Hello! I received some pretty disheartening news about a month ago that my hospital was closing. I have worked on a med surg/telemetry floor with the occasional float to our small ICU for about a year now. I have my ACLS and hospice experience also....

Well I had my interview. I left feeling pretty happy. The HR manager said she felt I interview very well and exemplified the qualities of the organization. I went to next interview with the nurse manager and the nurse manager for the CCU (medically m...

Thanks for the insight, guys. It's a level two trauma center so I don't know if that would matter at all with deciding what kind of cases they would handle. I will definitely post how it goes!

So I'll try to make this as brief as possible. I have been working at a small hospital (think 75 beds) for the past five weeks on a med surg floor. I was hired before I graduated (new grad here) and was extremely grateful for the hire on my one and o...

You're scores look good! I always had problems with secon guessing too. I did it a ton with my actual test also and still passed in 75. I think it's importan when you do second guess to objectively look at your options and apply it to the knowledge ...

Worked for me. Quick results confirmed today. Five other classmates all have the same tune. :)

Your scores remind me a little of how mine went with the all overness. Obviously you have some content down solid or you wouldn't be picking up those seventies. Go back to 1,3, and even 5 and pick out your misses and calibrate that to hurst content. ...

Hello to all I take my NCLEX Tuesday!! Just an FYI my school did Kaplan integrated testing and I am posting these in order of taking them. Nursing assessment test: 71.7 january Diagnostic: 66.7 may Readiness:67.2 may School ends and I do the rest i ...

Just thought I would comment on this thread because I had the same question before I took my test. I'm a very in depth person and I research everything. In my own personal opinion and my professors agreed, the nclex did not change in degree of questi...

Thanks! You are right! having confidence does help. i can say i didnt go into it peobably with as much as im told i should have, but being on here definitely helped me! Congrats to you too, again :) P.s. hope you told your family.

Just wanted to confirm your overwhelming intelligence.

Welllll........ I PASSED!!! I'm so happy! Thank god. PVT seemed to hold up in my case in comparison to my quick results. Thanks so much to you and everyone for all the positivity! So happy!

Agree. Ohio is the worst. I know of three others who are in the same boat as you. Heard they are extremely understaffed. Sucks for us, but only so much a limited number of people can do. So sorry to hear about all your troubles.

Yay! Congrats Sparkles1! I think it's safe to say you passed! Lol awesome!!!!

Ahhh! Thanks to you both! I am cautiously optimistic. I definitely wasn't smiling when I walked out. Lol I kept telling myself during the test "remember what your allnurses friends have said." Lol I just wanna say how happy I am there is a forum li...

I feel like you took those words out of my mouth. I found my test to be much harder than kaplan. Shut off at 75, got the good pop up. Still insane,y nervous.

Finally out! Took me about three hours to answer 75 questions. Not sure how I feel. Made a couple stupid mistakes. Had 20 SATA and 1 drag and drop and 1 EKG. I already did the Pearson vue trick (haha) and the message of "our records indicate you h...

Thank you so much sparkles1! What a positive post for any test taker. :) I think I'll read that again before tomorrow. Lol

Gotcha! Will keep you posted. :)

Very informative thanks so much! Hoping I have a similar experience as you. I didn't do hurst bc I just didn't have the time. Kaplan was so time consuming. Plus my school drillllllls Kaplan so I didn't have to pay any extra! My aunt, a nurse educator...

Forgot to ask you, did you do any other kaplans?

Will let you know tomorrow! Congrats on getting the good pop up :) I'm undecided if I will do the PVT as I have heard a few time people saying they didn't get the pop up and passed. I don't wanna freak myself out. I haven't heard anyone say they got ...

Thanks! I am trying to do just that. Congrats to you!

promotion is probably my second weakest! Good luck to you! That's a good score for readiness accordin to my professor who is a Kaplan instructor. Best wishes! Keep me posted. :)

Thank you! I'm still reviewing psych (always my weakest!) Not sure what more to do at this point. I'm always a cautious one.
