  1. Kaplan or UWorld?

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I appreciate

  2. Kaplan or UWorld?

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've used nothing but Kaplan until now. I've failed my test twice, but I don't think it was because of Kaplan. The first time I made the assumption that nursing school prepares you to take the exam. I...

  3. Kaplan or UWorld?

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sure you do have great news! I used to be worried by getting better grades in Kaplan. Then the more I reviewed the rationales, the more I started to "get it." I may never get test grades in the...

  4. Kaplan or UWorld?

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't know if I should be scared by that or not!

  5. Kaplan or UWorld?

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a friend tell me today, after I posted this, that her grades on Kaplan were great. But when she used UWorld for a week, her Kaplan readiness test was basically a joke it was so easy. I'm...

  6. How am I going to pass this test?!

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm about to start the free week trial. I just paid for my registration today. Should hopefully get my ATT at the beginning to middle of the week. Hoping to text Nov

  7. How am I going to pass this test?!

    MrPopeye posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am freaking out! Yes, I study almost every available minute that I can. Yes, I work 6 days a week 2nd shift (my choice of shift and amount of days. I love the hours and need the money.) I am...

  8. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I asked for extra time when i was in school and they gave it to me. There was a group of us. I asked then because there was almost always a few students with a cough or some sort of nervous thing...

  9. Paying it forward. My NCLEX experience

    MrPopeye replied to EyeheartNursing_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm gonna wait to start the free week trial of UWorld for when I have the actual date. But thank you! I appreciate

  10. Men Scrubs...for a muscular build

    MrPopeye replied to .Simplicity.'s topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree with the suggestions for Carhartt scrubs. I have tons of them and love them. I also like Jockey scribe because when I bend over in most scrubs, I rip the crotch. But the Jockeys are super...

  11. Paying it forward. My NCLEX experience

    MrPopeye replied to EyeheartNursing_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been SO scared to retake my test. I took it and failed twice last year. But, I am more than ok in admitting that I was not prepared AT ALL. I didn't study anywhere near what I needed to....

  12. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think what kills me is I almost always get to two answers, and it's always a what would I do in the REAL world vs what would I do on the test world? I can't use reverse logic every time because it's...

  13. Studying for the NCLEX and working

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I will be scheduling either later this week or the beginning of next. I will start the u world free week thing as soon as I schedule, as well as my study efforts will increase DRAMATICALLY. Could I...

  14. Studying for the NCLEX and working

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have a friend that passed that let me borrow her Hurst content book. I actually took Hurst last year and didn't really like it. So I have stayed with Kaplan. I did, however, make it through the...

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, anything is worth a shot,

  16. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    All of the distractions are minute issues for me. I wish that was all that I had to worry about! For me, it's a constant fixation on certain things in my life. Kinda like it was said earlier, it's an...

  17. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Tex.... When I was first put on Adderall, it barely worked. I called the psychiatrist back at the VA and was told that there is nothing else the VA could Rx me. (I was also put on Ritalin and dextro....

  18. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not really looking for accommodations. I feel that if I study hard enough and prepare well enough, extra time won't matter. Besides, they give you head phones to use for questions with sound. I...

  19. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've been put on Adderall, but the doseage wasn't right. I am slowly bumping it up 5mg at a time. I feel like I'm getting closer to what works best for

  20. Disheartened

    MrPopeye posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I am preparing to enter into my last semester of nursing school. Since I have started, I have had a minimum of one instance where I was left baffled at how in the heck I got involved negatively in a...

  21. Disheartened

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in Men in Nursing

    I appreciate the advice ya'll. I have pretty much done what ya'll have suggested. I ignore it all now. I have been an ******* all my life. A part of this journey for me has been trying to be a better...

  22. Clinicals - - what to expect?

    MrPopeye replied to livmoore89's topic in General Students

    Each school is different in what they cover 1st semester/year. But, from what I have gathered, they all have the same goal in the 1st semester...get you involved with the patients. Like it's been...

  23. How do you get job offers before graduating NS?

    MrPopeye replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    Like it's been said, start applying. The worst they can say is "no." I already have a contingent offer, and I'm a year out. Mine is because I know someone.

  24. Need stethoscope help/advise

    MrPopeye replied to dreams2be's topic in General Students

    Great advice so far. I have a Littman 3200 because I have ear problems. Unless you are in the same boat, don't waste the money. It's a great scope for me, but all you're going to get are the same...

  25. Best Stethoscope?

    MrPopeye replied to RedHeaded2bNurse16's topic in General Students

    I know this will sound rude, but why do people take the time to tell someone to do a search, or even search for links to threads when they could have taken less time to just answer the question?...
