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:

hi guys just wanna have some tips on taking the nclex-RN. tnx. im just new here.

Hi, study hard and do questions, I recommend Saunders for content and dont skip a chapter, making flashcards, get the Mosby delegation and prioritization book, reviewing your classifications of drugs...

Congratulationsssssssss Chichi & Supernurse.You did it! Praise be to God and to you guys, coz u two worked hard for it. So pat yourself and celebrate your belssing. It must feel so relieved to have it off your back. As for me, I just got back from the testing center. The feeling I have is, I just want to sit down, curl up and cry. I don't know exactly what number it stopped at. But, I prayed and said to God that even if it takes 250 questions, I'm willing to sit through the whole amount of questions, but please God, let me pass this time. The questions I have a feeling stopped around 70's-80's, not exactly sure, coz I didn't look at the question number the whole time I was there. But I am 100% sure of two questions I got wrong, coz after coming out of the test center, I checked -those 2 were SATA question. Those 2 I am very sure, I got wrong, now about the other ones, I don't even know. Whole way back from the test center on the road, I was feeling bad. One medication, I wasn't even sure what it was! I think I got in the following manner:

5-6 SATA

5-6 Calculations (Guys please pay very attention to if it is mcg or mg or LB or KG or what it is - while practicing right now and during ur exam)

Quite a few Priority (Would you count, what would you do next?; What's nurses's Immediate action;? etc is it considered priority or plain question?)

Lots of infection control (I have a feeling I did bad here)

No triage questions as in disaster ones

No fill in the blanks except for the math calculation ones

No drag and drop

I mean I was ready for 250 questions, if it is that's how many it would take for me to pass :(. The computer didn't even give me 90 questions I think. I was just doing the questions and next I know, the screen is blue. Either I passed or the computer thought this girl is dumb. I just have mixed emotions right now. I want to yell, cry. But I prayed throughout the exam, before the exam and while coming home. That's the only hope I've got :(. And I know all of you have been praying a lot for me and all of us. It means a lot. Thank you so much.

Sorry, my post must have been downer. I don't want to spread donwness for the test takers who are sitting for their exam tomorrow and in the coming days. Infection control, please do go through it properly and not just scan it ( KNow which diseases are droplet, or contact or airborne). I didn't get very many med questions (maybe 5-6). I kept getting peds. Good luck to everyone who'll be testing. Please study hard, even when u don't feel like studying. God bless.

P.s. Icy, I knew u were testing today also. So everytime, I prayed for me during exam, I said a prayer for u also. But, right now I just feel very very horrible.

Hey!

You got yourself into the nursing program, graduated and studied a lot.

85% of people passing. All this is what you have on your side.

All that is what I said to myself (tomorrow I will find out if I am a RN or I have to re ttest).

HANG IN THERE!!!:):)

Trust me I felt the same way! I felt sick also the whole 48 hours. Just remember you work hard and no matter you did your very best. I am sure you did well!:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat
