   Oof I don't think that I could do that. But different strokes for different folks! Thank you for telling me about that law. I will look into it. However I do not attach 'RN' or 'ASN' to my actual name in any medium in real life or on the internet. T...

   MetalheadRN replied to Nargii's topic in NCLEX

   Thank you for sharing this! I've been using Kaplan and I also agree that it is a great tool to study. My test is in two days and today is my last real study day. On my last few Qbank 75q tests, I've been pulling between 50-60% which is great! On my t...

   Greetings all, In about 36 hours, I'll be taking another swing at the boards. I'm more confident now than I've been with my last attempts! You are what you eat as they say, and I want to be prepared to have the right brain food on test day. I'd like ...

4. Hangnails and their risk

   MetalheadRN posted a topic in Stress 101

   Let me go off and say that I am male so I haven't the slightest clue as to preventing these. I'm on the verge of passing my NCLEX so I am fully expecting to work in the hospital in the near future. My current issue is this: I can't stop picking at th...

5. The calm (day) before the storm (NCLEX)

   MetalheadRN replied to MetalheadRN's topic in NCLEX

   Thank you! I have the book but I actually did not do the book. I did purely UWORLD RN review which included a lot of PDA Qs. I focused on PDA because that was a weak point for me on my last attempt. I can't say enough about UWORLD... it is so very he...

   Taking time off of work when studying for you NCLEX is not always feasible but if you can do it, then by all means DO IT! But If you failed the first time perhaps you may find yourself in a position where you're running low on funds fast. That's wher...

9. Failed Nclex twice... Need help

   MetalheadRN replied to hpalmer23's topic in NCLEX

   I used Prep U (Lippincott PassPoint) and it is good for teaching you how to learn to take a CAT test. However, I felt that the questions and answers were too unrealistically worded, meaning that they were too easy to answer. They were far from the ac...

10. Failed NCLEX on first attempt

    MetalheadRN replied to MetalheadRN's topic in NCLEX

    I was definitely taking too long to answer each question, especially with the first 75 Q's. I was intimidated by the test for sure, which also didn't help me focus. I have to wait 45 days before I can retake my test, so I have 2 months to try and fi...
