HOW HARD IS THE NCLEX?
hi i am a LVN studetn at summit carreer college, first let me say its a joke, so dont go to this school. its horrible. 2nd how hard is the nclex? is the hessi test pretty much the same as the nclex?
To me they were different, the question format was different. The HESI didn't really prepare me for the NCLEX. My school did away with the HESI because it wasn't a good predictor for passing NCLEX, instead they changed to ATI, which is a lot more helpful.
it honestly depends on how well your school was. i went to a very strict nursing school with teacher that would make an army nurse feel uncomfortable. so it was a piece of cake. other places the school is so useless and only there to get easy money by having a nursing program (another story) and they have like a 70% fail rate. so it depends....
i tell people to think stupid. they dont know that ya obviously i would take vital signs after somebody comes back from surgery and i pick look at wound first as to what to do.....
