I took the NCLEX-RN exam for the first time on Thursday, April 10th at 8am. I arrived at the testing site an hr early just so i could avoid any unfortunate mishaps, ate breakfast at a cafe with my mom and aunt across the street from the testing site,...

Man, this place sounds like hell and a dangerous place to work. I say leave as soon as you can, this environment will bring out the worst in you.

Hi jtun3d, i suggest you wait until you can view your quick results before assuming anything. Lots of people including myself, felt like they failed, and some even received the "bad pop up" and still ended up passing. If you do unfortunately fail, le...

Is there even HALF of a slither of hope that I'll be able to get a job as a new graduate? I graduated with my BSN in December 2013, just passed the NCLEX last week. I have no hospital or volunteer experience, which I'm now hearing that employers don'...

*** just for clarification, even those with volunteer and work experience are still not being hired.

"Fear and faith have something in common, they both ask us to believe in something we cannot see. I implore you to choose faith over fear!" AMEN!!!! Everyone who is taking the exam tomorrow, next week, 3 months from now, whenever! Needs to understand...

Thanks Angel!!! Congrats to you as well!!!!!

I used Kaplan and ill admit if i wasn't fresh out of nursing school i wouldn't use it because it lacks content compared to others. It is really good for test taking strategies though. PDA is a MUST! Please use it in addition to whatever you choose.

Aww thank you! I'm sure you will pass as well!!! Its only a matter of time! :)

Don't get too caught up with scores just make sure you understand all the rationales. I will say however, if you get 60 and above on kaplan then you're right where you need to be. Diagnostic- 51.7% Readiness- 57.8% I took the diagnostic, readiness, ...

Hi guys, I sit for my boards on April 10th, about 3 weeks from now. I've been studying for about 2.5 months and I'm using the Kaplan review course, Lacharity, and NCLEX 3500 to prepare. Even after all this studying I feel like I'll never be ready. Di...

I literally just logged on to pearsonvue to see what other dates are available at my testing site and they are all booked! i guess that's a sign since i already changed the date twice lol. How has your studying been going? If you are getting high sc...

Seems like your on track!! What materials did you use to study EKG rhythms? Kaplan literally had only one EKG rhythm question in the qbank.

Hi guys after 2.5 months of studying I'm gonna face the beast on April 10th!! Wish me luck!!! I wrote every rationale Kaplan has to offer and I've been reviewing them daily! hopefully all this pays off and my name appears on the New York State BON!!!...
