  3. THE CALIFORNIA MINI-SERIES, PART 3: BIG TIPS, A SPECIAL SATA Hello guys, I was planning to delay Part 3 to see if any one would mention seeing this special SATA in their exams, but it seems that I...
  4. Hahaha....you got a good eye for originality; my thread was meant to be unlike any other I could be wrong--how much faith could one have in a C+ nursing student anyways? --but to the best of my...
  5. A study example of Saunders: As mentioned in Part 1, I read only one section in Saunders 5th ed. and felt unmotivated because studying contents all over again from a textbook/prepbook was kinda...
  6. Overall a very good advice. Props for being frugal--the main message of Part 1. As with what you implied, we don't have much info on the NCLEX besides that the first question is a passing level...
  7. Passed NCLEX-RN in 75 questions - tips and reviews

    First, we both joined in 2012, went awol, and back after passing NCLEX-RN. Second, love that December perk: license posted all under 48 hours. Third, Yay! for using Saunders 5th ed in 2015...seriously...
  8. Cool. Hopefully Part 2 could quell your anxiety to some extent...but Part 3 is where I drew my confidence
  9. Completely agree...and also mentioned in Part 1, no mucho dinero need be expended...basically just Saunders, Nursinglab, and free videos. I'm in CA, took it in CA, but the reason for the title was...
  10. Everything has already been typed out. I only decided to break it up to 3 parts because it was too long. I had to take out specific NCLEX questions and went with the general "ID an NSAID"--well the...
  11. As mentioned at the end of Part 1: I wrote this after I got home, primarily to re-assure myself that I did passed the exam and as I'm also a bike rider, it is just an over-all good habit (i.e. during...
  12. By request: THE CALIFORNIA MINI-SERIES, PART 2: FACE THE BEAST DAY BEFORE THE EXAM I spent all day doing lite reviews, Saunders CD questions, re-watched some videos; all done in a relaxed, non-rushed,...
  13. Special SATAs: I had two in my exam; one was the 3rd sata in Triple-SATA-Set-1, the other was the 2nd sata in Triple-SATA-Set-2. One of them is probably part of the 15 experimental questions...I'll...
  14. Since it's too late to reschedule the exam, your best course of action is to spend all day today doing questions and reviewing your labs. Do not attempt to review contents, you will get contents by...
  15. A little update: Still looking into NCLEX policy to whether I should post Part 2 or not. However, here's a quick tip for the SATA questions: 1- It's best to be relaxed during the exam, likewise, the...
  16. Haha, same here; although I was not physically nor biologically able to "pop out a baby", I did do my studying like a lazy baby Seriously, the max was 3.5 hours and was getting tired--when in nursing...
  17. Pv trick works california dec 8, 2015

    CA here, I can confirm. Leaving the exam building I knew I passed. The next day, I read someone saying you have to pass all 8 client needs area to pass (which is a myth btw), I decided to do the PVT...
  18. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    One more thing, make sure you buy the syllabus and do all the first week's readings in advance. That's my only regret so far, playing catch up is no

    Congrats! You applied at the right time, just 2 years ago, CCSF still had the 80% re-applicants and 20% new applicants slotting (about 400 new applicants competing for 20 seat!). But only 585...
  20. --deleted for
  21. Female Ken, I said what I said based solely based on my impression of your original post. I'll share some pointers that I still retained from those 3 how-to books. 1) HR spends roughly 10-20 sec...
  22. Forgot to add: with only 1/3 of a page resume, I mostly focus on formatting, positioning/spacing to make it visually appealing--industry talk is "making a good use of the white space." Yep, that theme...
  23. ***Interesting. Female Ken, you chose "Kepner's" advice over the Yangs', especially with 1 interview out of "over 100 positions"? Well, my first impression was you did not consult appropriate resume...
