That’s awesome! That was one of the units I interviewed for. I had my second interview last Thursday, so I’m wondering when I should reach out regarding follow up.

Hey guys! 

I wanted to know if anyone that has taken their NCLEX or prepping for the NCLEX has any tips/advice that worked/work for you? I'm very anxious about the test and really want to keep my residency spot. Anything would be greatly appreciated! ❤️ 

My email is: [email protected]

I did the Mark Klimek class thing. I have an old recording from 2009 that has been passed on from cohort to cohort in my nursing program. Only a few of the things are out of date, but a majority of them are fundamentals that never change (like electrolyte imbalances and ABGs). I also did UWorld for practice questions. I took mine at the end of July and passed at 60 questions (minimum questions at the time d/t covid).

The biggest tip he gives is that all you have to do to pass is do slightly better than average. When you remember that, it really helps lift a lot of the pressure off. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PASS! He also has a lot of strategies for answering questions. 

If you are interested in the mark klimek class, I can email it to you.
