Thank you so much for kind words!! I hear you on getting your content down-that was my main focus!! I honestly think content is the most important part- no amount of strategies will help unless you...
Thank you so much!! I took mine in Arkansas and waiting four days was agonizing so I can’t even imagine waiting any longer! Why do they do this to us lol!!! Hang in there- waiting is nerve wrackin...
You are absolutely welcome! I used this website for support all the way through nursing school and NCLEX- I’m so thankful we have a place to come together and offer support and encouragement!! May...
Heck yes I believe in the PVT! I tested on Saturday and got the good popup later that afternoon! My state doesn't participate in quick results so I was praying that PVT was accurate. I was so afraid...
I echo Nikkinism70's advice- don't do anything the day before except maybe a quick glance at labs. I didn't do anything the day before but did a few questions the morning of just to warm my brain up....
The COPD question is a tricky one- but here’s my take. COPD, of course is a pulmonary disease characterized by airway collapse (among other things). In order to maintain adequate ventilation and gas...
Sounds like you could benefit from a good content review- with that, I highly recommend Hurst! They review the ‘need to know’ core content for each body system. The great thing about Hurst is...
I hear ya!! I wish I would have realized that earlier.I went a little crazy with resources when I started (I was feeling ambitious)- my God it was out of control!! I was overloaded, overwhelmed,...
I haven't tested yet, but I am doing the Hurst review and can't say enough good things about it. If you feel you need a content refresher I would recommend Hurst, if you need strategies and critical...
I haven't taken my test yet- but from the hundreds of posts I've read, everyone says Kaplan's questions most resemble NCLEX. If you troll the internet you can find the Kaplan trainers or buy the...
I'm fairly new to AN and have yet to figure out the odds and ends, so please forgive me for posting on a 2 year old thread- but I just feel the need to thank you! Thank you so much for your words and...
I know! I was left with the first week of February or the first week of March- I am not anywhere near prepared to take that test next week, so March it is. I'm scared too- really, really scared. But...
Yep I am right there with you! All of my paperwork was turned in by December 16. I am trying very hard not to call them but it's getting hard. I incessantly check the website 15-20 times a day- it...
Are you studying the book or are you listening to the audio more than once? I print off the worksheets and do them as I watch the lectures. If I’m not clear on something I will supplement with...
I know this is way late, but I just ran across your post and wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I am so relieved to hear that I am NOT the only one who is filled with self doubt. To be...
I'm such a baby and way, WAY to sentimental..but your post made me cry. As I finish up my last full week of NS and near pinning, I can't help but think back on this crazy journey- and everything you...
Each semester will be difficult for a reason unique to that specific semester. The first semester is difficult due to the 'culture shock' that is nursing school- it's like stepping into a tornado....
Alright nurses, I need your thoughts! I am currently in my last semester and will graduate in a few months- I am panicking! I absolutely DO NOT feel ready or competent enough to leave the cocoon of...
