April 2008 NCLEX test takers, COME ON IN!

[MMARN]

Per the request of janina08 I've started the April NCLEX takers support group. When do you take it? What are you using to study? Would anyone like to review any of the systems/meds that he/she feels weakest on? Let's keep each other in our prayers and good thoughts as we go through one of the biggest experiences of our lives. :)

hi guys,

I took the test on the 23rd. Today I checked my results, and guess what? I PASSED!! This is my first time taking NCLEX-RN exam. I graduated from my BSN last December. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I'M SOOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! :redpinkhe:coollook:WANNA THANK EVERYONE WHO PRAYED FOR ME & WISHED ME GOOD LUCK & EVERYONE WHO POSTED MESSAGES ON THIS FORUM! ALSO, THANK YOU LORD VERY VERY MUCH!! THIS MUST BE A MAGIC I THINK!!

When I took the test I ran out of questions! I thought to myself "Well, at least I didn't run out of time, and 265 questions means I was very close to the passing/failing line". But after the test I just didn't know what to think!!! I kept checking my scores, checked this morning there were no results available, checked again an hour ago, & found out that the results are there, and the most important part is that I PASSED!!

Mave, please add my name to April 23rd as passed.

For those of you who are testing soon my advise is:

- definitely know infection control!!! e.g. which patient can stay with which patients, which disease needs droplet, contact precautions etc.

There were many infection control questions.

- I had plenty of SATA questions.

- one thing i discovered is that there were so many questions in the following format: asking you "which condition/patient needs a follow-up?"

I did practice tests using Kaplan & Saunders (I personally think Kaplan is better, even though it seems like Kaplan makes it harder than the real test). I usually scored in high 50s & low 60s. Still I can't believe I passed!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!!
