   I got my ADN for RN program in 12/2013. I failed the NCLEX more than once. I was offered to take the PN and I'm awaiting to hear on that, and I feel it is worth a shot. Not that it's "easier" etc. but my BON was very supportive in helping me figure o...

4. Facts about answering 265 Q's

5. Facts about answering 265 Q's

   SteveVBall05 replied to SteveVBall05's topic in NCLEX

   SteveVBall05 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Okay so I feel like I need to set the record straight with getting all 265 NCLEX-RN Q's, and a few other things lol. You can Pass and Fail at 265. Let's look at Q#262 for example. If that question is just below or close to the passing line and 263,...

    Hi, Im new to this but can share a relateable story. I dont think youre working too much. 1 day/week if that can keep you and your child above water, as a CNA (as I am one and underpaid) than more to you. Try to get any anxiety down. I almost failed ...
