    Am I ready for NCLEX?

    Hoozdo replied to aegirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you are short on time, do the quizzes for each section. If you get less than 70 on the quizzes then you better do the test or study mode for each section. Best of luck

    Just some of my own conclusions on the CAT testing. I passed in the minimum number of question on the LPN and the RN. The LPN test was much as you described. Medium to hard, I could tell the...

    Any GCC Students?

    Hoozdo replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks :) Don't be scared; it's nothing to be scared about. I actually liked nursing school but I didn't like some of the politics that go along with it. Good

    I took it without even know what the heck it was. The math section was LOOONG and I did study up on math since it had been about 25 years since I had taken algebra. The rest of it was easy. Study up...

    Waiting List for Phoenix schools

    Hoozdo replied to she.lpn's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will have no wait at all jumping into the community college district as an LPN. That is what I did. You have to take the NET test and the HESI and score over 900 or something to qualify. I have...

    Hoozdo replied to fahamesha's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I am a new grad and in my program it was 100% or you flunked. You had 3 chances to get 100 on 3 consecutive days. If you did not achieve 100 then you had to go back to the previous semester...

    I would have to think we did AWFULLY bad to fail at 75 questions. The test left me wanting more questions. I did not study for the HESI (was told just to use it as a learning tool) and did pretty well...
