any filipina nurses planning to take the nclex???

[taj'samericanwife 0]

Yes , the lecture class is only 4 days in USA

The rest of the study is on your own..................

yeah on your own but working within the kaplan field and utilizing their stuff like doing the videos and questions...its the same in the philippines

I find it funny that NCLEX review in PI is months and in US It's a few days.

FYI: in the united states they have the kaplan complete course which also takes months! and maybe the 4 days you were referring to for the US is only the sit class class that they have with live lectures which is a part of the complete course of kaplan. if you want to gamble your options and just attend the 30 hours / 4 days class and not do anything else at kaplan then it really is "funny" because i dont think anyone would just pass after sutdying for 30 hours / 4 days... i took the whoe course includin the few days live lecture! i really enjoyed the whole review.it costs, around 500 USD only and i didnt know if the kaplan makati offers the live lecture only, either you enroll for th whole course with the few dys live lecture or the whole course only.

JEFF AND MADZ: what were you scoring on your q bank and question trainers? im only getting like 50% - 76% on my q bank and on question trainers i got 66%, 60%, 57%, 63% on question trainer 1,2,3,4...saving 5,6,7, near my exam date...the kaplan q bank questions are hard man!

i didn't use the Q bank coz its quite expesive hre in the PI.the kaplan questions were really difficut, before i signed up for the review i got a 45%, thet was the diagnostic exam, hahaha! i had 63's several i think then went above 65%, got 67%'s,and 74%'s..around those scores.cant remember my scores, i threw already the graphs that kaplan makes to give your score and its breakdown to the last exam which we didnt even got to find out the answers.i got 84% topped the clss:goofy: yeeyyy!!! just aim to be always over 65% and you'll do fine. the questions in the Question Trainer were almost similar to the NCLEX, i mean, the approach. another tip from kaplan is that after reading the question, do not think about the answer right away. go to the options. and use the strategies, ABC's, prioritizations...etc

by the way, don't forget the normal values!wink! it'll help!hmm..what else..i had a question about anemia, sulpfonylureas..hmm...ill try to tecall the others hheheheh!

took the xam at 9am and got out of the exam venue at around 10. stopped ta 75. i have 2 other friends who took the kaplan whole course and the computer stopped at 75.they also passed. my other classmate who reviewd in another review center finished the exam at 3pm! and got 265 quesiton..he passed too! yeeyy!

just practice, practice and practice. and relax esp the day before the exam. i really made the right decision to take kaplan. heheh!

hhaha! i had to rescheduled several times, almost took the exam in london, but i feel more comfortable at home, in PI so i waited till almos the expiration of ATT and glad Princess let me have an early vacation. if there is anything i can do to help, just pm me!GOD BLESS!!!!!

My ATT expires July 18, and until now hindi pa rin ako nagpapaschedule, is that ok that I take the exam 2 or 3 days before the expiry date?

thanks

Hi PacificG! magpaschedule ka na ngaun kahit un sked ng exam mo is 2-3 days before your exam at least may motivating factor na para sa review mo. minsan kasi eh punuan..pero dko lam kasi situation jan sa US eh.

i get so frustrated with the q bank my scores range from 50% to 76%...anyway when u took the review in the philippines for kaplan, i think the q bank should have been included!

I got free Kaplan QBank questions at Facebook. Though, you only get to have 1 question per day and you are able to unlock rewards that would help you in your nursing review. Good luck!

All praises to HIM, I passed the NCLEX-RN this time. To all of you who are going through the same thing, believe in the power of prayers. We went through 4 years of nursing school & I can bet'cha we can overcome a mere test. Just stick with your studying schedule no matter what. Thank you Susan & Gina for the prayers & moral support. May God be with us always.

hi!!I came here in California under a K1 visa. After getting my SSN I applied for my California RN license and I got it from mail a week ago..I am planning on taking IELTS next month because I haven't taken that exam yet. Is IELTS/TOEFL necessary for applying work here in California?I am really confused if I should take it..thank you..

I don't think if you need one, sis. Check on your state's BON kasi sayang naman if ur gonna spend money on it pero di required.

Good Luck!

Hi can you help me guys I badly need an advise. I graduated last june 2009 and gained my nurse license here in the philippines. I have an aunt in massachusettes. so I'm planning to go there. I want to take NCLEX and work in MA. I already found an agency that can help me in processing my documents. I'm confuse, because they told me that CES is needed before taking NCLEX. and besides CES is just an evaluation not an exam unlike CGFNS. that's how they explain it to me.

is CES different from CGFNS? I browse a lot of sites where I can find the answer but all I can see is that, CES is a part of CGFNS where they will ask the CGFNS id # which is a little bit confusing in my part. Do i have to take CGFNS exam before I can work in MA or just take the CES and NCLEX?

I still suggest to all new BSN Grads to check out the new Dr. Degree they are offering Nurses in USA.

You can become a Primary Care Physician within 2 years after having your BSN.

It take 2 years of school, which includes 1 year residency

You take the same test a Physician takes
