  1. Test Shut off at 75 and I know I failed

    jinki replied to GigglyStyle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    People have shared stories of passing the NCLEX with very few SATAs as well as failing with lots of SATAs. Some of my SATAs kept asking about pretty basic infection control stuff. It did worry me that...

  2. What is a good quality stethoscope?!

    jinki replied to wedyer92's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In nursing school, we were required to use an MDF MD One (~$60). During my last semester, I was able to detect an S3 heart sound that has never been documented on a patient. Much earlier in my...

  3. Test Shut off at 75 and I know I failed

    jinki replied to GigglyStyle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed at 75 questions. I had 0 answers I was 100% sure about. My last question was ridiculously easy (yet, I was just about....80% sure about it), and that kept haunting me-- did the CAT really...

  4. How to Get a 4.0 In Nursing School (The Easy Way)

    jinki replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    If you really want a 4.0, make sure you go to a school and choose instructors that make a 4.0 even feasible. I got a high B for my intermediate med-surg class. According to my instructor,...

  5. Advice for the new hire (hint: don't show your faults for awhile 😇)

    jinki replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks to OP and the other nurses chiming on this thread! Other than attitude and personality issues, are there common mistakes or annoyances newbies make? It doesn't necessarily have to be strictly...

  6. Words You Hate

    jinki replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    New grad. Just realized I've been saying clo-pid-ro-gel instead clo-pi-dog-rel. My BF, also a new grad RN, jokingly calls me a know-it-all when I correct his pronunciation, but I would have REALLY...

  7. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    jinki replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    I graduated last June (in case anyone thinks I went to a nursing school in the 60's), but we weren't even allowed to attend lecture (or enter the nursing building) if we weren't wearing our specific...

  8. Breeze account pending?

    jinki replied to ScaredpotentialNURSE's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Once you log in to your BreEZE account, the left column should have at least these two headers: License Activities, Applications. Under or after Applications, there should be a header labeled "View...

  9. pearsonvue trick

    jinki replied to bobop's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The good pop up will say "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time." If you see "The candidate currently has an open...

  10. CA BRN No NCLEX Result

    jinki replied to xrnx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That he got the bad pop-up isn't very reassuring. but people have reported passing despite getting the bad pop-up (given, some people have the wrong idea of a bad pop-up is). If he logs in to his...

  11. NCLEX help

    jinki replied to bunnylovinggrl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't take the NCLEX-RN until 8 months after graduation. I studied using UWorld for 2.5 weeks, and I passed with 75Q. It took a half a week of warming up to shake the cobwebs off my brain, but...

  12. U world

    jinki replied to catmom713's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    About the same. I found that UWorld's prioritization questions are bit more obvious than NCLEX prioritization questions, though. Adding another data point to devhrt12's post, I had UWorld average of...

  13. Waiting for my Att number

    jinki replied to marcuchos08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If your ATT does arrive on March 7th, you might be able to schedule an exam for as early as March 8th (when my s/o and I registered for the NCLEX months apart from each other, the next day was always...

  14. Suggestions for Passing NCLEX-RN

    jinki replied to RNsoon2b.'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You should have received two copies of your Candidate Performance Report, one for each time you missed the passing mark. Those reports will tell you specifically which areas you are below or near the...

  15. Has anyone used UWorld to study for NCLEX?

    jinki replied to Lupe Sanchez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wouldn't put too much stock on the % correct rate for each individual item. I got "easy" questions wrong about as often as I'd get the "hard" ones right, and usually, how hard or easy a question is...

  16. Has anyone used UWorld to study for NCLEX?

    jinki replied to Lupe Sanchez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I studied using only UWorld (67% average, all questions answered) and a bit of LaCharity, and I passed with 75 Qs. I did Kaplan Trainers 5 and 6 just to check where I stand a couple days before the...

  17. CA BRN No NCLEX Result

    jinki replied to xrnx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, xrnx, this is not the most reassuring news, but literally a couple minutes ago, my application status disappeared on my BreEZe account (took it 2/22), and the upper right screen populated with my...

  18. CA BRN No NCLEX Result

    jinki replied to xrnx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That assertion (if application is deleted, and no license on BreEZe shows up, it means a person has failed) does make sense to me (if they're just waiting for something-- anything-- to issue a...

  19. Still waiting on ATT-- California

    jinki replied to L&D4Lyfe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you send a check along with your application? If the check has been cashed, you can rest assured that your paperwork is in the CA BRN's hands. (They're pretty quick at cashing checks, if I recall...

  20. CA BRN No NCLEX Result

    jinki replied to xrnx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How long do you wait to get the results? Until it shows up, really. If you don't see a license when you search your name through BreEZe, and your application status (once you've logged in to your...

  21. Still waiting on ATT-- California

    jinki replied to L&D4Lyfe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have you gone to the Pearson VUE website, registered and paid the $200 fee? You won't get your ATT unless you do that first. You can click on this link to register and pay the fee if you haven't yet....

  22. My nclex shut off 160ish :'(

    jinki replied to TRVL.RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This must be a stressful time for you! The good pop-up is a good sign-- some have reported getting the bad pop-up even though they ended up passing, but I'm not sure I've heard of anyone who got the...

  23. understanding words the nclex asks you

    jinki replied to vickyextras's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    EDIT: I just noticed that you're taking the NCLEX-PN rather than the NCLEX-RN. The examples I'll be giving are most likely out of your scope of practice, but I think it might still be helpful-- if not...

  24. Question "FOLLOW-UP"

    jinki replied to angel_20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry, I commented on the wrong

  25. Anxiety for upcoming NCLEX

    jinki replied to SolsticeRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What was your UWorld average? I'm taking the NCLEX in 11 days, and I hope the three of us pass
