    Nclex in 7 days

    nope, if you let yourself focus on those feelings thats exactly how you'll enter the test. Relax the day before, schedule your test at a time that works best for you. Focus on staying calm, collected...

    Suggestion review material for NCLEX Rn

    not sure of the questions by hurst. I favored kaplan because their content was concise and the questions simulated what i had on nclex the first time. Good

    im in Norcal and took my test on Oct 3 with the good popup, they're still updating everything from Pearson during that 6 day upgrade so it'll be a while i checked breeze right now and its down till 9...

    Suggestion review material for NCLEX Rn

    i thought kaplan was the better of the 3, i tried NCSBN but it wasn't helpful, their diagnostic test was virtually useless as it didn't tell you where to focus, and the questions were a joke and no...

    How do i know that i pass NCLEX, CA

    no, they are upgrading the software and it will take a while until it's updated. Anybody who took the test in Ca between oct 3 and oct 9 can expect a delay. I took mine on Oct 3 as well, and am still...

    There have been instances I've heard of where people get to the cc page but pass, just wait for the official results in the

    Ca BRN Website License check?

    That's what I meant by their system going down, they're unaffected by the government shutdown, the brn is simply upgrading their software for license verification. I called the ca BRN today, they...

    the BRN registries are updated at midnight, if you're in Cali and took it oct 3 till present it may not show for a while, i called them and they're still transitioning to the new license

    Is NCLEX POP up for good

    I've heard of people not getting the pop-up but passing, getting the pop-up and passing, but have not heard of somebody getting the pop-up and failing...if that makes sense to you and calms your...

    To study or not to study????

    I agree with Shan, one step at a time, focus on graduating, but maybe during Winter break you can start reviewing Saunders and do Kaplan Qbanks. NCLEX is NOT a test that is based on your ability to...

    failed nclex 2x now taking kaplan

    Use those trainers to find out what content areas you're weak in, be it endocrine, cardiac, neuro, etc. Your scores are right on the mark, but any topic area like endocrine or OB that is below 60 you...

    Failed NCLEX with Kaplan..bummed

    I failed the first time with Kaplan, but I figured out what was wrong, and during that wait period of getting my results i previewed Hurst and signed up for NCSBN, they were not good; NCSBN was purely...
  22. hey we're all in the same boat! congrats everybody, But as of Oct 3 the CA BON's permanent license verification is down and won't be updated until Oct 9. Until then, i keep checking to make sure i...

    Test shutting off at 75 questions... pass or fail?

    It's ok Dajugama! it happens to many people, you're not alone. When I took nclex for the first time i didn't pass either. BUT, my suggestion is take a few days off, rest, recollect yourself, and wait...

    Below passing in pharmacology on Nclex...now what

    Nerves were the reason i failed the first time i took it, it really distracts you from being able to focus. For me, the best way to study them was by drug class, just know the expected outcomes for...

    Don't let this get to you! You've made it past nursing school, you graduated, this is the LAST hurdle to get over! and honestly it's a very odd one at that. Maybe you tried using too many sources and...
