  1. 6 years of med surg, transferring to OR. I am told to prepare for the worst. It's really affecting my anxiety. Any tips?

    fustudent610 replied to Dkmn85's topic in Operating Room

    I mean, yeah, definitely prepare for the worst and be on guard. We've been yelled at by management, I got yelled at by my preceptor only once for making the same mistake over and over. Then 5 minutes...

  2. Passed NCLEX - Kaplan Scores at the End.

    fustudent610 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Kaplan to study for the NCLEX immediately after graduation. I was originally going to go with UWorld but there was an information session held by Kaplan and I was sold. I was drawn to the live...

  3. Did I fail NCLEX????!!!

    fustudent610 replied to sara_5457's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you want to be wrong, that's fine. But at least don't insist on spreading myths. See, it actually was confirmed by the BON that SATA is only a format and means nothing regarding the level of...

  4. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    fustudent610 replied to Mtng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't get the mentality of never give up. It's actually pretty thoughtless to the candidate. The candidate tried ten times, what in god's name makes you think the 11th time would work?? Suggesting...

  5. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    fustudent610 replied to Mtng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It shouldn't take people 10+ times to pass the NCLEX! It shouldn't even take people 3 times! But 3 times I understand at least. Threads like this one terrified me for the NCLEX. I spent so much time...

  7. I passed with 75 questions using only Kaplan prep

    fustudent610 replied to mikolover's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I ended up passing in 75 back in October. I 100% agree about the SATA, either you know it or you don't. However, in my experience NCLEX was easier than kaplan. It didn't try to trick me. I knever...

  8. Just took the NCLEX. Terrified I failed.

    fustudent610 replied to hope_is_w_feathers's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did get a duh question, yes. But when I asked my friend (the topic, NOT the question) she gave a completely different answer. So duh for one may not be obvious to others. There's no possible way to...

  9. Hardest class in nursing school

    fustudent610 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Med surg II. We lost 3 people and they're smart people. I feel part of it was due to the professors's ambiguity on some topics, but the rest of us made it so it was

  10. (NCLEX) SATA are killing me please help, need advice

    fustudent610 replied to loula114's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't mean to scare you, about half my test was SATA. I used kaplan so nclex SATA was much more fair. They weren't tricky, but still a lot of pressure obviously. If you could answer the question in...

    fustudent610 replied to hellodarlin34's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Go in for the long haul. Expect it to go past 75. Bring food and drinks (for locker). If you panic, you panic. But take a break when you panic. Just remember 76 is the most missed question, according...

  12. I feel horrible!!!

    fustudent610 replied to Jennynoe13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ah the 48 hour wait. People will tell you to take your mind off it but I say cope with it your own way, whatever passes the time. I compulsively googled my irrational concerns about the test. I found...

  13. NCLEX Select all that Apply

    fustudent610 replied to Kami675's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had SATA in just about every category on my test. If there's a multiple choice, there's a SATA. They ranged from ethical/legal to even having an EKG. I used kaplan to prep and found the nclex SATA...

    fustudent610 replied to dominicanraze123's topic in General Students

    I got their pharmacology thing when it was discounted. I honestly think it helped me grasp the basics. I just wish I used it

  17. NCLEX - RN -Kaplan question trainers statistic, Will I pass?

    fustudent610 replied to bche4gave's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My honest opinion is that I would be concerned. This is for two reasons, the scores are consistently low, and below 50%. I took kaplan as well, and I would not feel even remotely comfortable taking...

  18. HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    fustudent610 replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry but 9 times is insane. I've been through nursing school, dealt with my boards, and even I'm having trouble getting a job. But for 9 attempts it's going to be 9x harder. The nclex isn't some...

    The nclex was fair. I passed in 75. FU did a great job of getting us the knowledge, and of course kaplan helped. But kaplan questions were way more complicated, while most nclex questions were just a...

    fustudent610 replied to stbrn91's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I knew I was ready when I felt a hunger to test, and could do no more studying of rationales. My scores improved, and I actually moved it up early to avoid burnout. Of course, everyone is different....

  21. NCLEX-RN SATA Questions

    fustudent610 replied to Joviz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't count them because I didn't want it to interfere. I swear I had at least half of them as SATA, if not more. I was more surprised to see MC. I did pass in 75, but I don't attribute it to the...

    fustudent610 replied to fjluce's topic in General Students

    I thought it was easier than both. It tests you on the big ideas, not too many nitpicky things. The only issue I could think of are meds, but the actual meds were also on the practice. Not all, but...

    fustudent610 replied to fjluce's topic in General Students

    Well, in that case, I'll keep going! I found the test easier than the usual ATI proctored since it had to cover more ground, so it was more general. Some of the content from ATI comp predictor...
