  1. Can anyone verify Pearson Vue "trick" April/May 2013?

    RN59217 replied to BridgetE89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX on Jan 15. Was done in 75 questions. 10 minutes later I checked for the PVT and got the good pop up. Still didn't believe it though. Jan 16: my name came up on my state BON's website...

  2. Kaplan Question

    RN59217 replied to Jessicaheath13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah pharm was a weak area for me too. But I heard they decreased the # of pharm questions. Honestly, I didn't worry about it much. Know the classifications and major meds. I got one classification...

  4. Which one is difficult????

    RN59217 replied to ssk5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hard to answer that question 'cause everyone gets a different test. Some people from my class did minimal preparation. They walked in, took the test and passed. They stated later that their questions...

  5. Kaplan Question

    RN59217 replied to Jessicaheath13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I looked stuff up if I didn't know it. You can't sit there and list off topics that you don't know about. You find out that you don't know it when you can't answer questions on the topic. I follow...

  6. Has anyone gotten the good pop up and passed?

    RN59217 replied to briseydaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It worked for me. I took it on the 15th. Got the good pop up about 10 minutes after I left the test center. The next day, my state issued my license #. Then Friday I got my Quick Results. Does the...

  7. How to answer Priority Questions on the NCLEX?

    RN59217 replied to RNfindingherway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The only* time potential problems are worse than an actual problem is with psych. If the patient threatens to kill themself or hurt someone else, that's usually the priority. Suicide = no more...

  8. How to answer Priority Questions on the NCLEX?

    RN59217 replied to RNfindingherway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with this. There were a lot of times where I had to evaluate if something was an expected outcome vs an unexpected outcome. If it's an unexpected outcome, that needs to be addressed. A hip...

  9. Nclex 2/14 Help Studying!

    RN59217 replied to dianekejbou's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. A lot of my questions were frank content. I don't honestly know how much Kaplan helped cause I didn't get a ton of priority questions. That said, it was worth it to take Kaplan due to the...

  10. Kaplan Question

    RN59217 replied to Jessicaheath13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took Kaplan as well. Got upper 50s in the beginning, 60s in the middle of the course and 70s by the end. I got a 78 on QT7. My NCLEX shut off at 75q and I passed. You sound like you're doing fine....

  11. Has anyone tried the pearson view trick in the past 10 months?

    RN59217 replied to briseydaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  13. Reviewing for NCLEX with an 18 month old

    RN59217 replied to Mrsmay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also used my Saunders book a little. Did the Comprehensive Test in the back and read some content topics. But pretty much I relied on Kaplan... and my drug

  14. Passed boards whoo hooo

    RN59217 replied to misscrystal's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! I took the NCLEX-RN on Wednesday. Did the PVT right away and got the good pop up. My state issued my license # yesterday so I found out for sure that I passed then! It was a phenomenal...

  15. Taking NCLEX Jan 31st! Kaplan scores.

    RN59217 replied to isharRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do QT 7 (It's 265 q long) and make sure all your videos are watched so that you are all set for your guarantee and you'll be good. I did the full Kaplan course and passed in 75 q this week. Honestly,...

  16. Kaplan decision tree

    RN59217 replied to AngelofSeduction's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lastly, if you just started Kaplan, don't worry... you have PLENTY of time to master the decision tree. Are you doing it online? I did On-Demand, which is the full course online. You'll have plenty of...

  17. Kaplan decision tree

    RN59217 replied to AngelofSeduction's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I found that the main part of the "Decision Tree" that I used was "does this make sense?" and "ask yourself why you would do this," "what will the outcome be." First example off the top of my head is...

  18. Kaplan decision tree

    RN59217 replied to AngelofSeduction's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly, I didn't find that any of the NCLEX questions "hid" the topic of the question like Kaplan says they do. That said, when there are a lot of "negatives" in the wording, it is helpful sometimes...

  19. study checklist for passing NCLEX-RN

    RN59217 replied to RNmeee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What company says that? It depends on the question stem. Does the question stem say that you have a LPN AND a float RN? From what I've seen, it's been either/or. If the question stem says that you...

  20. study checklist for passing NCLEX-RN

    RN59217 replied to RNmeee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You essentially delegate to a float RN the same that you would to an LPN. A patient who is expected to have a stable outcome. The rationale is that a nurse from a different unit may be unfamiliar with...

  21. Which stethoscope do you like?

    RN59217 replied to ElanaJ's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have friends that have a $50 Littmann Select and I have not found any amazing difference between my more costly model than theirs. -- I've had the opposite experience. A lot of my fellow students...

  22. Which stethoscope do you like?

    RN59217 replied to ElanaJ's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Buy the stethoscope from Allheart.com, you'll save a lot of money. I have the Littmann Master Classic II, which is nice 'cause you don't have to flip around the bell or diaphragm, you just push on the...

  24. Took the NCLEX-RN today

    RN59217 replied to RN59217's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! I am still waiting for my Quick Results. I want to see the word "pass"! I know it doesn't get much more official than getting a license # but still... Check your state BON's website. Mine...

  25. Reviewing for NCLEX with an 18 month old

    RN59217 replied to Mrsmay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan On Demand too. I sent my 11 month old to the babysitter's while my husband was at work. It's just too hard to study while the kids are home. I studied during the time while my son was out...
