December Test Takers Support Group

[wizard100]

So, I finally feel I should not give up......I will be a retaker for 2nd time in December. I felt so low when I failed the test in July'07. I was thinking to take in october but just couldnt get motivated to study. In the meantime, I joined RN-BSN program. So, currently I am in school taking 15 credits of classes. I need to have my RN license before winter so I can do practical in communnity health, a required class for BSN.

After visiting this site almost everyday, reading success stories and encouragement given by one of my wonderful instructor from my ASN program, I am motivated to do it.

So, newcomers as well as retakers, Lets get together, support each other and lets pass the RN test. WE CAN DO IT.

For now, I have started practicing Q&A at least 2 hrs/day from Saunders CD. I will keep you updating and hope you all will share the tips as well.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US. :welcome: TO THE SUPPORT GROUP .

wizard100 & WAstateRN... i know that you both feel really anxious right now. it's so normal to get nervous coz this is a big exam. but i would like to tell you both to try to stay calm & relax as you can. just try to be confident. i don't want your anxiety to get in your way when you're taking the exam. take a deep breath when you feel like you're heart's beating so fast & you feel like your stomach's upset..coz that what i really felt that time. but tell yourself that you're going to be a RN after this exam and pray, pray, pray! Godbless & Goodluck to both of you!

I am back from testing. Goodness, I was there for 5 and a 1/2 hours. I got all 265 questions. Just dont know what to think about. It felt like I went for pharm test not nclex because every other question was about unheard med question. I think pharm is my weak area.....the meds I got were totally knew to me. I got about 7-8 drug ques that I knew for sure, rest is all my educated guesses by elimination. Worst part of all last question was about a unheard chemo cocktail, I am sure I got that wrong. After, 200 my brain started wilting....too many drug questions esp. I got tons of chemo drug and chemo cocktail. My priority questions also focused on cancer patients. I definitely dont feel good about it. Just dont know what to think??? I thought I was doing good until about 160-170 because I was getting variety of questions then i started getting weird drugs that I never heard of and then priority questions on chemo and cancer plus drug to drug/food/herbs interactions on chemo cocktail. I seriously felt like I was sitting to get pharmacy license not nursing.

Uhhh...ghhh...this feeling is worst. Now the waiting begins.

well i will be praying for you, the feeling is normal i think we all come out feeling like we did not know alot of the stuff let us know when you hear something:)

[wizard100]

Is there any hope, I dont think so???? I wish I had prepared for chemo drugs more!!! All I can do is sit and pray now.

[ergito2]

Wizard, I will keep you in my prayer. I think you still have hope because you got so many medication and priority questions. Keep us posted.

I know how you feel. I am going crazy and felt so sick to my stomach after I walked out of the testing center. I sat in my car and cried for almost 20 mins. I had 2 hrs drive back home and I almost had an accident as I thinking about the test whole time. I was there for 3 hrs. My test ended at 96. If I had 265, no way I would have finished on time. I also got about 10-12 drugs out of which I know I got 2 right and 3 were drug SATA. Rest of the drugs were new to me as well. Hope those are the try out ones. I got 2 triage questions and lots of therapeutic communication as well ob/peds questions. I have such a bad headache now.

Everyone, please pray for me as well. Thanks in advance.
