NCLEX study group in Edinburgh

by Ouray

Hello

I am studying for the NCLEX but finding it hard going! I've sent off my application for licensure to the board of nursing and am now waiting to hear back from them, so I thought I'd start studying straight away.

I was hoping to find other nurses in the Edinburgh area trying to study/sit the NCLEX and get together and study...strength in numbers so to speak!

If any one out there is interested let me know

Hello,

I'm a Scottish Nurse who has been in the states for 10 yrs. I went through an agency who did all the paperwork for me. My advice to you is just keep doing the practise tests the NCLEX is really not as hard as you think...don't over think the answers..remember they are testing brand new nurses who are trying to decide the ideal answer.

Thanks for your reply. I'm real nervous about sitting the exam, I've applied to the nursing board and am waiting for my ATT and have also started studying for the exam by reading books and doing practice questions from cd rom's. Sometimes I feel like i don't know anything though when I keep getting questions wrong!!

I live in Canada and we have good schooling here, I wrote the nclex and failed the first time as so did more then 6 people I know! I wrote it the 2nd time and Passed!

My advice while your waiting for your ATT study a couple hrs every day. This test finds your weakness and you cant go in thinking you don't really need to study its not like any other exam. I have been working almost 2 years as an RN, and this exam truthfully is not at entrance level. I bought the Saunders book and spent a month reading and understanding the material because really my anatomy course was in first year of university. The 2nd month I spent practicing questions and reading why the answers were wrong or right. I used kaplan, saunders and mosby for practice questions. good luck!

What state are you planning on living in? that really is the state you really need to apply to, only exception would be CA. Suggest a good read in the International forum as much you need to be aware on like retrogression and the long wait you will have
