I took my test today too. I got tons of SATA too, and definitely agree that a good portion of them are some of the trial questions. Lots of teaching questions for me too. And I had a good number of diseases/drugs I didn't recognize. Got the good ...

Just got home, did the PVT and got the good pop up!! I'll be checking it again just to be sure though!! Don't think I'll feel 100% sure about it until the official results. I didn't feel very good about the exam when I left...I felt like I made a ...

So the day is almost here. Only a matter of hours now!! I'm feeling so nervous!! Here are my Kaplan scores: Diagnostic: 53 QT1: 61 QT2: 64 QT3: 64 QT4: 68 QT5: 76 (I think this score was luck more than anything else) QT6: 66 QT7: 66 Readiness: 69 Q...

I'll be taking the NCLEX tomorrow too!! For me, I needed to study a lot longer than a week in order to feel a little more comfortable on the test day, but everyone is different. Some people study a lot and some people don't study at all. Kaplan wa...

I'll be taking it on the 15th as well!!! I'm going to be so nervous the night before I won't be able to sleep. I'm horrible at the SATA questions too. I tried the alternate format quiz on Kaplan and got 40%. If it weren't for the fill in the blan...

Thanks so much for your post, and congratulations on passing!!!! I take the NCLEX on the 15th and have been worried about whether I should be doing more content review - there's just so much and you couldn't possibly remember it all even if you did ...

During my studying and practice questions, I've noticed that some resources say the normal serum calcium level is 4.5-5.5, and others say it is 9-11. That's a pretty big difference....does anybody know which one is right for the NCLEX? Am I complet...

Great, thank you so much everyone! I'll go with the total serum/9-11 for NCLEX.

According to Kaplan, on the NCLEX you should assume that the system is not overwhelmed unless it is specifically stated in the question that it is overwhelmed, if that makes sense.

Good luck to everyone!!!! I'm feeling a little better knowing I'm not the only one who feels so nervous!

I think I'd have to agree that I've never really felt this nervous for anything before. I'm not usually one to have test anxiety, but this one is completely different from a test in school. You are right though, we all need to have confidence!! We...

Ha, maybe "freaking out" was a poor word choice on my part...I'm definitely really nervous, but not necessarily bouncing off the walls or anything!! Good luck to you, only a few more days!!

Will definitely try to calm down before the exam. Once I sit down at the computer and can see what the questions are like for myself, I'll most likely be ok then. I'm just ready to get it done! Thanks for the good luck wishes!!

Hello Everyone, So I'm currently nearing the end of my second semester of nursing school with three more semesters to go. I will be graduating in May 2013. I've talked to my local Air Force health professions recruiter and he informed me that the n...

Thanks so much for your sharing your experience and input AndyRN, I really do appreciate it. I've been trying to get in the AF for 5 years now, and am on my 8th recruiter, so I guess I'm growing quite impatient and just want to be in in any role, ev...

Hi UB338, Not sure if you'll see this since it appears you haven't been on here for a while, but I've got a quick question for you...I will have my BSN this coming May. I am considering enlisting in the Air Force Reserve as an aerospace medical serv...

Hi everyone, I've searched many places on the internet for the answer to this, but can't seem to find anything concrete. Just wondering if anyone knows if the NCLEX-RN has a set time period it is good for after you take/pass it, or are the results ...

I was talking about after you've already passed the NCLEX, so you had it right the first time. :) Your other response is helpful too though! Thanks for the reply!!

Hi everyone, I applied to the NTP board last July and was selected as an alternate. According to my recruiter, if I'm not picked up by February 2013 then I'll have to reapply for the 2013 NTP board. I will be graduating in May 2013 and was curious ...

Thanks so much for the response romaniam!! Chances are I won't be selected from the alternate list this time around, since I started out at #31 and the most recent update put me at only #27 or something like that. When completing my prereq's I atte...

Good idea to start this thread Hope and Chris!! I'm Kari and I'm alternate #31 for med/surg and will be graduating in May with my BSN!! Tamara, all I know about the alternate list is that if people decline or get disqualifed, then they start select...

Congrats AFhopeful!!!! Are you the first one who is still in school to actually get selected?

You never know tngonzales87!! I think you have a MUCH better chance of making it than I do!!

Thanks AFhopeful!! I was surprised they went as far as alt #31 as well...the highest alternate on the list my recruiter sent me was #47, so maybe they go to 50 or something like that. My recruiter said that overnight last night all the alternates m...

Just heard from my recruiter...I'm an alternate select, but at #31, so he said chances are I won't get picked up this year. If I don't get picked up I'll be applying again next year!! Thank you all for all the support and hopefully we'll all meet i...
