Hello: I graduated nursing school in 2011, failed the NCLEX four times and have been working since but I am ready to get back up on the horse again and pass the NCLEX but I am not sure what I should do to prepare. The school I graduated from has prov...

I am hoping that someone could help me with a couple of homework questions, here goes. Use the density value to solve the folowing problems. 1. A graduated cylinder contains 18.0 mL of water. What is the new water level after 35.6 g of silver metal w...

I graduated in May 2011 and failed the NCLEX 4 times so you can imagine how I feel =(. I am starting a Kaplan review course Tuesday and I have access to Hurst review but I am seriously doubting myself. My test is on 2/10 (my birthday) so I am hopin...

The yellow Saunders book is the fifth edition.

I am in New York State and I see just beachy nurse's point and it make sense. In NYS the application to the state BON for approval is a one time deal but like beachy mentioned it depends on the state. In NYS and in most states only the ATT expires (...

Please do not let that first sentence confuse you. Even if you were to leave the date as is and not show you would still have to pay Pearson Vue only and not the state BON but it would just take a little longer for you to receive your ATT.

Hello. Unschedule the test and let your ATT expire and you will have to pay the $200 to Pearson Vue only. The BON in your state has to approve you only once and that is it. This was very recent that I did this too. I called Pearson Vue and and as...

Hello. I let my ATT expire once and all I had to de was pay the $200 again to Pearson Vue. Good luck. You do not need to reapply to your state board of nursing.

My mother in law had a stroke over the weekend and then hemorrhaged and she takes coumadin so I am sure I need not explain how almost impossible it was to stop the bleeding. The bleeding finally stopped but of course now she is no longer anti coagul...

I am stil studying and nervous as can be. i was wondering what everyone else did the day before the test? I am not taking the test until 1:00 PM EST tomorrow but I plan on getting up early and sitting in the parking lot and studying until 12:30. I...

Hello: 187 questions and 4-1/2 hours later and the computer shut down. I honestly cannot tell you if I passed or not and I do not want to ruin Father's Day by trying the PV trick in case i did fail. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope f...

Congratulations =). I have done my best studying the day before and the day of a test. Please do not laugh but my best studying is done while in my car with no distractions. I won't be doing questions but I will be reviewing lab values and the NCL...

Hello: I graduated in December 2010 and proceeded to fail the NCLEX twice. The last time I failed was in September 2011. I think it is time to get back up on the horse and pass the test already. I hate to say this going in to the study portion of ...

Update: I spoke to the NY State Board of Nursing and they told me that only Pearson Vue could extend the ATT. I find this amusing because Pearson Vue told me to contact the State Board. When I called Pearson they told me that they never extend the ...

I have to call back tomorrow. I was thinking it would be a HIPAA issue if someone was to give me a copy of a document that showed that she was in the hospital but yes I guess if my mother in law said it was okay there would be no issue. I will call...

I called the Board of Nursing and I spoke to someone who said I needed to speak to a specific department but they do not accept calls on Tuesdays so I have to call back tomorrow. The person I did speak to did mention that the reason for having an AT...

Thank you for the replies. I was on live chat with Pearson Vue and they told me to contact the NY State Board of Nursing to ask for an extension. Does this make sense and under what circumstances will they do it?

Hello: I am considering purchasing the 8 week subscription to the NCSBN Review but I was hoping to get some feedback from those that are currently using it or have used it recently? I did a search and most of what I found was from a few years back. ...

A permit is totally different from state issued identification and that is why no one will recognize a learner's permit as identification. When you go take your road test the tester will ask you for the learner's permit and for identification which ...

KLudRN, I sent you a PM, please check it if/when you have a chance? Thank you, Joe

Follow your heart. I changed careers and just graduated nursing school in December and so far it has been well worth it because it is a respected career. I am in the process of leaving the plumbing field and will do so if I pass the NCLEX on August...

I completed my first Kaplan question trainer last night and I did absolutely horrible because the first three question trainers are based on recall and recognition. Throughout nursing school I was only able to retain information for an upcoming test...

Thank you for replying. I am feeling pressure from my family too which is just not cool. I work full time, married with three kids and then i get home and i study but it has not been an easy road, nor should it but I will try to make sure i am read...

Me three please. [email protected] Meds are my weakest point too. Is the Kaplan medications You Need To Know any good? Thanks, Joe

I am also using Kaplan On Demand and I signed up yesterday. use all of the resources that Kaplan offers you and if you have time maybe you can take a look at Saunders or Lacharity but you will be okay with Kaplan. The On Demand offers 3,000 questio...
