I passed with an 84% raw score=99% predictor of passing the NCLEX. BSN Secured ? ? I also never used the pink ATI book that everyone praised, I felt like the chapters were too long and it was super vague. Instead I used my cathy parkes flash cards and did some adaptive quiz questions. I already used her cards during nursing school so going over it again was simple. Our school had us do plenty of ATI questions per week so I kinda already felt burnt out. With that being said I was super nervous for it. I scored low on both of my practice exit exams, the first one I got 65% and the second one I got 72%. I was in Youtube comments asking people for tips, searching comprehensive Twitter hashtags, messaging people on IG, and asking people on here for advice. I always disliked ATI because of how they word their exams but your boy is officially done with nursing school. Good luck ?

oof denise ?. I remember going to get information regarding the nursing program and she wouldn't face me or my dad, after multiple attempts I just gave up and chose a different program. Good luck with your endeavors.

What's the wait list like for the nursing program at Cypress these days? I remember wanting to do the nursing program back in 2010 but they said it was a 2 year wait list AFTER finishing the pre-reqs ?‍♂️

Still got about 8 weeks before the real one and want to be prepared since I got a 65.3% on the first practice.

Yes, I am sure I checked off first time renewal. I'll call them tomorrow and see what happens. I hope I can get this fixed asap, if I have an inactive license is it still easy to make it active? anything to not take that nclex again ahah

I got this letter in the mail when trying to renew my lvn license. It's my first time renewing it, Am I supposed to put I did 0 hours of CE and sign the first option or the second option? I think 0 is okay for the first time renewal right? I want my license to be active so that means I can still work as an lvn whereas inactive means I cant?? I'm a bit confused. I'm going back to school in about 2 months to go for my RN

I guess the confusing part was showing them certification. I'm still looking for work as an lvn but I'll also put Cna in the application incase they have that instead, and just show them my lvn license right?

but if I did go back to school for CNA certification, will that make my lvn license null? I heard it cancels it out so in the future I can't work as an lvn..?

Can you elaborate? What do you mean they are not allowed a CNA certificate? The problem is I can't find any employer that would hire a CNA position with lvn license only. And how would they know if you're a license lvn when going in only applying for CNA position?

just to get my foot in the door, the CNA course is 3months(I think). I was thinking if I work as a CNA for 6months to a year eventually I can move up to the lvn position at the same place.

I was thinking of getting my CNA license but I've heard I can lose my LVN license if I work as a CNA? Is this a myth? I'm in California

So I Recently took the nclex and passed. I graduated in the end of 2013, took my first nclex in may/14 and Failed (at 112? questions). This obviously crushed me, since I was a pretty good student throughout nursing school. I sort of lost confidence, checked my report sheet and I was average in some of the subjects and below average in psych (I didn't study it before the test, of course the one chapter I skip on is on the nclex). I didn't schedule my next nclex appointment until March/15 (which was the worst thing to do, since I just forgot more stuff). Failed again (at 85 questions). Got the reports back and I did much worse than before, was below average in almost all the categories. And this was the worst feeling, I tried correcting the mistakes I made last time and it didn't help, I gave it my 100% and it wasn't good enough. Scheduled 3rd appointment in Aug/15. And this was the worst one cause I was a no show. I didn't even feel like I was ready so I didn't show up (stupid of me when I think back). At this point it gets frustrating and scary cause I graduated almost 2years ago and I still haven't passed. So I Scheduled my 4th appointment on March/16. I actually made a mental checklist of stuff I wanted to do this year and thought about how awesome it would be if I could get over this hurdle within the first quarter of the year. I did spend more time on questions than studying content this time. My only source was the Nclex Mastery app (android). I did 60 a day (30 in the morning and 30 at night for 2 weeks). Except on test day, I didn't do any questions cause I feared if I got a whole bunch wrong back to back then I would mentally screw with me. So I went in to take the test and literally the first few questions were SATA. Great, my greatest weakness in all of nursing school is the reason why I'm going to have to fail again. Literally the whole test was SATA, or at least 40-50 questions, I got other ones which were like you're sitting in a meeting and you have to figure out whats priority, got a couple where they would give me hospital equipment and you have to pick which isn't working, like 3 drug dosages and more SATA. Half way though the test I put my head down and just remembered what my instructor told me. He pretty much said to choose the first answer that came to mind and to just go with it and not think back. So as I'm taking the test and thinking I've failed with all the SATA questions I got, I would just read the question and check the boxes and click next. I got 86 questions, test shut off and I went home. The drive home is always interesting cause every time I took the nclex I would give myself a lecture on how I'm going to change my study habits and pick up the book more. A couple days go by and I realize I got 86 questions instead of 85 (I think 85 is the minimum). So I started to give myself a little hope that I got one extra question and maybe that could be the deciding factor if I passed or not. I thought it would be cool if by some miracle I could pass. I was at work a few days later and my sister called me to say I passed. I wasn't excited or anything cause I didn't beleive it, just numb. I got the initial license fee form (didn't even get the CPR report). Came home and filled it out, sent the fee, they cashed it and sent my license in the mail. Just the white license that says my name on it, I expected a certificate or something but whatever I finally passed! Finally I don't have to have this in the back of my mind anymore, huge weight is lifted, And oh yeah, everytime I went to take the nclex the same lady was there haha how embarrassed I was for that So if I could give any advice, just do questions if you feel like your burned out on content. I truly felt like I knew my content but didn't know how to actually answer the question. For anyone who wonders how long it took for my license to come: (California) 3/15 Took Nclex 3/26 Received initial license Fee Letter 3/27 paid/sent initial fee letter (easter, so it probably went out on monday 3/28) 4/19 Cashed Check 5/7 License Came;)

I am using this app right now, anyone have any luck with it by taking and passing the nclex using it? I'm thinking of using uworld but can't find the app on android for pn

Don't know if this is a rumor but I had a teacher tell me if you check some of the correct answers in SATA and not all of the correct ones it gives you partial credit. Another (non rumor) question I had for drug dosage questions is that you have to add the value right? like if the answer is 2 you write "2 tables" or "2 ml" and not just 2 or else it will be counted as wrong?

just wondering when you check the pvt are you supposed to say you've taken the nclex before, when filling out the yes/no questions (even though its my first time)
