Published

:heartbeathey everyone,

i promised myself that once i passed my nclex, i would start a forum to help others pass as well! this time the advice i can give is the following:

~keep jesus at the head of your life!

~pray!

~exercise and eat a well balanced diet!

~use multiple nursing resources....i used the following (saunder's nclex review, hurt online review course, exam cram, lacharity prioritization, delegation and management, prentice hall nursing review)!

~set a goal for each day and stick with it!

~when you answer questions go through all of the rationales they really do help!

~make flashcards on the stuff you are not 100% sure on!

~use every moment you have to study, even if it's just going through your flashcards!

~take some breaks, take a morning here and there to reelax your mind!

~study with someone who knows what they are doing!

~believe in yourself, you can do this! :):heartbeat

I don't even know you, but I'm so proud of you! You never gave up, and that is a great quality for a nurse to have. Congrats!

congrats on passing..

my only advice for people who are about to take the nclex is pick one study resource, either hurst or kaplan. overload of information is not a good thing, i highly recommond getting the kaplan review book (the thin purple one) this helps people look at questions and figure out what the questions are. this booked helped so much in nursing school, more so then any other study guide. once you finish school and have done all of your studying, do not study the day before your nclex, take a day for you ( i got a massage.)
