Certification Exams .... Harder than NCLEX?
I just took my Pccn test yesterday for the first time, that was really hard I believe NCLEX was easier. I'm gonna study alot more and try to retake it in a couple months. Having said this I feel like taking it online at home didn't help me one bit as I had tech issues and I was stressed out enough as it was. This test has a 67% pass rate, I feel like now that I now more what to study I will pass next time.

I dressed more casually, and I just brought all my confidence into the interview and I just clicked with the manager, and nurses. I wanted the job so I got it.

Hello, I'm an experienced nurse, I am trying to work at a hospital that's closer to my house, I've interviewed at 5 different hospitals and been turned down after feeling like the interview went well. I never got a reason and am just frustrated.

I have 7 years lpn and 4 years rn as well as a bachelors, I don't know what else I can do to prove I'm a good candidate anyone on here have any advice.

I'm a new RN here..
Hello, I was wondering if anyone is certified in oncology or taken the tests to get certified, I just passed my boards and am looking into certifications now. Thanks New RN in Florida
-
Passed my boards!!!
Feeling awesome today found out I passed and am now a RN! My advice is to use as many practice tests as you can, that's what I did and I also bought the book Pearson Reviews and Rationales for NCLEX, don't over think it and do not study the day of or before the test, I played games with my son and stayed relaxed and blew the test away with 76 questions!!!

Taking my nclex in four days..
Thanks, I have some nursing background I worked in hospital for 12 years as a CNA than six years as a LPN, math always kept me from getting my RN, but I found a way around it. I pray that I pass because I need to get this career to support myself and my autistic son, I have literaly been studying since April, I will say a prayer for you if you say one for me.,

Nclex mastery simulation
Yes its only 75 questions, but its set up just like the real deal, no it is just like the real test and you get a score at the end.

Nclex mastery simulation
Hello I just wanted to mention that the NCLEX mastery simulation is something I just found and would like to recommend it to others, its like the real test has the same feel with the timer, I got 75 questions and at the end it tells you your weak areas, Also whether you are beginner,intermediate or advanced. I got advanced and it is made me feel more confident for the real test which I take in 2 weeks. It's only ten bucks so go ahead take it. Good luck to all taking it soon

Getting discouraged..
Okay so my friend just took the NCLEX and failed, she had a lot of cardiac rhythm and medication questions, she said she felt like it was really hard and she is telling me this, I have been studying but now I am feeling unprepared and freaking out. She always did good on tests in class. I have been using Uworld and studying alot, but I fear since it's been so long I wont pass any advice. Scared and getting discouraged in Florida

Taking Nclex three months after graduating!!!
Is anyone else in the same boat as me I graduated April 13th but thanks to Pearson Vue screwing up my last name, causing issues and losing my board approval I got stuck with the end of July, I am trying to get a job which the big hiring starts in August. I am frustrated tired of studying and getting more discouraged because I heard the longer you wait the greater chance you fail? I am doing uworld and I have a 92nd rank, I guess that's good. SATA questions I always miss one and it makes me angry, does anyone else having advice. Thanks Frustrated in Florida

ATT long wait..
Pearson Vue lost my information after getting my last name wrong it took me about five weeks to get it straightened out, it was a disaster good luck.

July Nclex takers
Hello anyone here going to be testing in July, I got the end because I had to wait so long for my Authorization to Test since it was lost or something, anyways I have been studying and reading a book by Pearson Vue and was wondering what everyone else was going to study I have heard U world is great and I was doing pretty good at that. Yep another month but more time to study.

The state lost my application to take the nclex?
My name was spelled wrong on the Pearson Vue website had to call in and get it fixed, I am still waiting for my ATT, It's been a month since I registered this is ridiculous I feel your pain all my classmates are taking or tested already. Hang in there

NCLEX review options
I was doing U world and doing really well, but I felt like I needed to try something else now I am doing Kaplan q bank and getting 40's and 50's which is frustrating me, should i just go back to U world.
-
Frustrated waiting for my sit pass to come!
Thanks, I also find myself getting frustrated with taking kaplan questions from the q bank. I have been studying alot and maybe I just need to give myself a break because I am feeling like i am learning nothing right now and just getting more upset. Also the sit date is to be mailed to my school, so I don't even get to do it myself, so frustrating.

Frustrated waiting for my sit pass to come!
I just want to take my Nclex examination, I went to a private school called Keiser University which was as disorganized as you can get. I am waiting to get my Authorization to test, I submitted my application several weeks ago, how long does it usually take to get a sit pass from pearson vue, I am using Kaplan q bank and the Kaplan book as its been recommended alot. I remember I passed my nclex for pn the first time I really know I can do this I just wanna test already....
