5th attempt & 10 months later...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I can officially say I am a Registered Nurse...BOY DOES IT FEEL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!:wacky:

I tested for the 5th time this Wednesday, got 264...NOT 265 questions and left that test center feeling really confused. All these thoughts went through my mind, why didn't it go all the way? Why didn't I get any drag and drops, any EKG's, and hotspots? You know what...that doesn't matter!!! What matters is that I MADE IT! :cheeky:

I DID NOT do the PVT trick this time around, I decided to wait for my official results. For the past 2 days I had been checking the BRN to see if my name would show up....2 hours ago....it did. I stood there making sure I was reading correctly...I froze, I said "I passed, huh, what?":woot:. Then it finally hit me and I started screaming! I ran inside the house yelling "I PASSED, I PASSED..." The look on my parents face,the tears that ran down those cheeks...it made me the happiest girl ever. I finally made them proud...I finally made my DAD proud. His little girl is finally an RN!!!!! :uhoh3:

For those that are curious as to what I did; I read Saunders 5th edition and did ATI questions along with NCLEX 4000. I also took a look at the 35 page study guide that has been going around but didn't focus on that so much.

IT IS POSSIBLE!!! DO NOT GIVE UP!! NEVER!!!!! GO FUTURE RN's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:up:

Also, if you just took your test, we might have got some of the same questions because I didn't have any EKG's , hotspots, drag downs or anything like that either. It was a weird selection of questions this time.

Thanks guys...

For my 4th attempt I failed with 264 questions but had ekgs, drag and drop, etc. I will say that the priority questions were very difficult for my 5th attempt...there were times where i had to think about each answer and analyze them one by one. Thats why I was confused this time...but who cares...its done with!!!

Congratulations!! your hard work paid off.

CONGRATULATIONS. Did you find NCLEX 4000 questions comparable to NCLEX questions

Also did you read the whole Saunders book page by page

Thanks!!!

NCLEX 4000 was ok...I prefered ATI more over that. Either way utilizing both helped me practice on HOW to answer the questions. That was the key...

And no I did not read page by page. I have been studying and taking the NCLEX since january so I have learned alot each time. Whatever I knew I skimmed over, but things I was unclear of yes I did read more in depth. I would highly recommend reading and highlighting the red writings that they have after each topic...those are important things to know. I did alot of highlighting(important facts ofcourse like interventions, when to call the DR. Etc).

Good luck guys! =)
