I just received my ATT to test today... I am scheduled to take the NCLEX on February 8, 2010 which is about 3weeks.... I would like for anyone who is scheduled to take NCLEX in the month of February to share their stories and stradigies for preparing for NCLEX exam..... We can accomplish this together...
I am using NCLEX 3500. the Saunders CD & textbook as my resources.... I do 150 question in test mode each day... I use my school's library as my focal point for studying because being at home for me JUST DONT WORK:eek:. I love it because my schools' library has open access to alumunae graduates.... I know this may sound korny but I can't wait to take it... I know we can ALL do this together...
WE MUST STAY CALM, CONFIDENT, FOCUS, & POSITIVE on this journey to becoming an official RN:nurse:
I was thinking about doing the NCSBN thing, can someone tell me if it is just questions or is a review also??
I am reading Saunders and doing questions everyday. I'm just having a hard time staying motivated, so I figured if I did a structured online review it would keep me more focused. I've taken Hurst last summer, and was thinking about doing their online review as a refresher. I just didn't want to sign up for NCSBN and Hurst at the same time if they are both comprehensive reviews.
I just scheduled my testing on feb 2. I think I will pass out. I am so scared. I have been doing Saunders but I feel like I don't know anything. I feel lightheaded!!!:chair::sofahider:barf01:
I just finished the Saunders comprehensive review and I scored 79%. Maybe I have a chance. I can't wait for this to be over. I am so sick of tests. When it's all over, I intend to take a day and do nothing, just stare into space.
I don't know if there if one for PN, I just searched around the internet and came across this one..so maybe just search for it and hopefully you'll find it. Though it does seem that most review courses are for both RN-and PN, I'm not certain though!
I take my exam on Feb 8th... I have been using Kaplan review book with CD, and I also went to a testing site and I took a 50 quest. test for free. I got a 73 or 74%... I believe they recommend an 80... also I signed up for a free online review for test taking stradigies, etc. in addition... I am doing questions from NCLEX 3500 100 - 150 questions, and I am half way through the Saunders book.... Today, I decided to take a little break and start back again on Saturday at my school's library.... It tends to get overwhelming sometimes... I don't know much about Hurst review... But if you can check Kaplan out... they have some freebies available.... Hope this helps.... :)

Thanks. I actually created the study guide; basically patched together bits of info from a bunch of the NCLEX threads.
