Hi, I'm new here and I just wanna say thank you to the people who made this site and those who participated in it. I bet there are a lot of people who is lost and found the answers they were looking for here. I did a lot of searching and found some c...

Alright, I'm studying to take the NCLEX in 44 days. I registered for Kaplan review because of the awesome reviews I heard about them. While taking their Qbank tests, I noticed several answers that I think were not the correct ones. I haven't practice...

Thank you for confirming that.. I was reading everyone's reply and it seems like they ASSUME the nurse is performing the insertion because it would make sense to just get a fresh new equipment rather than informing someone who wasn't even there to no...

I think I finally understand now. Can you clarify something for me, the nurse is the one performing the insertion of the cath or is that procedure done only by a physician?

You're letting the strategies do the thinking for you... Read what the question properly so you will have a good picture of the situation. The question says the nurse is ASSISTING... Are you saying what's best for the patient is to go ahead and prep ...

The reason why I knew it was assisting is because the choice stated NOTIFY the physician of the occurrence. If the choice is worded CALL the physician of the occurrence then obviously the physician is no where near you then yes I would understand why...

Thank you for the tip.. I'm just so frustrated because I graduated 3 years ago and now I'm trying to take the Boards. I know, Bad move on my part... It's just that I am trying to train my thinking to answer each question correctly but it seems like t...

In reference to Ozzy84, I would clearly choose the correct answer instead of my choice based on your situation where I am the one performing the insertion but that is creating a whole entirely different situation. In the question, it states the nurse...

I did read that on the tips on taking the exam. I tried to see the question the way it is. One thing I notice is if the choices have it then therefore it isn't implied. So going back to the question, one of the choices was to inform the physician. Th...

Hello, I am planning to go for Kaplan but they have 3 options. A class, a webcam of the class and just unlimited videos and study materials. I haven't practiced nursing in 3 years.. I know, long story.. So which do you think would be best in my posit...

You have a very inspiring story. I will read back to this post whenever I feel down or stressed up thank you.. I'll definitely keep trying.. Definitely, I'll update here and let you know what's going on and what's happened.. Congratulations by the wa...

Thank you so much for posting your status. I could say it's very helpful. I'm applying in WA state and I think they're the same as TX. I already sent my transcripts so hopefully it's all credited.. I also admire your optimism.. I can't imagine how m...

Yes I wished I applied before they changed it..

Thank you.. We do have our own way in seeing challenges.. I'll let you know.

No I'm not.. If I start assuming what your saying is the only way and I follow it then all hope is lost. Tell me, would you say confidently that anyone who doesn't have what you mentioned and yet still tried, that they all failed? If yes then it is p...

That makes sense. I understand.. So all I have to do, is look for a state that accepts my requirements then find a hospital that accepts me to work there and live in that state.. Thanks Silverdragon102.. I'll let you know what happens..

Question.... Not to seem blunt but everybody is making it sound like there's no hope if you haven't taken the nursing exam in the Philippines.. Is that really the case?

I know exactly how you feel. The fees are crazy. Yeah I just figured that out too. Have you considered asking legal help? Maybe an immigration lawyer would better know how to help?

Lol. I just visited the site and it does state in red bold letters. I guess Indiana is out..

Hmm.. My cousin also told me that they do require it bit I'll still check it anyway. Thank you..

Hey no worries.. You're helping me a lot anyway.. You're right, I do read a lot about people saying that you should apply to the state where you want to plant your roots.. Honestly I want to live and work in Washington, however i checked the requir...

Steppybay, I just want make sure I understand.. Are you referring to me? Coz I'm not from California, I'm currently living in Washington state and also I'm a dude. Haha. Anyway, if I'm not from CA can I then apply in new new york, texas or Virginia?...

Really?? Let me look into the requirements. Thank you for your information..

Hello sbsurfer-rn.. How are you doing? I posted my own thread someone posted a link to your thread. I guess we have the same situation but your ahead in a way that you already took the nclex and I'm still finding a way to take it.. I wanted to PM you...
