  1. National Nursing Honor Society?

    I just paid $75.00 to renew my membership. I have not worked anywhere that paid me more directly, but it did count toward the clinical ladder, which was more money. If you go into education or...
  2. Just took the NCLEX

    For the PN exam you will get anywhere between 85 and 205 questions. For the RN exam, you will get anywhere between 75 and 265 questions. The number of questions doesn't mean anything and neither...

  4. NCLEX - Psychiatric - Mental Health questions

    The NCLEX exams are no longer separated into Med/Surg, OB, Peds, Psych, etc. like they were prior to 1982. The "psych" type questions now fall under "psychosocial integrity" and make up 8 - 14% of...

  9. More NCLEX Strategies

    I lived in Oxnard when I was a child. My younger sister was born there. I just went back to visit 2 years ago. It is VERY different now! I commute on a train 3 hours each day. I use the time to...
  10. Just Took NCLEX-PN

    Does the 900 number not work for you because you have 900 blocking on your phone? If so, maybe you can have it lifted, if you are anxious to find out your results that way. I don't want to add to...
  11. Need advice badly.

    I agree with daytonite and think you should keep your current job. This job seems to have worked well for you during this phase of your education. I worked as a CNA while I was in nursing school....

  13. NCLEX Date Approaching...

    That was the old test plan, from 2002. The new test plan came out in April 2005. Pharm is now 9-15% for the PN exam, but that is still a small percentage. Also, remember, pharm questions are not...

  18. What's the reason for failing the NCLEX?

    Commuter, you are right about the NCLEX questions. Most of the questions for the exams are written at the application level or higher. There are some that are at the comprehension or knowledge...

  21. Odds of failing NCLEX at 85 ?'s?

    I am one of those people, Balder, and you are right about the pass rates. They are updated quarterly and are public information, and I encourage everyone to peruse the web site for information. Now,...
  22. Odds of failing NCLEX at 85 ?'s?

    No, the number of questions does NOT indicate how well a candidate did on the exam. There is no way, statistically, to infer a pass or fail based solely on the number of questions. The number of...
  23. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    Nah, as much as the schools would like to, they can't look at them. Now, the boards of nursing can look at real exams twice a year. But, as you know, the maximum number of questions they'll be...

    The exam is based on a test plan. There is a certain percentage of questions that are related to pharmacology, a percentage related to psychosocial, etc. All exams, regardless of the number of...
  25. The 95% is not a score. You stop getting questions when the computer is 95% sure that you have reached the passing point. That is pretty standard for testing. The determination for the NCLEX exams...
