    I will pass the NCLEX on June 4th!

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

    Well I was in and out in about 1.5 hours. Only saw 75 questions and feel pretty good about it. Can't say what difficulty of questions I had except for the first 25 were fairly easy, and the last 50...

    Does anyone have any recommended NCLEX style practice questions

    rob4546 replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    Saunders, Silvestri, Davis, Davis mobile, just about any you can find. There are many NCLEX review books available. I really enjoyed all the questions in the Kaplan package, didn't enjoy the course...

    Question about using earlier edition books

    rob4546 replied to Roo123,RN's topic in General Students

    This would be a great question for the instructor. My patho book was an older edition but worked just fine (instructor said no real change). My nutrition book was nearly completely different...

    Lunch bag suggestions?

    rob4546 replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    I don't think I would use the one in this post, seems like bad luck.... https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/clinical-drama-question-925360.html Okay, that wasn't nice. It was funny...

    What Do You Eat?

    rob4546 replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Sure you had to ask that question!!! My answer is too much coffee and nothing good. Two years in my nursing program and I have to work extra hard to get rid of nearly 45 extra pounds. Just ignore...

    nclex june 27th

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

    Our instructors suggested 100 questions a day. On average I did around 250 a day plus reading a little content material. Just to be fair, I usually overdo everything but I also feel really ready for...

    Have you gotten your official results yet? With the good pop up it shouldn't be a problem, but I bet it is exciting to see

    Having trouble with Kaplan/standardized tests

    rob4546 replied to cafegoer's topic in General Students

    I have to apologize, I reread your post and you did say it was the integrated tests. Sorry, little burnt out on reviewing for the NCLEX. Anyway, did your instructor open the focused review...

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

    Thanks for the well wishes! It is nice to have someone in my corner that understands the magnitude of this date. Friends not in nursing just think it is another "nursing exam" that I have talked...

    Having trouble with Kaplan/standardized tests

    rob4546 replied to cafegoer's topic in General Students

    Just to clarify, which tests are we talking about? (Med Surg, Peds, Pharmacology, Q Trainer, Q bank, Diagnostic, Readiness, Secure predictor 1 or 2 etc.) Also, are the scores you are quoting the...

    I'm about to get a loan but have a question...

    rob4546 replied to NurseSN45696's topic in General Students

    At my school all our loans, grants, and scholarships were applied to our account and the excess was refunded to us 1 week after the census date. We got the refund on a debit MasterCard that we had to...

    Select All That Apply

    rob4546 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I would assume that there would be no concrete rules for SATA questions. If I would have to come up with one it would be that there will always be at least one correct selection. This would be due...

    My kaplan scores. Am i really ready??

    rob4546 replied to Rosie1217's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those numbers look respectable and are above the threshold Kaplan posted for successful NCLEX. I don't think that the numbers alone can determine if you are ready or not. Take a minute to...

    How was microbiology for you? Grade for you? Topics covered?

    rob4546 replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

    Microbiology was fun. For me it was just a repeat of college biology with the addition of growing bacteria. We grew glow in the dark E. coli which was interesting. Got an A with little effort,...

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

    I have used many. Saunders, Silvestri, Kaplan, etc. There are apps from many companies like Davis mobile and even Kaplan. In your app store search for Kaplan Qbank and there are a free 165-185...

    When Should I Start Studying for the NCLEX

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

    In the program I attended we began answering NCLEX questions from a variety of sources in the second year. I would assume that I have answered maybe 7000-8000 questions (or more). I can't even...

    Speed Shock

    rob4546 replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    Have to say I have never heard that term before either. I was taught what might happen if you push each class of drug too fast but it was not referred to as "speed shock". We were taught this a...

    Do I 'NEED' these books?

    rob4546 replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    Out of all of them I would only get the lab values and diagnostic reference book. If you can buy it used because even though I used it, I used it very little. A book a little rough around the edges...

    acceptance letters from nursing programs

    rob4546 replied to MicrobioloLI's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure about your program but for mine the letters were received 3 weeks before the start of the program. It may not take that long for you because the program I finished was going through a change...

    Stupid classmate tricks

    We also had a classmate that either had or was currently experiencing what ever condition or disease we were discussing. A small group of us enlisted the instructors assistance and created a rare...

    Passed by 1 question!

    rob4546 replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    You might look at Saunders Strategies for Test Success. This book helped change the way I looked at test questions and it was fairly inexpensive as
