   phuturenurse1988 replied to phuturenurse1988's topic in Men

   I suppose that could be. I was let go from a place on some mistakes by myself. I was told that they can only ask if I was employed for a period of time not as to what happened. I was thinking of omitting from my resume. However I did get offers f...

8. Nclex RN fail

   phuturenurse1988 replied to lisa861971's topic in NCLEX

   DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED BY PERCENTILES! You are only in competition with yourself. I think I ended up a 48% overall percentile after answering questions over and over again. Read rationales and try not to throw your laptop at the wall when that same...

9. Failed NCLEX at 133 questions.. First attempt

   phuturenurse1988 replied to Jenn0986's topic in NCLEX

   UWORLD is great. Just do blocks of 20-30 questions. The 75 ones are tough because you can get so many wrong in a row and feel like a failure. Also DO NOT worry about your percentile. I think I ended up in the 48% and was getting down about it, bu...

    phuturenurse1988 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So here I am a freshly graduated RN who just passed the NCLEX. I have had a lot of job offers. Option 1: My first offer was from a pretty notable Home Health agency. They will start out at a high wage, give a $3000 sign on bonus, and seem to have...

    phuturenurse1988 replied to caine143's topic in NCLEX

    Don't overstress!! I got a 48% overall right on uworld and still passed! I also did horrendously bad on exit HESIs and thought I was done for. Confidence will kill the NCLEX its only there to scare you, but once you take off its mask you see its n...

14. Taking Nclex July 15

    phuturenurse1988 replied to lauradsvc911's topic in NCLEX

    I took it yesterday and passed. I looked at it like the NCLEX as that friend you had a rocky friendship and left on bad terms. You have 2 options: Make up and be friends again or fail to fix the friendship. I did UWorld finished with a 49%, but al...

15. How long did it take you to take the NCLEX?

    phuturenurse1988 replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in NCLEX

    I just passed mine yesterday! Holy buckets. The things that I thought helped me (as I process that it's real!) were. UWorld about a month before. $59 and similar to the format of the NCLEX. It will help you think about the nursing process. Read the r...
