I just found the news I passed last night- which was really exciting =) But I just wanted to give some tips on the all nurses community that really helped me to prepare for the test! Here's a quick overview of my story *Failed out of Medsurge Nursing...

@hotnurse408: My readiness Score was 78% =) Sorry it took so long to get back! Between work, looking for a nursing job and taking classes I don't get on here much anymore =(

@Maso I'm glad my story could help someone! I read a story on here ( I wish I could remember her post- it was really amazing) I was shocked when i passed ( mainly because I focused on the fact that my overall Kaplan score was only a 51%. I didn't do...

@mommyof2tees Thank You! It is so exciting!

@ hotnurse 408 I did a little bit of the decision tree. In school I had always done my own decision tree(without realizing it.) I mainly used for the NCLEX 1) I id the topic ( I tried to do it in 3-5 words, really pull out what they are REALLY asking...

Oh and I forgot to mention- I did alot of practice questionsI think the earlier you start preparing for NCLEX the better, and dont hesitate to take your NCLEX shortly after graduation, I read somewhere that for every 30 days you let pass by, it incre...

*You are all welcome!* I had an extremly hard time in nursing school ( whoever claims nursing school wasn't that hard must be at the easiest school in the world. ) I did fail out of Medsurge and I only barely passed my first semester by .5 ( although...

I take my NCLEX tomorrow afternoon and I must say I feel calm..a little excited and a little anxious ( WTC is wrong with me!) I am taking my last 2 Kaplan tests ( I spent all day studying- I know people say not to do that, but I tried to not study an...

I cant get quick results but I did try the PVT trick Friday about 7 hours after I took the test and It works! I passed the NCLEX with 85 questions =) So happy !!!!! Good job to you too! Wish you the best of luck!

Called my BON at 9 pm last night- and today I found my name on the site!!! *I Passed* So Excited! =) Now to start planning my OR themed graduation/boards party =) :w00t: KWinn,LPN

@Candloc I'm not sure how quick results works- Here in Virginia we can't get quick results. The lady at the testting center I went to told me I had to wait until Monday 8am to find out my results- not really sure why? I'm waiting until 6pm so I can g...

Thanks everyone! I took the test friday and have to wait until MONDAY! ugh. My test shut off at 85 questions which made me go like this but later that night when I got home ( I think it was 10pmish?) I tried the PVT trick and got the good popup- but...

I just took my NCLEX on Friday. It was unlike any other test I have ever taken! My best advice- start preparing NOW.Remember that basics ( lab values, abbreviations med classes foundations etc..) AND I highly recommend taking a Kaplan Course- that is...

I took my NCLEX today too! I had the exact same situation- only I am certain I failed...I felt like I didn't know ANYTHING that was on the test. I had alot of SATA's, and it cut off at 85 questions- which I was kind of shocked about and was all like ...

I take my test friday as well! I to did the Kaplan- it was required of our school. I chose not to tell anyone ( besides my parents and a few select friends) that I am taking the NCLEX- I didn't feel its the worlds responsibility to know when I take t...

I take mine on the 27th as well! I graduated December 19th and feel like I forgot so much already ( if thats possible lol) Good Luck to all of us! I have done so many practice questions...but I figure even if I only get to do 25 a day, it is better t...

I know this thread is no different than any oth:zzzzzer * I'm taking the NCLEX and scared out of my mind thread. However I had browsed around the site and had not seen the answers to my questions so I figured maybe if I post there are others who had ...

* I failed my skills checkoff too* Heres the short unabridged ( or is it abridged. I always get them messed up. whatever. heres the short story) In our school we did a lottery of skills checkoffs. You had to check off your skills individually- pass ...

Our school had the " you can't get pregnancy policy" at school ( of course it wasn't stated like that..but i had 2 friends become pregnant while in the program and what do you know.. both of them had to repeat it due to dismassal. ( i had to repeat i...

I agree to an extent- but I think for most schools Kaplan or ATI is used now to maybe prepare you for the NCLEX? I know at our school it was- but I think if you just utilize all available resources ( and you can find KAPLAN online for free if you goo...

I would recomment buying the course- we had to get it for school and it is how I am studying for the NCLEX ( which I am taking next week- EEK! =( It teaches you how to apply and eliminate questions. =)

I would recommend ( if money and time allows) taking some criminal justice classes at a local college ( community or univeristy) I am actually in the midst of *hopefully* finishing my BS of Criminal Justice with a Forensics Cognate and my BS of Psych...

I have the QBANK and I HIGHLY recommend getting it. It gives you a book that is full of GREAT information, as well as the flexibility to take your tests as either focused review, nclex pn readiness or something else. I can't remember. Feel free to me...

at our school it was mandatory and we had to purchase it with our regular tuition for the semester. BUT I do believe that if you type in google: kaplan review course you should be able to see pull it up. =)

You guys are lucky- In virginia we can't do the PVT trick ..maybe I should move back to Pa *just * so I can get faster results ( Kidding) =) I take my NCLEX on the 27th - EEK =) :doh:
