    How do people fail the NCLEX ?

    I thought NCLEX was easy as well. I didn't find it difficult at all, but I understand not everyone is like me. I don't have test anxiety and I feel that I effectively study. I can understand a...
  5. You can fail with 75 questions, but I think it's pretty rare, you have to do pretty bad for that to happen. Good pop up, I'm sure you passed. Congrats! BTW, I thought it was crazy that all my hard...
  6. Just realized that you're an LPN grad, not sure about the NCLEX pn, might not be priority
  7. Definitely agree with the others. Saunders is easy and definitely easier than the NCLEX. Kaplan questions are more like NCLEX in terms of difficulty level. I was able to use the Kaplan book and get...
  8. I did NCSBN review. I found it minimally helpful. I didn't need to review content, but I briefly looked at the content review it comes with and I didn't find it to be the best, very brief. The...

    How do people fail the NCLEX ?

    I'll take a guess at why people fail. I think it has to do with poor critical thinking skills and anxiety. The NCLEX is really not that hard. I think people over study and over think the exam....

    Reactions to being a NP

    I love nursing regardless of the pay, but that seems really low. I guess it's all relative to the cost of living too, cost of living is high where I live. What area are you in out of

    I took my test this morning and it shut off at 75 questions in about 45 minutes. Definitely not that bad, I had prob 10-15 SATA. As soon as my test shut off I felt a huge pang of relief and knew I...

  17. Congratulations!!! I take my test tomorrow and I can't wait! Are the SATA questions extremely difficult in terms of content or are they pretty straight forward? I found some of Kaplans SATA to be...
