First week of Oct test takers in HERE!

Let go of your criticisms about how things should have been, and you'll see the magnificent possibilities of now. Let go of your worries about what might be, and you'll be able to focus on all you can do right now.

Stop putting your energy into making excuses and use that energy to take action. Quit fretting over getting it perfect and put your focus on being effective.

You have now arrived at a unique moment that is filled with countless possibilities. You can make something truly valuable out of it.

You have the real and powerful ability to imagine, and then to put that imagination into action. You can call together all you've experienced, and everything that is most meaningful to you, and to create from it all your very own gifts to life.

There is abundance all around you, and with a little focused, determined effort that abundance is yours to enjoy. Choose to connect with the best within you, to make that effort, and to live with true richness.

Get up, get inspired, get moving and get involved in making a positive difference. This is your moment to come fully to life. :up:

oh my golly! i took my nclex exam today and it was horrible (for me). i thought my computer would shut off at 75 just like what it did from my 3 previous exams, but it went all the way around 160. i had tons of prioritizations, medicines, infections, assignments, 4 med calculations, and 4 select all that apply. is this a good or bad sign? geez, i can't wait to see my result.

Hi yall I had all 265 ques again for 3rd time uugh,1st time75, 2nd time 265 uugh and today Oct 19!! I can say alot infection, priority, 3 pharm, 4 math, everything else is a blank right now. Alot of the ques I did know of the top from just looking by using Suzanne plan helped. Some did not make sense but I eliminated all the ones I knew were'nt the answer and chose the best one. All in all it was not bad. Thanks for all the support. Mrs. Matilda RN. I happy that it is over halleluh. A special thanks to God for keeping me calm throughout the test:balloons: keep praying now it is in GOD and sit and wait 48 hr .

Yahoo! Glad you made it, Matilda RN! Now it's time to pamper yourself and forget the books for the meantime. Try to breath and relax..inhale...exhale!!

Hey Matilda just would like to know how did you feel coming out of the testing center? Did you feel as if you knew the material after the 3rd attempt? Did you find the 3rd attempt better or worse than the other 2 attempts?

congrats!!!! how was your exam questions? hope you can share with us your experience

my exam questions, to me, started out on the difficult side. i had over 200 questions. it was just hard for me to get my rhythm. once i did, and realized there wasn't much i could do for my pounding migraine, i decided to hang in there and then, somehow, the answers came quicker and easier for me. i think it was just the thought of finally taking the mysterious nclex had me going at the beginning!

as i mentioned in other posts, i feel kaplan's program was very helpful only if you know content. the test is exactly what is means: you are being tested about your knowledge of your role as an rn-to perform safely and with the background knowledge of knowing what you're doing!

i honestly can't tell you what the questions were specifically, but i did have a pretty even sprinkling of everything-from meds, math, peds, maternity, various disorders, priority, psych, infection control, etc. the answers were not jumping out at me---some were very subtle. this means you need to know your content well. what i mean is, not in fine detail, but know and understand concepts ie, diet for ulcerative colitis, what teaching with pyridium, which ped pt. to see first given 4 with serious illnesses, etc.

hope this helps.

keep studying, reviewing, learning. i tell you, it's worth the title!

the very best to all nclex-rn takers!
