    Thoughts on NOT studying day before NCLEX

    BloomNurseRN replied to nursie2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I looked over NOTHING the day before. I finished Kaplan two days before and told myself that it was now or never. The day before I just went to church, relaxed with my kiddos and husband, and then...

    Please help!!! Failed NCLEX for the 3rd time!

    BloomNurseRN replied to RedVet1999's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you're having a hard time with "which patient would you see first" type of questions, then LaCharity could definitely be a step in the right direction. You need to think in terms of...

    My daughter graduated BSN May 10th still hasn't received her ATT. Has anyone

    BloomNurseRN replied to Cathylady's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here in Indiana I received (and most of my classmates) my ATT less than a week after graduation and have already taken and passed the NCLEX. I would stop trying to call and go to the campus to see...

    IDs needed for the NCLEX?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Keri Camp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No need to call when you get your ATT. The instructions on it are VERY explicit about what to bring and what to expect. A driver's license and your ATT are what they expect. Good

    Need Motivation For NCLEX-RN!

    BloomNurseRN replied to itsbekah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can do it! I honestly found that just scheduling myself to study made me honor that time and commitment. I used Kaplan and ATI but I think just about anything will work as long as you're...

    Prioritization

    BloomNurseRN replied to ONELUV-RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would prioritize the patient with ARF putting out less than 30 ml. Acute renal failure can many times be reversed and dealing with them would be the more emergent priority. I would think about...

    NY State BON License Number After NCLEX

    BloomNurseRN replied to teddygraham's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry, I'm in Indiana but you can definitely try the Pearson trick if it hasn't shown up quickly. I was shocked and lucky enough that my license number was on the state site less than 30 minutes...

    Kaplan score.. Is it good or bad? Please help

    BloomNurseRN replied to jowane's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you're going in the right direction but that you definitely want to get those scores up. I also took some of mine while tired and that does NOT help at all. If you can, try to set aside time...

    I just have to add, apparently I got super lucky or something with the timing. So far, a classmate that also took it yesterday didn't get her results until today and of the 4 people that took it...

    Do you find Kaplan Tree useful?

    BloomNurseRN replied to tarotale's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There definitely weren't questions that were word for word but yes, they were absolutely similar. I really didn't try to study or focus on content, I did my best to do the most questions I could...

    Do you find Kaplan Tree useful?

    BloomNurseRN replied to tarotale's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think my biggest issue with it was that many questions didn't fit the tree and I would get frustrated trying to separate them out. I think that if what you were doing before you tried the tree was...

    was reported by a nurse... what's going to happen?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Priaz's topic in General Students

    Having just graduated I, like kelsey1992, think that it was a bit strange to have done things in the order you describe them. Throughout my program the 5 Rights were emphasized like I can't even...

    Do you find Kaplan Tree useful?

    BloomNurseRN replied to tarotale's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan and while I found the question bank and the trainers to be immensely helpful, I VERY rarely used the tree. I did carefully try to eliminate options and obviously used the ABC's like...

    BloomNurseRN replied to chikah_dorah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did it take you to the credit card screen? If it took you to that screen it just means it's not definite that you passed. It does NOT mean, it's definite that you failed by any means, it just means...

    NCLEX in 3 days & I am beyond nervous!!

    BloomNurseRN replied to i<3u's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX yesterday and I feel ATI and Kaplan really prepared me. I did QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, and more QUESTIONS. Saturday before the test I did 445+ questions. I wanted to know that I had...

    Thank you, grad.rye.2012! I honestly haven't talked to anyone that's walked out of the NCLEX thinking they aced it. I'm sorry you had such a hard time (and ended up with all 265!) but if you got...

    Thank you CT Pixie! I was shocked to see my license # hit so fast but was ridiculously excited. I didn't even receive the confirmation email from the state about it until late in the afternoon. I'm...

    Insensitive nursing instructors

    BloomNurseRN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I don't really have a comment about insensitive instructors. While I have had some that were very intimidating, I have been lucky that above all they have wanted to see us succeed. I do have a...

    How many of you practice on your family members?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I'm with the other commenters so far, only non-invasive practicing was done on my family/friends. I did passive ROM, vitals, and assessment. My husband would have NEVER let me near him with needles....
