But its obviously on Nclex forum now....ok

This is the Nclex forum lol

Hi guys, I'm currently taking this course I enrolled in. I was wondering if anybody has taken this course before and how it worked for them? I asked my tutor what was the percent that failed she said less than 2% so Im really hoping this is true. But at the same time Im nervous. I mean she's my "coach" so will say it, bu she's working for the ATI so in a way I feel she HAS to promote positive right? Like I said I just started so its going ok, but this is not my first time taken boards and this seems to be like a review course from the book idk but Im going to keep doing it and hopefully I will pass. For those who took the ATI what do u think of it? Was ur tutor helpful? and by the way mine is LPN not RN.

I'm currently doing the ATI online. Has anyone done it, how accurate r the passing rates? This is my last option guys. Please please if u have any advice or u yourself have taken the test more than 2 times please tell me or give me any advice.

I used kaplan before not now. And I can't go back and see my subscribtion ended. And I'm doing the LPN. Everybody I'm my class has passed yes it might of taken them 2 tries, but that was it. Im still testing I can't manage to pass after testing 4 times. Please I'm BEGGING for help. Going on my 5th time, i pray this is my last time.

I just looked up THE SECRET and do you know who's the producer? or if thats just part of the title?

oui used the saunders 5th edition and it didnt help me to be honest. to fxmama: thanks for the encouragement and i will watch that movie. and i kno u dont kno me and i dont kno u, but what u just said like was, it ust made me feel soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better:jester: it really did honest to god :) thank you! like finally someone understands me!!!! u have no idea how that feels :-) "[color=#b22222]i know this is one of those things that you know you can do, but are struggling with" sorry i didnt respond quickly i really hope u read this (fxmama). i'm going to pass! a friend told me to think positive because only good things come outta positive thinking! i can do this! all i need is practice and believe in god, who makes everything possible! thanks a lot fxmama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if u have any advice please dont be afraid to write anythign down

The reason I came to this website was to reach out for help, Im literally BEGGING people for advice. My classmates all they say is "Oh u will get it" "You will be fine" and I smile but deep inside I cant help, but to be a lil negative. I have to do this, I feel like this is whats holding me back from actually starting my life. Just this test this very important test. In my previous times I taken the Nclex I been very closed and nothing.....nothing. But I keep going and keep going. Right now I say to myself I dont wanna do this anymore I dont wanna study the same material I dont want to do this, I really dont! But I get up and I say NO!!! U have to do this, I have to......I HAVE TO! I graduated Nursing school and for what? As of right now I have a tutor online they should be contacting me anytime now (they said w/in 24 hrs) thats my last hope, Literarly

I believe everything is possible w/the help of God. He knows I been trying he knows I worked hard, because I really have. And even as I write this at this very moment I wanna cry my eyes water. Because its been how long? since May 2010 and its March. 8th 2012 and I'm sitting here like a loser.....and what hurts the most is that I am actually trying, I really am. People say this isnt for me, but theirs nothing that I wouldnt do. I love people yet maybe this isnt for me but I cant give up somethign tells me I have to keep going. And Im crying right now, I dont know anymore. I wish it wasnt me I wish I could just wake up and say yes I finally passed. I pray to God to help me.

thanks newgoalrn, i appreciate ur advice and yes i have anxiety. and about the ?'s well i did 1000 qbank of kaplan online. and yes, after every ? even if i got it right i would read the rational. and i can swear that because of reading the rational i did better. i also did the hurst and its harder then the actual test i would say, but it didnt help me, unfortunetly. i also did exam cram (the one w/5 test and its only ? and answer and rationals). i also have a folder where i have all the lab values, precautions, pharm etc. i bought a saunders book and recieved it today. but we shall see. out of all the material i have used i can honestly tell u kaplan has been the most helpful, but i still cant pass. and trust me everyday i try to pray and i wrote in a pice of paper my name and lpn next to it. i graduated in 2010 i only have a year to pass and i really want this. i want this so bad thats all i think of, ever since graduation. but i refuse to believe i pass i graduated from college!!! and i cant pass boards? i'm a fighter and i will do this i will do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

fxmama: thank you! i appreciate ur help i really do. when im answering the ?'s i really cant see which one is the best i dont know. it could be that i dont relax.....honestly i dont kno..... ugh maybe i need a zanac! lol well at this point im motivated and i have a totur now so......i just dont kno anynmore, but i wont give up!

