I finished in May, passed the the NCLEX July 20th, and will work starting the 8th. Yey, I will actually be a nurse now:dncgbby: I feel like the last 2 years was all about passing the boards. It's been grueling but VERY rewarding.

I really think that it depends with each facility. The hospital that hired me doesn't take the "license pending" letter anymore unlike some people in my class who got hired with it. Goooooo take the NCLEX and be done with it. One thing at a time. Bes...

I'm a foreigner too but completed my nursing program here. I'm such an advocate for Kaplan. Kaplan all throughout was what worked for me.I read the book twice, did all of the qtrainers (60-75%) and qbank (66% overalll). I passed the first time with 7...

I'm sorry to hear that. Don't lose hope. I thought the Kaplan book that they gave us in class was really helpful in reviewing the content. As far as practice, I just used all of the Kaplan qbank&qtrainers. You can do it. Familiarize yourself over...

Congratulations, RN:dancgrp: I like reading stories like this as it gives the others hope that they can pass too! Now go be a nurse:D

The PVT worked for me so I'm positive it'll work for you too. You just have to hang in there this next 2 days. Wine helps.

Congratulations. Its been a long road for you. You deserve this. RN.:dncgbby:

Graduated last May and took the boards mid-July. Was very scared coz I didn't know anyone who could get me in, but my friend had friend who got us both jobs. Feel very blessed to have gotten a job in the same week that I passed my boards. My stars ar...

I realize that my tips here would work best for those enrolled in Kaplan, but I wanted to share them anyway as I believe in paying it forward. I took the NCLEX last Monday. I had 75 questions (and I used the decision tree for all of em), 25 SATA, 3 m...

Took it Monday at 8 AM. 75 questions with 25 SATA, 3 math, 1 ekg strip, tons of meds+priority. Got the good pop up 10 minutes after the test. That, plus some heavy drinking held me through the 48 hours:D Believe people. IT WORKS. I passed this mornin...

Actually, I was being modest with 6 hours a day. My last week I was up to 10:eek:. My friends scold me for being too OCD, but it's how I got through our program and all the tests I've taken passing the first time. With your credentials, it sounds lik...

You're welcome. I've benefited a lot from the posts here so I thought I'd do my part. You can do it. Kaplan does work. Believe.

Please see my post "Thoughts from a Kaplan user and NCLEX-RN passer..."

I found out this morning that I passed:dncgbby: It's been a long road. Thank you for all the very informative posts here.

So i took my NCLEX at 7:30 AM earlier. The early start wasn't that bad, I woke up every hour anyway from 11 PM to 5 AM. I have to say that although I kinda had an idea of how it was going to be, and I was relatively calm the day before, the nerves ...

Thanks caliotter3:D

Congratulations:dancgrp: I took my exam yesterday too and stopped at 75 with good pop up. Hopefully it really does work. And yes, I didn't think that the Kaplan class helped, but there was so much that I learned from the Qbank&QTs. May I join you...

75 questions & good pop up!!!!!!! 25 SATA, tons of meds&priority, 1 ekg, 3 math, 1 arrange the sequence. I'm drinking till Wed morning.

75 questions & good pop up!!!!!!! 25 SATA, tons of meds&priority, 1 ekg, 3 math, 1 arrange the sequence. Feel pretty relieved, although the anxiety is not fully gone yet. Red or white? I'm taking red. Malbec. Lots of it.

Congratulations:yeah:. Waiting for my results now. Yes, as cliche as it sounds, there really is a thing as hard work! You deserve it.

3 full days of review to go & i'm taking sunday to just relax and "calmly" go over last minute things. i'm scared.

I hope you did well:DLet us know!

I'm taking the nclex in a week, well actually in 6 days. We had a great nursing program (and the passing rates prove it, even got a 100% last year:yeah:) I'd like to think that I wouldn't have made it alive if I didn't have what it takes... Several p...

Thanks :)

Thanks. It makes me feel better that Kaplan does work. I just can't seemto shake off the nerves. I've always been able to manage the nerves in school, I'm just pretty terrified about this one. Congratulations btw. I'll post my (hopefully) nice result...
