April 2009 Nclex takers...come on in...share ur thoughts

Published

Hello everyone,

I decided to start a thread for those taking nclex in april 2009 so we can support and encourage each other. Please share your thoughts, fears, anything.....What you are using to prepare etc.

This will be my second time taking nclex. First time (nov 12, 2008), i had 75 questions....felt horrible when i found out i did not pass. I made a study plan and promised myself to stick to it and not procastinate, gave myself 6 wks of studying. I am studying saunders 4th ed for content review, doing questions from saunders cd and nclex 3500. I plan to re-take nclex on april 1st, 2009. I am hoping for the best for all of us yet to pass nclex.

I took it today, shut off at 85.

Not feeling too great about it.

Stick to the book...real life doesn't help with the questions on this test.

Can you over study?

So I have the books, Saunders 4th edition, & LaCharity..I have not done any questions

was trying to refresh my head (been out of nursing school for 3 years)

I find the questions at the end of Saunders individual chapters really hard.as opposed to

Qbank questions..

Any thoughts on this?

Also the new style questions SATA really are tough..

Would love any advice

i can't believe it!!!!! i got my att today.... and graduated today to boot!! i didn't think i would be able to test until next month due to a snafu with some paperwork and the bon. i am soooooo excited. i immediately went to pearson's site and scheduled my test for next week!! i test on the 23rd. i have been studying since i finished cpne in feb. i feel prepared, but very scared. i know me; if i fail it will be very hard to to make myself so it again. but... i will not fail....:dncgbby:

I test the 23rd also. A little scared, but can't wait to get this chapter behind me. I test in Augusta, GA. Its about 2 hrs from home, but they had the earliest slot available. Good luck to you..
