Hello everyone. I'm a RN with my ADN, and I have decided to go back for my RN-BSN in August. My initial plans were for me to go back in August 2004 after I graduated in May 2004, but unfortunately I didn't pass the NCLEX on the first try. I was devas...

I'm looking for the same thing, because it seems that on-line courses are more expensive than your traditional classroom. I wonder with us being nurses if that would effect us a lot with getting financial aid.

Menetopali, I was thinking about taking Jacksonville's on-line program. So how do you like it? I figured with any on-line course it will require a lot motivation and dedication. Do you have anymore views on Jacksonville's on-line program?

I think that my first time around I didn't really understand "WHY" this and that happens, I didn't understand how to answer the questions, and I really don't feel like I was fully prepared. Also, I was SO NERVOUS when I took my test the first time th...

I pray that God blesses you with the result you want: PASS!!!! Keep us posted :)

Saunders was incredible!! I basically did all my questions from the CD-ROM because I wanted to stay equipped with computerized testing. It was the perfect choice for me. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wendy, Britt, and Rikomama those are all normal responses of anxiety that you all are feeling. I felt the same way when I took my test. When I would study and I would miss a question, I felt like I wasn't prepared. To tell you the truth I don't know ...

I used Hurst when I prepared for the NCLEX and I think that the extra material she gives you is very helpful. I had a couple of triage questions on the NCLEX and I was confident in answering those questions, because I had reviewed the ER Triage info....

Hey Stacy, I think that Hurst and Saunders is a great combination when preparing for the NCLEX. I had a consistent study routine, which I think this is important when preparing for the NCLEX because it keeps you focused. I did atleast 3000 practice q...

Hello everyone, I took the NCLEX this morning 3/31/2005. Had only 75 questions. I really don't know what to think. Had no calculations, couple check all that apply, triage, couple pharm and delegation, but tons of priority. My last questions at the e...

Janetrette, you and I are in the same boat. I'm currently looking and applying to several hospitals in FL. I don't know how true it is, but they say that it's better to work on a med-surg unit first to get the experience, and then transfer to a speci...

CONGRAGULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :balloons: Have you already found a job?

I passed everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :balloons: I took the test last Thursday like I said before, but I didn't see my name on the BON website. So I got sick of waiting and checked my results on the Pearson site. When I saw that my grade was: passed, I s...

Thanks to everyone for your continous support and encouragement. I'm still on cloud 49. :wink2:

I did a lot of things different this time around. I told myself that I was going to give it all I got in order to pass the test this time around. I was devastated and miserable the first time I failed. But I told myself that I didn't go through years...

I used Saunders and I found it to be very good.

Does anyone understand why it takes 2 days to get unofficial results? What's going on in those two days that we have to anxiously wait for our results. Two days seems like forever.

Thanks slobgob and Janetrette. Still anxiously waiting for my results.

Can anyone give me advice on what to do the night before the NCLEX. I want to relax and get a good night's sleep before the exam. The last time I took the NCLEX, I was up half the night from anxiety. So for anyone who has taken the NCLEX, can you tel...

I live in Florida

Jantrette Try to stay calm and confident. I'm sure all is well. If you didn't pass the NCLEX this time around, it doesn't mean you're dumb because you stopped at 75. You went through long years of nursing school and passed, and it takes a soldier to ...

Hello everyone. I'm totally freaking out! I'm scheduled to take the boards the last week of March and the closer it gets to taking my test, the more nervous I become. I've been studying from Saunders Q&A disc, and on average I been scoring anywhe...

Depending on your BON you can re-take the NCLEX 45-90 days from the last time taken. Some BON, such as Florida require you take a review course if you fail the NCLEX 3 times. So it will probably be a good idea to look on your BON website to see how l...

You thought that the questions on the NCLEX were easier than your practice tests from Lippincott? If so, then wow. I think that's the first time I've heard that. I actually had a friend take the NCLEX a while back and she stopped at 78. She told me t...

Biggirl4, try to stay positive. They say that everyone feels uncertain after the test. I had a friend a couple weeks ago whose test stopped at 75 and she passed. She said that when the test stopped she just sat there for a minute because she didn't k...
