Took Nclex 7/17/08


I don't really ever post, but I read others post here a lot! The support and kindness everyone shows each other is amazing! Well I made a promise to god that if I passed the Nclex then I would pay it forward.

I am a procrastinator a really bad one, I had suzannes plan but was only able to follow it for about 5 chapters and then I started procrastinating again, well panic set it about a week before the test and I started doing about 50-60 questions a night and randomly going through saunders, exam cram and Kaplan books, I wrote down notes and studied those, I learned the classifications of all my meds and basic labs, all in about a week in a half. I also took a Drexel class at the hospial i work at (didn't do much for me) I went and took the test 7/17 had between 115-120 questions and it shut off! I knew I failed!! I had no drug calcs, about 25 SATA, a lot of priority and infection, ton of meds and the main focus of my test was diabetes and renal (which I really did not study) I took the test in about 1 hr 45 minutes. I cried during it and when I left...It was aweful. But by the grace of god!! I passed! i do not reccomend my study habits to anyone! however, I wanted others to know that you are not alone in the struggle to study and that passing is possible! Good luck to everyone!! My prayers are with you!!

Thumbs up Re: Took Nclex 7/17/08
Hey nursebreeze! Congratulations! I too took the test on 07/17 and just found out I passed with Quick Results. I have been working as a GN and didn't really have time to study as I had planned, but put in 4 full days of cramming using Princeton Review tests and ATI.

So happy to have that stressor out of the way!!
