April 2008 NCLEX test takers, COME ON IN!

Published

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. :) :nurse:

I don't want to jinx myself. Plus, I don't think I could come back if the results weren't in my favor. But I gotta think positive, right?!?

Best of luck to all of us!!!

I understand perfectly! In fact, I'm thinking about moving up my exam date. I'm scared out of my mind, but I think that I should give it a shot and do it earlier than the 28th. And like you said, I'm thinking about not telling anyone as to when I move it up to. *lol* The people at my job are really anxious for me to take it already. :rolleyes: I can't really understand why...I have three months to take it, so I don't know what is their rush. However, I'll do it when I know and feel a bit more ready than I do now. The anxiety and stress is ridiculous, but I'm not completely freaking out just yet.

Taking the Nclex RN for the 2nd time on April 7th. I've been using the Saunders Review book and I just purchased the Kaplan online course this morning.

Best wishes to all! :up:

Good luck to you too!! Those are the things I'm using to study as well. :)

Absolutely!! Does anyone have any system that they'd like to start with right away? I'm pretty good with the respiratory system, but we could always do it head-to-toe if that's the preference. What does everyone think? :)

Here is a description of what each CN is responsible for:

Just click on the "next" button at the bottom of the intro and you'll get a table that will have a simple explanation of each CN. :)

hi april test takers!!! sorry i've been MIA... been focusing on studying & also been going through the motions of whether or not to test in march or april. is there anyone else testing 4 the nclex - pn besides me? i'll be testing april 26th!! i've been reviewing since beginning of feb, so i hope this gives me enuff time!! so..where are we at on the review of systems? i'm REALLY bad w/ fluid & electrolytes, acid base balance & all that stuff... everything else i'm ok with! (ok... a little shaky on cardio & endocrine too, but not as bad as prev mentioned! lol) neway, i've been reading saunders (& doing the cd ?'s in it) & kinda doing suzanne's 1st tip... though i still go back to the chapters i did well on. i bought the kaplan q bank & strategy book, but like what someone else said here, it also confuses me & gets me so frustrated!! i feel more confident w/ saunders, but i knoe kaplan wouldn't hurt. neways, good luck to all of us!! *CROSSING FINGERS* :redbeathe
