LONG, LONG post ahead!:typing

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad that all the hard work and sleepless nights finally paid off. This was def the hardest time in my life, 3rd time is a charm.

Best advice I can give after taking it 3X's is to try to be as positive as possible and pray harder then ever. Respect this test eventhough it has the power to make u feel lower than low (trust me i know!). Believe in yourself because although its hard, you WILL be an RN.

I used Suzzanes first tip only and wrote tons of notes down in my personal "nclex-rn notebook". Once I was done I went through my notes about 10 times. In between (when i got bored) I also did about 1000 q's from the cd and i used learning ext for three weeks focusing on the q's only. I did soooo many q's whenever time allowed from lippincott, kaplans purple book, mosby cd comprehensive, nclex made red easy, exam cram, fuer cd and so many more all thanks to Barnes and noble and some nurse friends who passed down there learning material.

I truly believe that you have to do whatever you think works best. I have recieved sooo much advice (for ex: make sure that i did 8 hrs a day for 3 weeks, just do q's, dont study the day before the exam.... )Well i did not listen because when I was tired, I took a break and when i felt like i needed time for myself, I completely tried to zone out from nclex world and the day brfore the test if i felt like i needed a quick refresher on a topic, i looked it up quick. do whatever feels right...

For me, kaplan did not work because I learn by reading and the blue kaplan book is sorta in chart/narrow format not detailed enuf. Saunders is the best because you really do absorb so so so much.

This site is amazing and even though i did not post often, i always read threads and appreciated everyones stories, strategies, and help. You guys have been a great great support. ALL OF YOU WILL SUCCEED! dont ever ever give up and surround yourself with as much positive energy as you can.......

thank u all,
