I'm an RN now =)


Just found out that I passed my NCLEX today on the first try!!! I didn't want to pay for Kaplan or any review classes. Instead, I borrowed the Sanders 4th ed. CD from my friend and did questions fromt here. I read basically every post on the "random fact throwing thread" and also studied the Priority book by LaCharity. All in all, I felt prepared. But when I got to my test I was suprised. It was hard. Don't go in thinking "I studied a lot, so I will know every question" like I did. I had no math questions, some on Hepatitis, a lot on infection control and one put in order questions. I didn't know the med questions...guessed on almost all of them. I felt like I didn't know anything. I got 75 questions and finished in just under an hour. So review, pray and stay calm....every single one of us will be an wonderful RN or LPN someday soon!!!!
