Re: My NCLEX Story- Hopefully it will give me and everyone else some HOPE
Hey-I think I took the NCLEX with you on Thursday-Was it at the Pittsburgh West Center on Campbell's Run Rd? I took it at 8am too. I was the second one there, I may have spoken to you. I was the first one to leave-got booted out at 75 questions, so I was sick to my stomach---But I passed! Just found out this morning-Paid the 7.95 extortion fee. In this case, extortion felt great! I'll tell you-I felt so well-prepared going in, but then most of the questions were like-What is this???? At any rate, I guess I was adequate.
I studied using the Saunders review, and I think it was excellent! It was a great overview of content, plus a chapter on test-taking, so very thorough. I graduated from CCBC, and all of my classmates paid to take the Kaplan review. (I just coldn't justify the expense-I'm an old-married-got-bills-to-pay kind of student, and had other things to do with the money.) They were not happy with it-Said it was a waste of time-no content review, just test-taking stuff. My best advice would be to pay attention in class and then review for a couple of weeks before the test. Don't obsess-it isn't helpful. At any rate, I'm pretty relieved and maybe a little proud, so I'll close with a cutesy nursely smile
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo-hooo!!!!!!
Congratulations!
