Nclex-Rn the 1st time with 263 questions!


Hi..eveyone
I'm a foreign graduate nurse .I graduated 17 years ago(1991).I have lived in USA for 5 years and I'm stay-home mom.I never attended any class.
I would like to say thank you everyone in this site for sharing story.
I passed the NCLEX 1st time because of
1.you guys who inspired me either failling or passing.
2.Susanne's plan + SAUNDERS edition4 ...Her plan helped me a lot .Her plan guide me how to prepare the test.Eventhough I didn't use her plan exactly, I did use CD for every questions. As I told you I 'm foreign graduated nurse and graduated 17 years . I got more anxious for preparing the test so I also use
3.Kaplan Q trainer...the score didn't quite impress
TEST#1 SEP 9/2008 -53% TEST#2 OCT 9-59% TEST#3 OCT14-58% TEST#4 OCT 17-53% TEST#5 OCT27 -52% TEST#6 OCT31-53% TEST#6 NOV 11-56%
4.The thread..Anyone-up-random-fact-throwing.I visited this thread 30 minutes everyday 2weeks before I took the test.
5 Encouragement from my family and friends.
4.Important thing is My confidence.
I took the test on NOV 15/2008.I got 263 questions and took me for 5 hours.When I left testing center,I called my husband and told him " prepare extra money for$200"
I got every part in nursing--psycho,phama,cardio,gastro,pedi,gyne,maternal,law, respiratory,infection control,burn. The sure thing are
  • priority-who assess first,return call first,who should bedischarged
  • delegation questions.
  • I got 4 satas.
  • I got repeat questions about phama, cardio,gastro.
When I left testing center.I believed i failed but in the bottom of my heart i have hope so on NOV18/2008 ,I looked in CA BOARD and typed my lastname and enter FIND .I waited for 5 seconds and then I saw my nameI couldn't believe my eyes.I rechecked many times ,my name still there.
I CAN DO IT , YOU CAN DO IT TOO. CONFIDENCE ,CONFIDENCE
My daughter 3 year-old ,she love to sing this song that she got from her favorite show" DON'T STOP DON'T GIVE UP KEEP TRYING KEEP TRYING" while I was studying.

Congratulations!

That was a great uplifting story. I think up until now I have not shifted my thinking to believe that I can actually pass this test but that is starting to change thanks to reading stories like yours.

Thanks!
