How I studied for the 2nd go at NCLEX

[powerofprayer]

I promise myself that I would post as soon as i get my results. This site has been a blessing to me and encourage me a lot while I was preparing for the NCLEX. First I would like to say thanks for all of those who post their strategies for the NCLEX. If you are reading this and it helps you please remember to pass it along. The NCLEX is not an easy test and we all need to support one another. I will list the resources that I used for my 2nd time at NCLEX. First the most important thing is to learn how to handle your anxiety whether it be doing deep breathing exercises, prayer, meditation etc. You will need to be focus the day of the test. I learn this through my second go around of preparing for the test. The first time I studied and attended 2 review classes Hurst and Kaplan. I studied 10 to 12 hours a day without a day off for about 6 weeks I learned a huge lesson do no get burn out. Yes I was unsuccessful and failed. I reevaluated and on the second time I did 8 hours a day with a day off for about 4 weeks. I did the LaCharity questions and case studies, Hurst review, and the workshops from the Nurses project on facebook. I did not use Kaplan because I felt it did not work for me. I am not discrediting Kaplan some of my classmates stated it helped them alot. It just depends on the learning style of the person. My favorite resources that i would say that are a must have or do would be the Lacharity book for questions and a must Hurst Review I enjoyed the videos and the way the material is presented to you to learn and put in your long term memory. I know the if it was not for God I would not be able to give you my victory report. I was calm and at peace and that made all the difference in the world to God be the Glory and I will keep each of you in my prayers and know that you can pass the NCLEX whether you are taking it 1,2,3,etc. times Believe in yourself and speak Passing into your spirit. I pray that this helps somebody and remember to pass it along and be a help to others!

Thank You! I just failed NCLEX my first attempt last Friday 08/15. I was devastated after 6 long hours, 265 questions. I got many meds and SATA. I used Kaplan, scoring 50's-60's. I also used Hurst. I cried for 3 days but thanks to my family, I'm doing better now. I want to Read Saunders, do more Kaplan questions and Lippincott's Q&A. I hope to pass next time. Good luck to everybody.

Congrats to all that passed their NCLEX! I am hoping the trick will work on my exam today. I kept on getting the pop-ups with no credit card information needed. Hopefully this is a good sign for me. I will confirm in 2 more days.
