Hi ladies, sorry for the extreme late reply. Yes, I live in Jamaica, ny. I came to ny when I was 11, and moved back and forward.

This is so great to read all of y'all experiences. I went to college at la inter., and I don't feel like they prepare you for the nclex what so ever. I've taken the nclex four times and no luck. I just paid to register again. Btw in the state of New York...I'm really loosing hope, and I'm just tired and scared. I tried a few reviews, last one being kaplan...im considering hurst...good luck to all

Yes, graduated in December 2009, took the nclex for the first time in June 2011. May I ask why you sound so surprise?

Hi, I went to la inter de arecibo. I can't agree with you more of how unorganized they are! I finished college in December 2009. After passing la rebalidad, which is ridiculous how they offer it, I had my official license from Puerto Rico around December 2010. During that time I moved from pr to fl, to fl to ny. Which is where I've been trying to get my liscence. It was alot of paperwork. I Had to get certified in a whole bunch of things, get a notary, pictures, I even think finger prints. That whole process lasted until May 2012. Then in June of 2011 was my first attempt at taking the nclex...there is nothing from la inter that prepares you for this test! I will be taking the nclex for the 4x in November. Lots of work, but please don't give up! I hope that you are able to get this soon since I noticed that you posted in September. I hoe this helps you, good luck!

Hi rn2135, four days of class in person. And of course as long as it takes me to finish their online review, that's what they offer, let's hope it works. Thank you

Wow. ..your giving me such a great motivating! I took my nclex in September 16th for the third time, and I failed. I found a last minute review course with kaplan starting Monday. Is a 4 day class and of course online access to all their material. I just have so much faith that this is what will help me pass. Thank you, and congratulations!

Thank you so much,. I was a bit hesitant about kaplan, but now I'm excited. ..I can't wait for Monday to start. Do you all think four days is enough time to go through it?

Thank you for the reply, very helpful!

Hi everyone, I failed the nclex 3x. I'm very motivated to take it very soon again. I just had a question for all of those who failed it and passed it eventually. When the ncsbn sends you the letter, and you can see how you did; below passing, near passing or above passing. In order to pass, are you supposed to have all categories above passing? Or is it a mixture of maybe one near passing and most of them above passing? I'm just wondering because if someone was to have all above passing, would it mean that they had a perfect score?.. and if I'm not mistaken you just need a 70% or more to pass. So there fore you can pass the test with a near passing category. I hope this makes sense... I'm just trying to compare my previous results. I had a few categories where I performed above passing level, which I'm pretty proud of, and then I had the medications category which I performed below level... any way I hope that I expressed my self and that some one can help me understand that part. Thank you all.

Thank you for the post. I failed my nclex 3x... first time I used feuer review, second time I can't really remember, I was so busy in other aspects of my life. This third time I studied sooo much, I used saunders. I understood the questions much better than the other times. I don't understand what I did wrong, but I bet it was those lab and med questions. That was on September 16th. I found a last minute kaplan review course in my area, and going for it, I really hope that it would help me pick the right answer,. I will still use saunders for content.

Thank you all. I'm going to give a fair try to kaplan, but I will look through my feuer review books. ... maybe this time I will get it....and I agree about the medications, so important to have that right before going in.

Wow. .I just posted about this too. I just found out I failed my nclex on my third attempt Monday. I'm devastated. ...I want to take a review course, hurst or kaplan... they ate both happening at the same time in my town. which one? I did take the feuer my first time, and I didn't think it helped me... but I hear good things about it. ..

Hi Everyone! , I'm in desperate need of help. I just found out that I failed, on my third attempt. .. I'm a nursing student from Puerto Rico, trying to get my license in New York. The first two times that I took the test I did not feel prepared at all. I was working as a manager in retail and did not have my priorities straight . That was 2011 and 2012...I took the test a year apart. This year I finally got a much relaxing job where I was able to concentrate on my studies. I used saunders, which I love, helped me so much with content. Nclex 3500 and ncsbn. I knew that I needed reinforcement on medications and lab's. ..wich I swear I thought my test was 50% just that. I'm not giving up. ..I just need to know wich review would be better. They are both happening at the same time in my area, and I need to pick one. Which one do you all recommend for someone in my situation? Thank you so much. Please give me advise soon, I need to register today!

Thank you for your advise. I think I decided that I'm going to look into hurst, and take a kaplan online review. 8 wush I could do it live, but I can't miss much work. What do yall think ?

Thank you. You too, please do let me know how you did. All we can do is try and never give up. The day that we give up is the day that we failed.
