Hi! I've just passed NCLEX a couple days ago with 75 questions and let me tell you I was averaging the exact same thing on Kaplan! The best advice I got was to not focus on the scores, the key is writing down the rationales and as long as you're learning, you do fine my friend! You've done a lot of studying it seems and trust me after doing uWorld, those questions are going to seem so easy! You got it! GOOD LUCK!!! :)

Hi! I'm sorry you went through that it is ok though because you will pass! Ok so I actually took my exam the same day you did lol I passed in 75 questions so let me tell you what I did. I did Kaplan, Hurst, & uWorld that's it! I knew content was my weak point when I started studying for NCLEX so I looked at the Hurst videos I had. They are great and the videos go right along with the book. You get a book of notes that is partially filled out but there are missing spaces that when you watch the videos the people have the same book so you fill in the blanks as they speak! It's condensed in a way that for every system you should be able to answer questions on them; I highly recommend it. uWorld rationales are amazing and much harder that NCLEX questions (I thought I had failed because everything was so easy to me lol). I say check out Hurst and see if it is for you. My school made us do ATI during school but I never went back to it after I graduated so I can't help you there, sorry! Get your anxiety under control, which it sounds like you are, and you'll do great! GOOD LUCK!!!:)

Dang, that kind of sucks because I've done all the work just never got paid for it. I guess I might have to ask my friends what agencies are they apart of. People have told me thats how they got into a hospital.

I haven't been able to get a job as a CNA yet (because of school mainly) but now I'm getting to the point where I need a job asap. I've had endless clinicals on the medsurg floor and in long-term care facilities (I have only 3 semesters left in nursing school, so its been alot). I'm a fast learner and I know all the skills only thing they would need to teach me is how their system works, that's it. I dont really mind it being PRN, I'm still in school so that works fine for me, I just need it to be part-time hours while im in school but when im on break i can pick up hella hours.

Hi everybody! I'm in nursing school but I need a job! I have my CNA license and I would love to work as a CNA in a hospital but it has been extremely hard to get in there. At this point I'm desperate for a job in any facility. I'm currently looking for staffing agencies that will help with my job search but I don't know of any. I've searched on google but I don't know which one is a good one. If anyone knows of any good staffing agencies for CNA's I would greatly appreciate your recommendation.
