I am a Chinese educated RN and after a long process of paper work, I could finally take my nclex-rn on in the end of Oct. The test was really tough, while I walked out of the testing center, I felt my legs were shaking and I thought I might come back and take the test again. The first thing I did after I went back home was surfing on internate and searching for nclex-rn retaking information. I did Person trick also, and Pearson wouldn't let me continue the re-registration process, then I thought I might have passed it. Later at 5pm, my BON sent me email and said I was officially licensed as an RN! Finally my journey to RN is over, that was really a great relief for me! Here are my strategies I'd like to share:
1. The books I used: Saunder's review, Mosby's, Illustraed guide for nclex-rn
2. I did about 12,000 questions in total and in the final 2 weeks before test, I could get about 80% correct
3. Nerver give up, trust yourself that you can do it!
4.Before the test, know your infection control, normal values, medicine calculations, and be familiar with SATA questions. I did 75 questions and I got 25-35 SATA questions. Those SATA question will make you feel extremely bad, but do not let them make you feel sad while you are taking the test. Just keep going and you can make it.
5. Believe in GOD. This is true, GOD will guide you on the way for nclex because he knows how you can pass it.
