I just found my name on the BRN website with an *RN* next to it!

I had 79 questions...I didn't think that the test was that difficult and was confident when I left the exam in 40 minutes. I had about 5 meds, but they were basic, no math, 2 select all that apply. Seems that most of my exam was on who would I see first, who would I call first, who would I discharge first, etc...

Good luck to all waiting to take the exam & those waiting on results!

Re: Took NCLEX-RN on Friday in CA

First off, sydie, CONGRATULATIONS!

So you felt pretty good about the test? Wow - it's so odd how differently people perceive the test. Most come out saying they feel they failed and that the content was arcane and bizarre - yet some, yourself included, feel the test made sense and was pretty straightforward. I wonder how/why that is? (I'll have my own perspective soone enough - I take NCLEX tomorrow.)

What did you to to prepare?

And again, a hearty YAY! for you.

Re: Took NCLEX-RN on Friday in CA

When did you took the exam?congratulations...

Re: Took NCLEX-RN on Friday in CA

Thanks...

Sunnydaze...congrats to you too, RN!

Vektor...believe me, I was very surprised to feel that my exam was straightforward. I expected to come out and think, what the heck was that all about!! I prepared using Saunders 3rd edition, and the Kaplan strategy book. I started studying about 3 weeks ago and spent 2-4 hrs per day on it. Good luck tomorrow...let us know what you think about the exam!

Otan11...I took the exam last Friday (6/15)

Re: Took NCLEX-RN on Friday in CA

a friend of mine in Anaheim who passed the NCLEX last month with 75 said the exam was easy. well, she excelled in our nursing school so i do not take her word for it cos i was her opposite when it comes to nursing school performance. but i wished i could borrow the brains of people who already passed. anyway, congratulations to those who passed!! Congrats, RNs! hope to be one soon..

Re: Took NCLEX-RN on Friday in CA

Thanks for the good luck wishes, sydie. I did similar prep to you, and took a review course. I have studied pretty obsessively actually, because I am a bit kooky like that.

I need to take a break and relax for the rest of the day - I've done all I can!

It sounds like your study plan and mine are similar, and it seemed to work well for you, so hopefully, I'm on the right track!

Re: Took NCLEX-RN on Friday in CA

Congrats to all who passed and best of luck to those waitin to take it or get their results. Im one of the waiters...took it yesterday. Im glad to hear that so many are getting their results rather quickly. I see the horror stories of those who are waiting after weeks...I don't think I could deal with that long of a wait. Only 30 hours later and I feel like I'm going to lose it if I don't know soon...
