I received my eligibility letter from CA board of nursing 4 days ago,haven't registered yet in personvue. Anyway, I plan to take it (NCLEX-RN) on August!! And I'm so excited!! To all August NCLEX takers, let's share our thoughts,feelings, and knowledge, as well as review strategies towards passing nclex! I believe having that kind of relationship with others will help us pass the exam!!

GOD BLESS TO ALL OF US!! ^_^

OMG!!! Only 7 more days to go. I know I won't feel 100% ready but wow, I feel like I should move the date another 2 weeks or something. I was looking through my notes and seeing all that I have forgotten. I mean jeeze. Does anyone else feel like this too? I feel like I am going crazy with dread and worry. I sure felt alot better when I took my LPN boards.

Hey all, i took my boards on Fri and like most people felt like crap and was sure i had failed. Well i got my results today and i passed. Very happy. Dont be discouraged, keep the faith and say a prayer and ask God to guide you to the right answer. Also take your time and read the questions twice esp the once which have keywords like best, least, first etc. Good luck ya'll.

Thanks adema12! I'm going to concentrate on taking my time reading the question and keeping in the back of my mind patient safety. I am a rollercoaster of emotions, one minute I'm fine and confident I'm going to pass and then I flip to the other side. Oh well, back to Kaplan.

[Jerzy Girl]

Oh, by the way Congratulations Adema12!!! I hope you have the time to celebrate this great accomplishment in your life.:clpty:

I am going to be taking my NCLEX for the fourth time in August!!! I am doing Saunders Q&A because I find the comprehensive to be too overwhelming. I also am doing NCLEX for dummies, rnquiz.com and an interactive flashcard set I found at Borders today... I hope this helps because third time was not a charm for me High hopes though I did not make it through nursing school only with my good looks :)

[emmylou686]

I LOVE your message. I have never thought about "luck" before but I think you are completly right.. We did not get lucky and make it through our nursing school and we are not going to get lucky and pass the test. Thank you for that, I think that is very encouraging and helpful.

Hi everyone. I am due to take my boards tomorrow. Kind of nervous. Anyway I used Saunders Comprehensive review. I have learned a lot and recommend using it. Anyways good luck to everyone and wish me luck as well.

Hey everyone, I just signed up for this site and I have to say I am hooked already!! ugh.. Congrats to all that have taken their test so far! You give me hope!!!

Well I am about to take my exam on the aug 12, 2008... One week from today. To date I have done 1600+ questions from the saunders (having to get an 85 on each section, for my school), ERI review, another from review from a local university, took the ATI exit and practice exams, and Kaplan. For the last few week I didnt study much and starting last week and this week Im kicking it in to high gear doing questions and looking over stuff. Any advise? I am planning to focus on using Kaplan for the NCLEX. What do you think...

Hope to talk with yall soon:)
