My big day is going to be on August 19:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat.... I was planning to take it on August 21 but I cannot find a 1pm schedule.
I've been reading Saunders(5th edition) since last week of May but up until now I can't seem to finish it. It's a lot of content to cover but I know I need to refresh everything because i'm a foreign graduate (6 years ago):o:o. I also have La Charity (my best friend swears this is the closest that you can get to NCLEX exam) and NCLEX3500. I finished the Kaplan Strategies book but I still want to try their Qbank(a lot of test takers said they have harder questions compared to NCLEX). Oh and lastly, I'm going to take the Hurst Online review. I've been researching in this site about Hurst and I decided to try it out. I'm not sure if it's a lot of resource , but I just want to pass this exam.
I decided not to tell my family or friends for my upcoming battle but I realized I need a lot of support and PRAYERS...
ohhhh laaaa, laaaa
Now anxiety.....
Anyways, I'll keep you posted.. to all August test takers (July, September, October....) good luck!!!!!
ok. so... cry, scream, hit a few things, eat some chocolate then collect yourself and start preparing.
first things first, why do YOU think you failed? and dont say youre stupid because thats not true you passed nursing school didnt you? you have to determine why you think you failed and build on those weaknesses before you can even think about looking at your "weak" areas that you did on the NCLEX.
Dont worry. everything happens for a reason. and good things come to those who wait. Be strong!

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know you did your best. Just hold on tight and when you're ready study again. I'll be praying for you.
LOL i think so, Lotus! that just means we BOTH have to and WILL pass!!!!! how have you been studying?
Well, I acquired Virtual ATI through my school; it is when you do specific assessments (like Renal/Urinary, fundamentals, and the such)to test were you are and whatever you missed, there is an on-line teacher to assist you along the way, Saunders Comprehensive Review CD (quiz mode to get instant answers), and NCLEX Made Easy CD questions. How about you??? Tommorrow is my last day to freshen up and Thursday morning will start my rituals. I also have a tiny Buddha, too.
YEP!!! I think we were separated from birth...so weird.
My school swore up and down by VATI, so I completed my course twice. I did all the nurselogic questions too. I complete thepoint, I am reading saunders comprehensive review on areas that I know I am weak in, I was sreading the whole thing but I was getting low on time so now I am focusing on things people say show up a lot on the NCLEX, renal, endocrine, DM, DI, SIADH, infection control, etc. I just completed that kaplan course yesterday as well. i used exam cram which i completed a month ago, i did NCLEX made incredibly easy which I completed a month ago as well. Today is the last day before the big exam for both of us.
I am planning on doing a few questions today, like only 50. then I am using ATI's TIPS asssignment and I am going to read that over and over, and also this other 35 page exam guide I found online with is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! really breaks everything down, tomorrow, I have my massage and I am going to do absolutely nothing. and I am going to walk out of that center an RN
As for the 35 page study guide, I recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Good luck to you CoachDiva23, We can do this. I still have 9 days:redbeathe:redbeathe:redbeathe
hi all..I am taking the exam on the 16th...6 days from now...Im really anxious. I havent memorized any drugs nor blood levels yet cause I keep on answering practice questions until wee hours. What's more crazy is that I answer practice questions yet I dont read rationales, I only get my score hahaha. So I think with the 4 days I have left, I'll read rationales.
I wish us all good luck. Let us all pass the exam :)
