  1. Unsure if ready...Advice?

    OneHappyRN replied to murseymurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First of all, my biggest advice with SATA is to not stress them. I know easier said than done and *I* stressed about them. I did the SATA practice test with Kaplan and I think I got a 31% or...

  2. Pt reports pain not being managed to charge RN.

    OneHappyRN replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It looks like I'm in the minority here and now I know why. I specifically remember that question from the prioritization book. It confused me then and it confuses me still.

  3. I'm a Nervous Wreck

    OneHappyRN replied to NurseAlzar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just know that what you are feeling is completely normal. Most people do not feel ready when taking this. My anxiety the night before was through the roof!! I honestly had heart palpitations. lol The...

  4. Pt reports pain not being managed to charge RN.

    OneHappyRN replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Confusing for sure! But, I THINK it's have a conference w/ the nurse. This would help her to see if the patient really has not received the meds and if

  5. What books are really necessary for nursing school?

    OneHappyRN replied to dee789's topic in General Students

    I found that a Nursing Diagnosis book was VERY helpful because at my school each semester I had paperwork to do where I needed access to one. I also used my Fundamentals book for reference as well as...

  6. Starting Nursing School in Fall - Top Tips to Prepare?

    OneHappyRN replied to kros14's topic in General Students

    My biggest advice is don't cram for a test. You will see most of the information over and over through nursing school so you're better off learning it as best you can the first time around. When you...

  7. kaplan - worth it?

    OneHappyRN replied to SN2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Kaplan and definitely think it's worth it. I purchased "On Demand" which gave me access to ALL of the online content teaching videos then the 1300 Question Qbank. I did not watch any of the...

  8. When Should I Start Studying for NCLEX?

    OneHappyRN replied to tbbtpeach's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the other two posters. I wanted to get a jump on studying, but in my last semester, I was too busy with my preceptorship to study. I, too, graduated in May. Studied for 3 weeks, took the...

  9. Kaplan harder than NCLEX? side question, ATI --

    OneHappyRN replied to pikachus's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think that I would probably say that ATI is a LITTLE easier than Kaplan, and Kaplan (to me) was pretty close to the NCLEX. Just remember that MOST people when they take the NCLEX feel like it's...

  10. Kaplan Scores and NCLEX 2014

    OneHappyRN replied to mrsn811's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think those scores look great! I had slightly lower scores and I was able to pass in 75 Qs. I really feel that Kaplan helped. I would try not to stress about SATA. Those were definitely my weak...

  11. Coping and strategies after failing

    OneHappyRN replied to birddoghound's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's so hard to watch our loved ones struggle - especially our children. I can only imagine how disappointed she is, but hopefully she see that this is just a setback. She can study and take it again...

  12. Testing SOON! Question.....

    OneHappyRN replied to Nurse2beMN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry Nurse2beMN, I just saw this. I think there are 1,300 Qs if you order just the Qbank and it costs

  13. Testing SOON! Question.....

    OneHappyRN replied to Nurse2beMN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wouldn't want to give you advice and say "don't buy it" and then you don't pass the NCLEX, you know? But I'll just say this. Your anxiety as the test comes closer is normal, feeling unprepared and...

  14. Study NCLEX Now or Later?

    OneHappyRN replied to phiaflyy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I, too, am in agreement. I didn't even think about the NCLEX until my last semester. During that semester I was only taking 2 classes and found I had extra time, so I would study occasionally, but...

  15. Preparing for NCLEX-RN

    OneHappyRN replied to kawaiibows's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Kaplan. I did the Qbanks and most of the trainers. I would do around 50-75 questions three times a day - that is what a Kaplan instructor suggested. They have "test mode" where you do all of...

  16. SATA

    OneHappyRN replied to khaleesi123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was AWFUL at SATA. I did the Kaplan SATA test and I think I got in the 30s. It stressed me out so bad. On the NCLEX I got around 20-30 SATA and it gave me heart palpitations. lol I took it one...

  17. Another Kaplan Question

    OneHappyRN replied to Nonetheless's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Three weeks is a lot of time. My scores weren't that great (mid to high 50s - then some low 60s) I just did question after question. I would always do the tutor mode so I could see my wrong answers...

  18. The nerves of NCLEX

    OneHappyRN replied to ym0610's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I completely agree w/ RN403 - the day before and of the exam don't study. At that point you either know it or you don't and nothing will help you that late in the game. Your scores show that you ARE...

  19. Need Help. What review materials should I use for Passing my NCLEX?

    OneHappyRN replied to Kathrene,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used their online QBank. I actually ordered Kaplan ON Demand which gave me access to hours and hours of content videos, but I ended up not watching those, I just did the questions, trainers and...

  20. Need Help. What review materials should I use for Passing my NCLEX?

    OneHappyRN replied to Kathrene,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan questions over and over...and over. Once I got over 60%, I figured I was ready. I passed in 75 Qs. The Kaplan Qbank test score is really pretty accurate in determining if you're ready or...

  21. Pvt good popup? Or nah?

    OneHappyRN replied to MsRnStatus's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It appears to be the "good" pop up. The consensus is that THAT is the pop up you get when you pass. Of course you'll have to wait to be sure, but most people pass who get that pop up. You will...

  22. Just took NCLEX for the first time!

    OneHappyRN replied to RN-JEN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Exactly! Just wait and see. Don't get upset yet. While there ARE a few instances that the PVT doesn't work, you can look at the poll and see that it is does work most of the time. Hang in

  23. Am I crazy to be taking the NCLEX?

    OneHappyRN replied to vivacious's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes! Let us know! The last couple of days I just did a bunch of questions (not trainers) because I wanted to see the rationale after each question I answered. The night before and the morning of, I...

  24. Am I crazy to be taking the NCLEX?

    OneHappyRN replied to vivacious's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Vivacious, it shut off in 75 Qs.

  25. Am I crazy to be taking the NCLEX?

    OneHappyRN replied to vivacious's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did not have the stresses that you have with moving and starting a new job, but I felt in my gut I should just take the test sooner rather than later. My scores were "ok" - yours are much better. I...
