ANOTHER UPDATE --> interview AND nclex

Published

UPDATE from https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/update-inefficient-training-576005.html

Summary: I quit the nursing home. 2 days later, I got a call for an interview at a hospital.

I had the interview yesterday and felt great about it! They said there are 20 openings and they're interviewing 20 people. So it sounds like I already got the job; they just wanted to get to know me. :D I find out for sure if I got the job today or Monday.

And then today, I took the NCLEX. I got 80 questions. After I passed 75 questions, I just wanted to cry. I got a chance to redeem myself, I guess. I felt numb afterwards... then cried on the way home. I had hard-as-hell questions. And then I realized that if you had hard questions, you probably passed. And I had A LOT of select-all-that-apply questions. Those were the only alternative style questions I got, oddly. I got home and checked online. The good pop-up came up. THANK GOD.

So an interview and NCLEX in 2 days... I'm feeling like the world is off my shoulders now.

Congrats to you!! I take my nclex in 3 weeks and I am sooo nervous. Did you see a little bit of everything on the test? I have been studying everyday for 3 weeks and I still feel like I am not sure.

Thank you so much everybody!! Ya'll are super awesome. And yes, I will have the best weekend ever. I already have plans for the next 4 days! LOL

Study hard and God will reward you. I studied almost every single day for several hours for a month. I even told my boyfriend I wouldn't see him at all for the week before the test because I needed to study. HAHA. He said he understood.

I did 3,000 practice questions, most of them coming from Kaplan. There were some medications I never even heard of. But yeah, there was a little bit of everything on it. I highly suggest doing Kaplan questions. I took 2 practice tests from the 2011-2012 book. And I found the question trainers online and did those. I also did a 100 question practice test from a Saunders CD. I got between 63-72% on my practice tests. I also took an NEC review course... you know, the company that made all those visuals to help you remember certain diseases and conditions: https://www.facebook.com/pages/NCLEX-NEC/90904973295

Just keep at it and your confidence will begin to increase. I bet you feel better now than you did 3 weeks ago!
