I hope to test pretty soon, but have already changed my test date three times so far. Not feeling very confident after a 36 percent on the alternate format test. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Like everyone here, I am also nervous about taking NCLEX. My Kaplan scores are as follows: Diagnostic- 67.2% Readiness- 66.7% QT 1- 72% QT 2- 70.7% QT 3- 67% I intend on taking QT 4-7 over the next few days. Has anyone completed the RN Sample Tests? My scores are not as high as the QT. Sample 1- 68% Sample 2- 66% Sample 3 (Prioritization) 80% Sample 4 (Alternative Format) 36% Since I scored so low on sample 4, I have been doing lippincott's NCLEX-RN Alternate-Format Questions. This has been a great addition to Kaplan. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Hi rnlicious, Breeze was suppose to streamline the process, but apparently it has stalled things. Not to mention the BRN for Cali is short staffed which makes things pretty slow. On the flip side, more time to study. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Thank you for the ATT information. When did you graduate from Kaplan? What I have heard for 2014 graduates that since the BRN uses Breeze now, the delays have been rediculas. Someone in my cohort said that they spoke with the BRN and was told that they are just now processing the July students. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Hi There, How long did it take to get your ATT for NCLEX?

You're welcome (not that my words helped). How far into your program are you? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

First of all--I am sorry to hear that your NS experience is so bumpy. In a similar situation at my school with faculty that lacks true professionalism--in fact I'm seriously considering dropping from my program and the nursing profession all together, so I feel for your situation. It is very disheartening to see how unprofessional things get in nursing schools. I wonder if these nursing school directors realize that behaviors from the top filter down to students which will be future leaders. With this said--I wish I had some advice to your situation, but I don't. This is something you and only you can sort out. How do you find the answer? You dig down deep, compare the pros and cons and decide how you will react and grow from your nursing school experiences. I do wish you the best! Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Do you also have NCLEX-PN study materials? I ask because pharm is great, but to really prepare, you might want to test yourself by getting Saunders or whichever NCLEX PN study manual you like. Maybe even sign up for Kaplan NCLEX course to better prepare. If you are eligible to challenge, then study study and pass! Best of luck to you!

Have you tried ROP in the San Diego area? Community Colleges? Or what about calling some long term care or assisted living facilities? Some may pay for on the job training, then once you have enough hours and experience, you take the state exam. I hope this helps ^_^

Hi everyone, Hoping you all might have some advice. I am having a few issues with other students in my class. Disgusted with the unprofessionalism and lost on what to do. I know nursing school is very competitive, but I don't recall so many trying to undermine fellow students. The situations below discuss situations with 4 students. Here we go—someone (we'll call her student 1)is trying to read some last minute notes prior to an exam. Student 2 goes out of her way to interrupt the student by repeatedly saying her (student 1) name so that the student is forced to acknowledge student 2. Student 2 had nothing to ask , just wanted to tell student 1 about an experience that she had. Student 1 politely said that she was trying to review prior to the exam. Student 2 disregards the comment made and continues to talk. This happens often, so not an isolated incidence. Student 1 sits far away from this student, but student 2 still comes over and distracts. Same day- different student that has been acting like a friend...calls venting about a friend that she had an argument with—Went on to describe her situation by bringing up a very personal event that had happened to student 1. There was no comparison, just seems like an attempt to get student 1 to provide details of her personal event. Then yet another student tries trash talking student 2 to student 1, but student 1 knows that these two had been friends. Student 1 tries to offer an ear and relates to other life events. There is so much more—above are simply recent occurrences. I don't know what else to do. Avoiding only goes so far and seems to make things worse, but I also know there are no friends in nursing school. Has anyone else had similar school experiences? And if so, what did you do to resolve the conflicts? Thank you for any advise that you may have! I'm on my smart phone, so I apologize for any grammar or spelling errors.
