    did i check Pearson Vue trick too soon

    rob4546 replied to hopefulnurse2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know you are worried, it is obvious. You are really stressing yourself out over something you cannot change. Either you pass or fail. That may sound mean in the emotional condition you are in...

    I need some perspective! Please

    rob4546 replied to MurseMoney's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree as well. What more do you think you could do in a month off studying? Rely on what you have learned in nursing school and get it over

    did i check Pearson Vue trick too soon

    rob4546 replied to hopefulnurse2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Relax, Relax........ If you checked it too soon it would make no difference about pass or fail. Results being on hold has more to do with a problem with testing or irregularities with checking in to...

    Failing the NCLEX...

    rob4546 replied to KJoRN81's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think that anyone can say that you missed it by 1 or even 5 questions. What they can say is that the area in which you were below the passing standard is what you need to work on. If you...

    48 hour results

    rob4546 replied to jamiedianne2000's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For me and my state (which I assume is the same everywhere as long as the state allows quick results) the option pops up when you log into Pearson again and of course after 48 hours. There is nothing...

    Questions !!

    rob4546 replied to Jmsimpson10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am a big proponent of practice questions. I figure I did 10,000-12,000 questions through my last year in nursing school and like the above poster I never doubted my results at all. I felt no...

    rob4546 replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, I don't think that is a bad grade at all. Keep up the good

    Congratulations!!!

    How was you last (final) semester

    rob4546 replied to brownsc2's topic in General Students

    I would guess it depends on the program. In my case we lost 3 people our last semester. It wasn't really smooth sailing, but I don't believe it was as hard as 3rd semester. We had an nursing exit...

    kaplan diagnostic test...

    rob4546 replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If I remember correctly, no you can't. They do give you text book type resources explaining what you needed to know to answer the questions. I guess Kaplan uses that test as a standardized test to...

    Question about Saunders NCLEX materials

    rob4546 replied to Just_Kidney's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Personally I think the questions are really the main attraction of the NCLEX review so purchasing the questions alone would be fine. The only other thing is the book (the earlier edition at least)...

    Tomorrow is the day

    rob4546 replied to punchin51799's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How exciting! Don't be nervous, be excited that the day is here. Little advice, the Pearson Vue information says to be there up to 30 minutes before the test but I would be there 35-40 minutes...

    Frustrated with the Admission Process

    rob4546 replied to honeyrose29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ahhhhhhh, what an awful position to be in. With those scores you would naturally assume that you would be near the top of the list! I hear your frustration and yes you should vent a little. If you...

    Help! Are my Kaplan scores good enough?

    rob4546 replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, take a deep breath.... First of all I don't think that anyone here can accurately tell you if you are ready to take the NCLEX, even with posting the Kaplan scores. There are people that passed...

    Can I be a nurse with social anxiety disorder?

    rob4546 replied to alconos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Listen to the advice above. It sounds really sound and from the heart. The only thing I have to add is get a good planner and write everything down to stay ahead and to not get behind. Do not...

    WAITING ON ATT....

    rob4546 replied to Shandra2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had my ATT within 52 hours from the time I dropped off the final paperwork at the post office (my transcripts). I thought ahead and found out who would be processing my paperwork at the state...

    Funny/Embarrassing Moments of Nursing School

    rob4546 replied to Kellz321's topic in General Students

    On one of my last clinical days before graduation I was assigned 2 first year nursing student to supervise for part of the leadership class. One of the patients we had was a 12 yo boy that was...

    Lifting patients

    rob4546 replied to Blueheart1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't be that worried, if you have to lift patients there are lifts made to help with this. We were instructed early on and many times during nursing school that at no time should we ever lift...

    Lawsuit over grade changes?

    rob4546 replied to Jackson12's topic in General Students

    I would assume that tightening of the standards and the high staff turnover rate in the past years is an attempt to increase the pass rate on the NCLEX from a sub-par standing. So there are members...

    Failed nclex again

    rob4546 replied to keiannurse04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First of all, wait till you get the quick results before you condemn yourself. You may have passed, you do not know for sure yet, right? I don't know where you were listening when someone said if...

    Buying a stethoscope before Nursing School

    rob4546 replied to FutureFresnoNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wasn't trying to correct you in a negative way. I too have seen many nurses use their stethoscope very minimally. In the facility I had my clinicals at had a patient that was fed through a g-tube...

    Best Nclex book for new nursing student??

    rob4546 replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    I also agree that the Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX review is a very good book. I have used it front to back as well to pass the NCLEX and in class. I would plan on getting it as well, but to begin...

    Best Nclex book for new nursing student??

    rob4546 replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    Every person I talk to that is starting nursing school I mention, Saunders Strategies for Test Success: Passing Nursing School and the NCLEX Exam, 2e. This is a fairly basic representation of NCLEX...

    Buying a stethoscope before Nursing School

    rob4546 replied to FutureFresnoNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Uhhhh, no. Not trying to be negative of difficult, but with shift assessments and possible problems that come up during the day as well as passing meds all day, you will use it a lot when you...

    I guess I passed? 75 Questions :)

    rob4546 replied to Mindylane's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My results showed up on the state BON website 3 days after my test and 1 week from the test I received my license in the mail. That has been faster than everyone else so far in my class by nearly 1...
