so i went through a lot, my mom died from cancer, so i had to take care of my dad. i waited 7 months after graduation to take my nclex. working full time 40 hours a week was a lot for me. took it today and i got the good pop up! i am not a smart student in school, but i was competent enough to be a safe nurse.
the nclex is not testing how smart you are, it was just testing to see if you have minimun competency and how safe are you.
i foucsed on my maslow, abc, and which one will keep my patient alive.
tools i used was suanders, la charity, kaplan, an study, exam cram, nclex 3500, and ati. i would say kaplan was the hardest.
the best part was praying. i picked up a couple of prayers from this website.
two days before exam i was nervous. the day before the exam i took the day off. today i was not nervous at all because i kept saying the prayers over and over again.
remember let go and let god. he will pull you through anything.