fxmama: yes, and if u read my thread i stated that i used kaplan strategies before. i ask myself what is the ? asking me (if i cant identify the topic) if i kno the topic i look at the answer choices and if it makes sense and why it makes sense. i also keep it client focus because its a test about caring for people! of course some lab test diagnostic test are on there but those are different. i kno what my problem is i dont kno how to say it any clearer and so far nobody can help me and it frustrates me! when i took the test i knew what i was doing. i'm able to asses who would i see first (abc's/ maslows). my problem is: i'm still having trouble picking the best answer (health promotion and maintance). thats all i can say. i might consider getting a totur and expalining everything why. ugh!!!!! but imma keep trying! thanks anyways purplechicxiii: thanks and imma keep going!

i been on a mission. i even talked to my previous proffesors and sadly they are no help!!! so whats my next option? i need a person to person to tell me what am i doing wrong? i also tested the 27th and i should get my results (my weakness and my strengths). i been very discourage guys i even talked to a friend who's a nurse practiciner (sorry for the spelling) she told me she knows exactly what i mean and she said she cant help me, see what im saying? i dont wanna give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at blacklily: what did u study? how many hours? and what kind of student where u throughout the program? sorry just wanting to see if your like me. i need all the advice i can get! and i would appreciate it. how many ?'s did u get? i got 171

at fxmama i would get up at 5am review thru some questions of exam cram like 200 then 200 more questions and reviewed the rationals even if i got it right! so i would say throughout the day an average of 7 hours. i would take breaks of course but i maintain a routine. at churchsgirl i have a pn book hesi should i study it? i mean idk anymore. its so frustrating because, i take exams online the review ?'s online and i score high, so i know its not the material i dont know. i hate myself because i know whats wrong with me ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even when i was taking the test i am able to eliminate 2 out of the four and i'm still having trouble chosing the best answer.....thats my problem and who can help me? i cant give up though. this is what i want to do i want to be a nurse so fucken bad omg!!!! i just want to scream. i want this and i know whats my problem time is running out and all i can think of is finding a tutor, but where? theirs no one. i'm really trying and god knows i want this, i dont know anymore.

Hello everyone, My name is Lisa. I graduated from the LPN program May 2010. First, I want to say it hasnt been an easy ride. Every test I tool in the LPN program I struggled with. Nothing has ever been easy for me. But that doesnt mean I wont try. I tested soon after graduation I will admit I focus on memorizing instead of application. Obviously that didnt work out. The second time I took my time around, I study different. I used the Kaplan strategies I did the Kaplan online Question in the Bank (Even if I would get it right I would review EVERY rational). The first time I tested I got 87 questions. Which according to what I know the ONLY reason after 85 questions you will continue to get more is because your still in the game! So the second time I got 170. Which means my readiness improved. And I tested again not to long and again I got about the same questions. This time I studied the Kaplan strategies once more. Also EXAM CRAM all the questions. I just found out I failed today. So going in again for the FOURTH time it looks like. And since I graduated 2010 (IOWA) I only have another year to test then I'm either done or go back to the LPN program. I can honestly say with everything I know I can truelly say its NOT the material its not that I dont know it. I know myself. But I tried almost everything. As I was taking the Nclex I realize OMG this questions are making sense to me, but I'm still having trouble chosing the BEST ANSWER!!! I kno thats what my problem is!!! And I feel so discourage because no one can really help me. I am seekign out help ANY way shape or form. I'm not giving up. This is what I love to do work with PEOPLE. It brings tears to my eyes everytime because I know, I know the material (otherwise I wouldnt of passed the class). Im staying focus and keeping a positive attitude. I'm just very frustrated I dont know what to do anymore. I want this so bad, I want this so so so bad As you can see I even went online and saw this AMAZING website and I am only hoping somebody reads it and replies. Please give me any advice and what helped you that might help me. For those who are reading this and have taken the Nclex more than 2 or 3 times please answer this: Why do u think u passed the third time? What did u do different? Please guys help me, Im literarly BEGGING for help!!! Thank you guys and GOD BLESS every single one of you
