Great idea. Dont give up. You can do this!

I actually had a subscription to Kaplan and I was studying the Qtest for the first test and I failed. I switched it up by taking the Hurst online review (do this for 45 days.. small amounts one video per day) and doing the Hurst in person review 3 days before the test to refresh my memory. I took several Qtest with Hurst and did not score high but, I refused to give up. I studied the things I got wrong. I continued to take Kaplan test but changed to taking a 5-10 question test at a time. I could quickly take a test and study the missed questions without feeling like it was too much. Here are a few things I added to my studies that helped me (Positioning --example Lumbar puncture before and after), CPR, Insulin, endings for basic drugs, air embolism signs and symptoms and there are a few quick youtubes on how to remember Lab values that are helpful. Know some of the basic things on Maternity like FHR positions depending on baby positions. Dont kill yourself on trying to know details.. KNOW what to look for for the things that will kill the patient. (Tension Pneumo, Air Embo, Bleeding risk ect) these will save you when you have no other clue you can look at the s&s and figure it out. MOST OF ALL: THERE ARE NO GOOD PATIENTS ON THE NCLEX ASSUME THE WORST! (This is important because your telling the NCLEX lady this is the only thing Im going to do OVER AND OVER.. ex.. sit the patient up)

I passed. I found out 3 days before Christmas.

I did Kaplan with my school and I thought I was good for the NCLEX but I failed the first time. I then signed up for Hurst Review online and in person, I just took it today and I am waiting to hear if I passed the second time. I did the PVT and it gave me the POP up, and I am holding my breath to see if I passed. Hope that helps.

Dec 2016 I just tried the PVT and it gave me the credit card page when I entered my information I got this at the top of the page. All the tutorials on the PVT says it would come up as a pop up but it didnt, it came up at the header of the credit card page after I entered the credit card information and hit submit: Does anyone know if this means that I passed. I failed the first time and I am totally scared I failed again. PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS BE CORRECT. Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam.
