  1. How on earth do you pay for NYU's ABSN program?

    kimmy20 replied to nyc1990's topic in School, College Programs

    From my knowledge (and correct me if I'm wrong), once you obtain a degree like a bachelor's in another major you are no longer qualified for FAFSA or if you are you would get little to no financial...

  2. Took 265 Questions - NCLEX RN

    kimmy20 replied to katrn2324's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also went up to 265...twice actually! First time I failed with 265 and second time I passed with 265. I thought that since I got 265 again that I failed again for sure...like every bone in my body...

  3. Doing bad in nursing school?

    kimmy20 replied to studentnurse245's topic in General Students

    I know exactly how you feel. When I took prereqs during my undergrad I always got straight A's. After getting into my dream nursing school I didn't think it was going to be that hard and boy I was...

  4. Failed by less than a point

    kimmy20 replied to skazen's topic in General Students

    Sorry to hear that but this could be a great motivation for you. In my first semester of nursing school I BARELY passed my pharmacology class. I think I was literally at the cutoff for a passing...

  5. I need advice from newly licensed grads!

    kimmy20 replied to klv5088's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First of all...congrats on almost finishing! Your last semester is going to go by really fast! If your school offers NCLEX prep sessions take advantage of that! My school had an optional class for...

  6. nclex prep

    kimmy20 replied to Poonamkc's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Kaplan and Hurst but I found the content portion of Kaplan to be quite bland and boring. I couldn't really get the info to stick in my head...So I tried Hurst and loved it! The way they explain...

  7. nclex prep

    kimmy20 replied to Poonamkc's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it depends on the person and what normally works for them. I found that for me writing down notes while listening to content was the best method to remembering information. Reading content...

  8. NCBSN prorgam any idea?

    kimmy20 replied to hm1987's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know about you but I used both Hurst and Kaplan as well and when I took my exam the second time I felt like the questions weren't reflective of what I practiced at all. I think with Kaplan's...

  9. NCLEX-2014!

    kimmy20 replied to Sherry29's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a very similar experience as yours! I failed my first exam at 265 questions with a ton of SATA. I took my second exam about a month ago and got 265 again! But this time I had only about 14 SATA...

  10. NCLEX-RN Which books to use?

    kimmy20 replied to EMT6530's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    LaCharity Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment book is highly praised here and personally very helpful for

  11. Debunking the SATA Myth.

    kimmy20 replied to cp1024's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My experience is similar to yours! Except I went up to 265 questions with only about 14 SATA from what I remember. I had a ton of priority questions and I agree with you that they were a lot harder...

  12. anything you can offer

    kimmy20 replied to laughlove's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry to hear that wttw. I too, was a retaker. Based off your CPR, if you have more than one below passing maybe you should review content again. It seems like you had a lot of resources you were...

  13. 2014 NCLEX 265questions "good pop-up" and passed

    kimmy20 replied to haveFAITHuGOTthis's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just randomly stumbled on this post after I took the NCLEX recently because I reached 265 as well. A late congrats to you for passing at 265! It's very nerve-wrecking to go all the way to the end...

  14. I finally passed NCLEX!

    kimmy20 replied to katie6126's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! I know how you feel! I also failed at 265 the first time and passed the next time with 265. I thought I failed for sure because it didn't feel like I improved but I did!

  15. NCLEX the amount of questions doesnt matter.

    kimmy20 replied to smc22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I completely agree with you! The first time I failed with 265. The second I passed with 265! I also feel like a lot of people freak out over how many SATA and priority questions they have but the...

  16. Taking NCLEX RN for 3rd time

    kimmy20 replied to Jwestpvamu's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly for me the NCLEX questions is nothing compared to the practice questions from Hurst and Kaplan. I scored between 62%-75% on the qtrainers and from what others say, it's a really good score...

  17. Kaplan RN Diagnostic Test

    kimmy20 replied to hm1987's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The first time I got 45% on my diagnostics and failed at my first attempt. Second attempt I used Hurst and got a 60% on my diagnostics! Hurst really helped me improve my scores the second time around...

  18. feel really discouraged

    kimmy20 replied to Firecrackertx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First time I studied with just Kaplan and did the qtrainers and qbank, so essentially I only did practice questions and reading the rationales. That was my mistake because I didn't study content at...

  19. NCLEX-RN Repeat test takers (2014)

    kimmy20 replied to turtlelover's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my exam on November 19 as well and went all the way to 265! I was so sure I failed and I was starting to prepare myself to study again but I checked my results 2 days later and I passed! :)...
