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. :)

All of us feel the same way hun, one day or the other day. Some day I feel like on top of the world, and then there are days when I feel down in dumps ... reading the posts here, prayer ... is helping me to carry on. Good luck

Last week, I almost lost it. I was over exhausted (correct word). I was giggling like anything and everything like a mad person ... I was losing it. It's crazy! I took chichi and everyone else's advise and just tried to forget everything. I'm back today again rested. I almost felt like I was going to pass out and felt kind of sick. I'm glad, I did whatever I did to get rid of that accumulated stress.

Thank you to all for your wonderful advises.

-------------

I completely understand how you feel! My test is in 14 days! 2 weeks EXACTLY! Some days I feel like I know it and other days I feel like ... I am still doing part two of suzannes plan... i will be done in 11 days.... I sure hope it works! :confused::confused:

Hi Mave and rest of April testtakers,

I passed the NCLEX RN...!!!!!....Had 75 questions..

I had a lot infection control..1 med calculation and 4-5 easy meds , teaching and priority questions..I preponed my test to March29...(coz its a saturday!!!)

I must mention I had atleast 12-15 questions which were SATA!!!!!

I did the Suzanne plan and read from PDA ,Saunders,

and 250 newformat questions..

My advice to future testakers would be do CONTENT!!! first and foremost see that you know the content then solve questions...dont leave any doubts regarding any specific topic:nono: rather use resources like the internet and other search engines!!!! I used the searchbox of allnurses alot for doubts!! believe me its very helpful!! Goodluck to y'all:up:

OMG! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU, HONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:yeah::yeah:

Just a couple days away and the nerves are gettin a little out of control. Staying on tums to keep stomach acid level down.

* Need any kind of acronym for Addison / Cushings. And the Thyroid disorders. I know them but seem to choke when under pressure. I use the acronyms alot.

Anyone?

Hi... I feel the same way... will be testing in like 96hrs..... feeling nervous/anxious at this time... deep inside i belive that this time is a charm... i don't want to go thru that painful experience of studying. Good luck to you and the rest of April test takers.....lets pray for eachother

btw, someone posted this website for Medical memonic's... hope you will find it helpful... http://www.medicalmnemonics.com/
