  1. Failed NCLEX for the 3rd time

    Why are you failing? When it's been that long, it might be worth it to do a content review, and to really consider a course and going over your textbooks. You'll really need to know how to...
  2. DON'T overdo it. Also, it's so far away that doing all of the questions now will reduce how much they will help you when you really need them- in December. I started studying content in Feb,...
  3. Kaplan trainer test 6 and 7

    I would just go over the rationales. I kept a notebook nearby and wrote down topics to review (with check boxes), because sometimes, I would just come across something that I really needed to review....
  4. I passed NCLEX at 88 questions

    Congratulations!! I just took mine today, so hopefully, I'll have the same post soon! :) Good luck with the med/surg
  5. rant

    I had to start watching that show for awhile because my mother-in-law was constantly coming to me with claims from the show. Same goes for my weight loss forum. Aaarg!! Yes, the man will endorse...
  6. Who hires Everest Graduates

    I heard a similar story from a friend who attended (the first part of) their massage program at another campus. No instructor several times, curriculum completely changing because of new instructors,...
  7. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    Here's hoping! Not calling anything until it's official.
  8. Which is worse-studying or waiting?

    I totally caved. Good pop up. Still not convinced, but feeling about 5% better. LOL I'm not counting on anything until official results are posted. Kind of glad I'm skeptical, because I really...
  9. Pearson Vue Pop Up Meanings

    I think it's a stretch to say it's 99.9% correct, because at best, even using this informal survey 2014 Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) Poll - View Poll Results , it's only about 90% correct. Like condoms,...
  10. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    OK, I caved, and I got the good pop up, but I'm still not any more reassured than I was. At least I'll know whether or not the PVT worked for me.
  11. Which is worse-studying or waiting?

    Cali is HORRIBLE. It took over a month to get my ATT from when my check was cashed (which was about a month after I mailed it). Check cashed 5/8, ATT arrived 6/13. My classmates are seeing official...
  12. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    Did you officially
  13. Which is worse-studying or waiting?

    OMG, the wait for the ATT was tough, but now having the NCLEX done, waiting for the results is
  14. Has anyone seen this on the BON?

    Congratulations!!!
  15. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    Aw, you're so sweet! I sure hope you're right!
  16. NUTRITION

    The Kaplan Content Review Guide has a whole page/table about special diets for various diagnoses. Did you not have a textbook with
  17. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    I keep debating whether or not to do the trick, as I took mine today as well. I just don't totally trust the trick, and honestly wouldn't trust the results either way! Maybe I should just for the...
  18. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    I finished in about 45 minutes, too. I am now entertaining the idea of the PVT, but I don't trust it. Congrats to
  19. Keep it strictly people who know you professionally. Are you absolutely certain that you need them? I didn't need a single one,
  20. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    I cried a little when I got downstairs and saw my husband. We picked up cheesecake and zinfandel on the way
  21. How did you feel after you took the NCLEX?

    I found myself hoping for more questions, too! I made a decision not to do the PVT (because frankly, I don't trust it), so I just have to wait it out. Of course CA doesn't participate in Quick...
  22. PASSED the NCLEX in 75 questions!

    Thank you for posting this! I just took my NCLEX (sitting in the lobby waiting for my husband to get back from Starbucks), and I feel certain I just failed with 75. I'm glad I'm not the only one...
  23. Pre-rep for nursing

    I would strongly suggest doing your prereqs at a community college and saving your money over SJSU's tuition. Doing your classes at a university won't give you any kind of advantage. To answer your...
  24. Starting accelerated bachelor program

    In general, no, you won't have access to financial aid. That said, I am NOT a financial aid expert in any sense of the word, so I would talk to the financial aid office at your new school. You can...
  25. Diffrence between RN programs in California

    These guys have posted some great info for you. The CSUs, in general, have a good reputation, but yes, they're very difficult to get into. Keep your GPA as high as humanly possible, particularly in...
