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 took the NCLEX-PN today. The test ended at 85 Qs. I know thats the minimum for the NCLEX-PN and the minimum for NCLEX-RN is 85. I had a lot of SATAs! Two math calculations. I feel a little nauseated, but I will wait and see and hope for the best. Some questions I felt very confident, others not so much. Let's pray for the best. Thanks for the encouragement and support!:):heartbeat:heartbeat:):heartbeat:)

I am feeling positive vibes for you my dear!:up::yeah::yeah::yeah:

Cheer up Chichimitchi,

I am sure you passed. By looking other posts I came to the conclussion that the more SATA's you are having in the NCLEX the better your performance is being? I know there are a lot of urban legends around the test, but for some reason this makes a little sense to me.

Any way, relax and tell us you passed on wednesday

I only had 5 SATA and passed.... I don't know if it has to do with the number of SATA... BUT based on the overall look of your questions, Chichi, I also believe you passed!

hey guys.. so i just got out of the testing site literally like an hour ago and here is what i had:

75 qs total

13 SATA

6 math (harder than i expected)

around 10 drugs

the rest were prioritization, pt teaching, infection control

had a lot of DM qs but no other endocrine

no herbal meds

so the wait is on.. this is the worse part.. hopefully i passed.. if u guys have any questions dont hesitate to ask me :uhoh3::uhoh3::uhoh3:

I had a similar arrangement of questions even though I was taking the NCLEX-PN and stopped at 85. You are the right, the wait sucks!

Hmm. From what I've seen here in the forums, I think you passed! So, CONGRATS IN ADVANCE!!!

I'VE GOT THE FEELING YOU PASS MY DEAR!

I read the most recent posts, I am starting to have the fear factor, Oh my..8 days to go!:redbeathe:redbeathe:redbeathe:bugeyes:

7 days for me...:uhoh21:

Good luck, honey!! I hear ya on the nauseated part. I haven't even taken it and I feel nauseous. lol

hi guys, has anyone used the Kaplan NCLEX-RN Strategies book? I tried the 180 questions from the CD just now and I got 66%. Do you think I'm ready to test on friday??? Please advise:)

The first time I took it, I got a 61%. That was about a month and a half ago. I just took it again today and I got a 74%. Not sure what that means, but I do know that I knew some of the rationales without even waiting for them. *shrug* The one thing that frustrates me about me is that I KEEP CHANGING MY ANSWERS BECAUSE I THINK THAT ANOTHER ONE LOOKS BETTER THAN THE ONE I KNOW IS RIGHT!!! ARRRRRRRGH!! It sucks. :'(

With 5 days to go, I would review lab values and some meds and maybe the most critical/acute diseases that are most common. Also, the contact, droplet, airborne, etc. precautions. But remember, the day BEFORE the NCLEX, NO MORE STUDYING! I'm taking THAT advice to heart. *sigh*

you april group are awesome...reall did studied hard.... you'll make it just like the rest....cheer up....God is good.

Amen! God IS good!
