lurker...first time poster" for some motivation. I passed on the 3rd attempt and it's just my experience with it; along with some prayers that I must...

  23. Kaplan prep for NCLEX?

    uaefan replied to hooftt's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Therese, You absolutely do NOT need Kaplan to pass NCLEX! Took it twice & failed with Kaplan (1st @ 265, 2nd @ 135). Went my own path on the 3rd attempt & passed at 75. The strategies are...

  24. Tips on answering SATA

    uaefan replied to healthcarestudent's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The tip is to just do your best on them. I do believe that they are higher-level questions and/or ones that are part of the 15 "test" questions. I had 18 of them and passed with 75 and there's NO WAY...

  25. Nclex Rn

    uaefan replied to Ibelieve4187's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi I, Sorry for your disappointment...you're getting back into it with a positive attitude, which is most of the battle: great job!! I've definitely been in your shoes; that said, I'd suggest looking...
