1. Assessing Readiness for the NCLEX

   afowler77 replied to afowler77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I passed in 75 questions! I wouldn't say it was easy, but it wasn't intimidating. I think it was a combination of Kaplan and the quality of education I received. My school puts a lot of effort into...

2. Assessing Readiness for the NCLEX

   afowler77 replied to afowler77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Haha, I don't know if "prepare" is the right word, since I don't feel prepared! I used Saunders and NCLEX Mastery (casually) and Kaplan was my main study platform. I started studying about 3 weeks...

3. New nursing student in desperate need for a study plan

   afowler77 replied to Amber20194's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

   First of all, it is 100% completely normal to feel like you are behind and overwhelmed, even right in the beginning. I felt the same way in the beginning. One of the senior students took the time to...

   afowler77 replied to Jenni RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   THANK YOU so much for sharing your experience in such detail! I am scheduled to take my NCLEX on Tuesday afternoon, and I am so scared. I am having anxiety attacks. My Kaplan scores have been good....

5. Assessing Readiness for the NCLEX

   afowler77 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I am scheduled to take my NCLEX-RN in less than 48 hours. I was wondering how you determined your readiness to take the test. I understand that it is common to panic and feel like you aren't ready,...

   afowler77 replied to MiMi3's topic in Maryland Nursing

   I'm not entirely certain that calls are made in alphabetical order. Last fall, I was a full "admit institution," my last name begins with F, and I got my notification almost two weeks after they...

   "Mini-vacation"?!?! Oh littlemango, you ARE optimistic! I spent 5 hours at school today working with my group on our presentation for our Research class! I *did* take a nap this afternoon. A LOT of...

    Katiep_123- my call from UMSON came about 2 days before my deposit was due at Towson! I still lost out on my deposit to TU's nursing program, but at least I was spared paying the University

    It can take a while to get "The Call." Last fall, others began receiving notifications, be it accepted, rejected, or waitlisted. A week into it, I still had heard noting. I think it took at least a...

    Congratulations, emilykwas! Yes, "provisional admit" means that you need to submit your final grades for the semester before your status can change to "admit institution." For any of you provisional...

    For those of you who got accepted to Towson, I was wondering what you meant by "Does it apply to us?" The way it works with Towson, is you apply to the SON and the University, you need to be accepted...

14. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    afowler77 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Student here. Not getting involved in the debate, but I do have a funny anecdote. Before nursing school, I worked in retail. One of the things that sealed the deal for me when deciding to pursue a...

    Congratulations to all those who have been accepted! Provisional admits- just remember that, in order to make it to "admit institution" you need to pass your classes with an A or a B. Stay focused on...
