No idea what the minimum should be but you should look for smaller class sizes and a pass rate in the 90's at least. There is no point in paying all the money and spending all the time in school if your not going to pass the NCLEX. Universities do no...
As a doula I've heard of this before. I've never experienced it, nor had any clients that have done it, but if they did I would just go with the flow. I don't personally think there is anything to it other than respecting the families wishes and what...
We were told to think of the sata Q like t/f Q. And that the q will always have more than 1 choice but never all 5 answers. As for calculations, google da calculations. It's super easy and will always get you the right answer. If u need help u can al...
Do 20 nclex questions every night before bed. Don't read too much into them. If you don't know the answer or guess wrong, read the correct rational and move on. Also, I have an app on my iPhone, iPod, and iPad (the free one on all the devices) so I c...
I took the test at 8am thur and didn't think to check my states application page till today Friday at 7:30am and there it said that my status was still pending (in process) but it did have verification from nclex that I passed and all my requirements...
I have done CNA work for quite a while now and while working at the nursing home we were only scheduled 35h so they did not have to pay full time benefits. In saying that we always worked over that amount and were paid overtime. BUT what usually ende...

I've officially passed. Took the pn test feb 23rd and just got confirmation that I passed. The "trick" worked. The test quit at 85 questions and I had a LOT of sata q's.
Not true. I passed with 85 questions and took about 2-2.5 hours. I wanted to make sure I was reading everything correctly and not skipping any important words just because I was rushing.
Anything is accepted at the tech colleges generally. It's once your in the program that it matters, and for fa. FA I believe requires 2.5 or better to continue receiving funds. I am in a WI school and our adn lpn and rn do not per se have a gpa requi...
It depends on how your personal life will be affected. If you can spend a lot of time on classes, and I mean a lot, then maybe you can do it. But if you have to work full time and have kids, then I wouldn't recommend it. A good rule of thumb to go by...

I have NO idea why they required it. They are severely inflexible so I didn't even bother to fight it. I've learned to pick my battles with the rn program.

Your tb and physical should be good. The only thing with the tb could be if you've had a 1 vs 2 step test. My physical was for a WI school and while it looked detailed, it was a simple in and out appt. Ours had crap like vag exam, which personally to...
Just a suggestion and you can take it for what it's worth, but if English is not your first language, maybe taking an English class would help. Nclex is hard enough, and when even one word is missed, not understood or is misinterpreted, it can make t...
I'm not sure if your Kaplan study thing is the same one I've heard about, but the one up here (wi/mi) has a Kaplan that is somewhere around $400-600 but if you fail they pay for your future testing fees till you pass.
