    Advice from recent takers

    SopranoKris replied to Gmma's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The best advice I can give is to take your time to read the question thoroughly. Then read each answer. Then go back and RE-READ the question. You would be surprised how that 2nd reading of the...

    Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    SopranoKris replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    How can you go to GSU? When I lived in the area, they only provided courses for 300 level work and above. It was like a community college to finish your bachelor's degree. You had to complete your...

    Dosage Calculation HELP!

    SopranoKris replied to Samm06's topic in General Students

    It's asking for 1/4 strength solution. Think about it. If you have 4 quarters in a dollar (100 cents), 1/4 is 25 cents. If you had 1 L (which is 1,000 mL), 1/4 of that is 250 mL. Did that make it a...

    Just a typical day

    SopranoKris replied to MustangSally005's topic in General Students

    The worst is when they've got the stethoscope on backwards. "Doctor, the patient is dead, no heartbeat." Ummm, duh, you can't hear because you've got it on wrong!!!! That and using...

    Dismissed from nursing school

    SopranoKris replied to summerlynn13's topic in General Students

    I agree with ellpark. Follow the appeals process outlined in your student handbook. Typically this is initiated by sending a formal letter to the dean (again, look at the process for your program)....

    Help answering unfamiliar NCLEX questions

    SopranoKris replied to chelsieblondie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You have no way of knowing if that question was above or below the passing line. I know it's hard not to stress. It's very nerve wracking. We're lucky we don't have to wait 6 weeks or more like they...

    Pearsonvue site update/maintenance (07/18/2015)

    SopranoKris replied to Jpcvcj19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Can you get Quick Results? If so, you'll know for sure that you passed. Who knows what the PV systems update has done. It'll be interesting to see if it starts authorizing cards on everyone to stop...

    Kaplan Q bank score overall?

    SopranoKris replied to PapaBearRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I averaged 66% on all the QBanks. If you're consistently getting 60% or higher, you should do well. I passed NCLEX in 77

    There were 2 students in my graduating class who passed NCLEX with 265 questions. Both felt they had failed when they walked out the door. Good luck!

    Help answering unfamiliar NCLEX questions

    SopranoKris replied to chelsieblondie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with RNsRWe. Your results aren't ready until tomorrow. No need to think about a new study plan until you know for sure that you didn't pass. Good luck!

    75 Questions July 21st

    SopranoKris replied to OUxPhys's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm surprised they let you bring in the phone. The testing center I went to wouldn't even let you put it in the locker. They made us put our cell phones/electronics in our cars. They only allowed...

    SopranoKris replied to Kapowski88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry to hear that you didn't pass. When you get your CPR report, look at the categories to see what you passed or nearly passed and which areas you were lacking. Focus on the ones you performed...

    The agonizing wait!!

    SopranoKris replied to Ravens1127's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Alternate format questions are just that: alternate question types. They have no bearing on whether you're above or below the passing line. Only the content of the question can determine the level...

    Uworld vs. Kaplan vs. Hurst? Which one is better???

    SopranoKris replied to mangjose08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can only speak to the method I used, which was the Kaplan 4 day in-person class. This included use of all the online materials (trainers, QBank, etc.) If I had to do it all over again, I would...

    Passing Statistics for NCLEX RN and PN-2014

    SopranoKris replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Our program is now including the Kaplan 4 day as part of the course fees. While it's not "required" per se, you've already paid for it. Might as well do it :) FWIW, I probably could have passed...

    Pearsonvue site update/maintenance (07/18/2015)

    SopranoKris replied to Jpcvcj19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    YES!!! I have no idea why they wouldn't participate in Quick Results. It makes no sense, other than they're being sadistic...LOL

    NCLEX-PN results on hold

    SopranoKris replied to Jbaker5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's the issue. Maiden name vs. married name. Did you bring a copy of your marriage license with you to show them the legal name change? Our school told everyone who was planning to get married...
