  1. Studying for the NCLEX and working

    MrPopeye posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated in May of last year. I took the test twice and shouldn't have. Too many issues in my life. Plus, I can admit, I was not prepared. I thought that nursing school alone prepares you for the...

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

    MrPopeye posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I write this in hope that it will either elicit some much-needed advice/encouragement or maybe give others hope that they are not the only person that struggles with becoming what they know they are...

  3. Why nursing hits home.....

    MrPopeye posted a topic in Nurses Rock

    Just over 4 years ago, my dad passed away. He and I were closer than close. We were the essence of "best friends." If you have seen the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness," that was almost identical to...

  4. Kaplan or UWorld?

    MrPopeye posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been using Kaplan for quite some time. My grades used to be terrible, but have improved quite a bit. For example, I just took question trainer #4 and got a 70.7. But now that my grades have...

  6. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    I had to restart the week trial. I didn't have the time to do all 1700+

    Just got my results.....I

  8. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    Well, took it today. 75 questions in 2 1/2 hours. PVT is working. I'll keep everyone

  9. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    Reduces anxiety?! I'm about to throw up I'm so stressed! I will literally be sitting in front of the computer this time

  10. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    Thanks! I failed twice and wish I had done UWorld a LONG time ago. Kaplan gives you a lot of strategies/methods, etc. For anyone looking for straight up bad ass questions and rationales, UWorld is...

  11. Epidural responsibility

    MrPopeye posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is just for my own information...this is hard for me to put into words because it sounds like a silly question. But I wanna ask anyways. Is it the responsibility of the MD or the anesthetist to...

  12. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    Free week trial went out during a test this morning, but I did pretty decent. Somewhere around 60-65, but couldn't get my grade. Went to Kaplan to do a quick 30 question test. Got a 73.3. Already a...

  13. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    I always study why I get every question wrong and how I got the right ones right. I did that with all of the Kaplan qbank trainers. Did every single one of them. But UWorld has kicked my butt! So much...

  14. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    I appreciate all of ya'lls encouragement. It really is helping. It's hard to describe being confident yet scared out of your ever-loving mind. I've already failed twice, so even though I'm more...

  15. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    I'm getting discouraged. The majority of my UWorld grades have been good, if not really good. But I get the occasional crappy grades. Like my last two test were below the average. I have been studying...

  17. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    I just started UWorld a week ago. I've gotten two tests in the 40's, one this morning with 11 of 20 questions as SATA! But the average was only 41, so I still scored about it. All other scores have...

    Good luck! You've got this! How have your scores been on

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

    Liz.....what were ur scores like? How many questions did u do? Did ur grades

  20. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    Thank you! I will. Do far I can definitely say that UWorld is a lot tougher. The questions seem to be much similar to the NCLEX Than Kaplan. And again, those rationales are top notch! Just hope it's...

  21. Epidural responsibility

    MrPopeye replied to MrPopeye's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Are there specialties in the field? Or if a CRNA is working at a hospital, would the same person provide anesthesia in the OR and go straight to an epidural for a woman in

  22. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    I've always been pretty decent with my lab values. Numbers have always been my thing. I've done all of Kaplan's qbank, but just never really got the Decision Tree. I did download the UWorld app in my...

    That's what I've decided. I just hope it

  25. Kaplan or UWorld?

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

    I have been using Kaplan since I was in school (graduated May '14). I just never utilized it the way I was supposed to. Once I actually started doing what I was supposed to, my grades started...
