This is good to know. I just completed the review course video and have begun studying the workbook and plan to take the qbank tests soon (I test in 3 weeks). I really like it and actually could have benefited from it during nursing school. So much...

I've been out of nursing school since December 11, 2015! It is January 28, 2016 and I have no ATT yet. Long story short, transcript released last week, transcript request completed, registered and paid all fees and provided all documents to the app...

Calm down. Lol! Nursing school is a lot and first semester is about learning how to think differently from what you may be used to doing. NCLEX questions are not the way to go right now, that comes later once you have a bigger picture of the topics...

As a recent graduate of nursing school (Dec. 2015) I'm not far removed from the nervousness of performing tasks in front of instructors who are watching your every move. The key, though, is preparedness. Just about every person who has responded to y...

Sending vibes of good luck to you! You will pass! You will pass! I'm still waiting on my ATT (December graduate), my school is stupid, disorganized, and just stupid. I just want to test before the test plan changes in March. Big sigh...all i can d...

I'm anxious to know how things went...update please! :)

Its neither here nor there at this point, but 75 questions does not mean an automatic pass. I know folks who have failed at that many or just beyond that. Nonetheless, a big old CONGRATULATIONS to you!!!!!!! Good luck in your new career!

Lol! Thanks for making me feel so inadequate! Lol, just kidding. Well, sounds like you are an anomaly, breezing through nursing school, scoring high on predictors, not studying for nclex, drinking before the exam, etc. I'm glad that worked our f...

You sound like me. I did Kaplan throughout nursing school (it was a requirement and part of our grade), I'm doing the Hurst online review now, and I've also been doing the NCLEX Mastery app since my final semester in school. I hope to God these three...

Not true about the school having 10 days...at least not in my state. I graduated December 11, 2015 and just last week the first people are just now getting ATTs. This was a school thing, they didn't even send them out until almost a month post gradua...

This post was super helpful. I graduated nursing school Dec. 11, 2015. Transcript just got released last week (long, drama-filled story). I am in full on prep mode while I wait for my ATT. I'm hoping to test in 3 weeks. We used Kaplan throughout nir...

Good luck to all who will be taking NCLEX real soon. I'm still waiting on my transcript to be sent to the state board but I hope to test by the end of the month. I'm currently finishing up my Kaplan review and will start on Hurst next week.

I'm currently doing Kaplan. I've completed the in-person review course, which was basically 4 days of practice questions, which is easy to lose focus on and zone out sometimes. None the less, practice makes perfect, they say. I've finished all the s...

Be sure you consider the cost of living. I see a lot "don't pay much" comments, well considering all things that low pay may not be so low after all. Sure, if you live in CA you could make great pay, but consider what you pay in rent/mortgage, util...

I'm sorry that you didn't pass the first time. I can't imagine how you must feel. Keep your head up and as was already suggested, see what others have done to fair better the second time. Good luck!

I'm glad I ran across this thread. I just finished nursing school last week (hallelujah!) and start the Kaplan review course next week through my school. I am contemplating doing Hurst as another resource as I have heard that its is great for conten...

Do you have a job lined up yet? I ask because if you can get reimbursed for it, then I would say spend the $300. I just finished nursing school and we take Kaplan throughout the program and as a review course for NCLEX. I have heard that Hurst is ...

I don't understand why it is so difficult for people to offer useful information online instead of pulling out their anonymous claws and ripping people for asking a question. You seriously sound like her preceptor right now.

Are you her preceptor?

How shall I say this...actually, first, I'm not sure what you are getting at by asking "how well it would he gone over..." Also, wherein did you find a compliment in this question? Lol! It's almost as if you feel a type of way about the original que...

Looks like you've been given some good ideas as to how to handle the classmate. It has been shown that study groups kept at a minimal number work better so maybe explain that to her. My class has different pockets of study groups of about 3-4 people...

I am in my last semester, halfway through Advanced Adult Health and my instructor is a butthole. The bad part is we have him for two classes, this one and Research Seminar. He does not teach, is often wrong and is extremely defensive. I am passing hi...

It's good to see all of the positivity regarding night shift. I graduate from nursing school in December and recently accepted an RN position on night shift at a heart hospital. I have previously worked as a tech on night shift and it was okay. I did...

I knew I wanted to be an accountant in high school so I rode that idea all the way through undergrad, even though by my junior year I knew I should have picked nursing. So 17 years, a husband, and three kids later I am into my 4th and final semester ...

My dream unit, right now, is Peds oncology and if I can't have that, anything Peds related. I'm a 4th level nursing student so I'm not sure if that will change after I complete my critical care clinical rotation. I just know that I would rather not d...
