Anyone else ready to PASS the NCLEX in February!?!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I'm scheduled to take the NCLEX-RN tomorrow at 8 am! I'm so excited and ready to be done! :lol2: I spent Sunday relaxing, then most of yesterday I just relaxed and took a few comprehensive exams. I'm making around 80% on my comprehensive tests and have done 3750 questions. Today I'm going over my flashcards one more time and will maybe take a practice test or two, nothing big though. Making my coffee now!

Who else has is ready to go? Any last minute advice? Let's have a positive attitude-we can do it! (Can you believe I haven't had coffee yet ;) )

Let me know how it works out for you

I just took it today at 8 am in Alexandria, VA. Had 75 questions. I felt like the questions were way out of left field but I hope I passed! It was my first time!

Did you do the PVT!?! I heard it's so hard to judge after you leave. One of my friends said she felt like she didn't know any of the answers, but still passed. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

They say if you feel the questions were harder questions that is a good sign you passed. Because the more easy questions you answer right the harder the questions will get!

Thanks for your support everyone! Headed to bed and hoping to do well tomorrow!

Hope you did well! I'm still waiting for my ATT while literally everyone I know from my class already has this. Planning on heading down to my state BON since I live in the same city it's located in. Hopefully I"ll be lucky and can knock it out with in a few weeks!!

I can honestly say that was the weirdest test I've ever taken! I can't decide if I'm going to do the PVT or not, so I'm just going to relax for a while. I don't know if I could have honestly studied more and felt better about the test. There were just a lot of SATA and prioritization type questions. One of them I thought "First I'd see my nurse manager and give her my resignation if I worked on a floor and this was my typical patient population!" ;)

I did a good job not freaking out, except when I raised my hand for a new dry erase board the guy who came to give me a new one said to me "You know, we have to let the NCBSN (or whoever) know if you request too many of these." Um, okay, I am halfway through my test and I just requested one more! I was using it to help eliminate answers and write things out, which was well within my right to do, so I just had to calm myself down a bit.

So that's my big piece of advice is to not freak yourself out. There was one woman in there in tears before the thing even started, not a good way to start. I just did a lot of deep breathing and made myself focus on one question at a time. When I got to question 74 I wrote on my board "you can do it, take a deep breath and keep going" so that I could look at it and reassure myself just in case it didn't shut off, but it did!

Good luck everyone!

I had at least 15 SATA questions...and one that was the list steps in order ....and one that had the exhibit "chart" to look at patient info to make a decision. My Kaplan instructor said that if you get a lot of SATA questions that means you're doing good because it's giving you harder questions when those show up. I didn't use my white board or headphones or earplugs at all! What is your state board of nursing?? How long till you find out? I'm in DC but my state board of nursing is Missouri...and MO has quick results through pearsonvue so I find out tomorrow! I hope you get to find out soon!

And what is PVT??

Pearsonvue trick

This is how it works after exam you go and try to re-register and if it take you to credit card page that means it is bad news, but if it give you a pop up which says contact your nursing board that means you pass.
