Hi AN!!
This is really intended for the COB club, but anyone can chime in...
I came across some review material from back in the day when the NCLEX was still a paper/pencil, 2 day testing deal. Just for kicks I went further and tested myself with current review material in OB and PEDS, two areas that I have very limited exposure to albeit working in ER. I was nervous but actually did pretty good at 85 and 93%
My question is, especially if you have been in HH or a clinic setting for a long time, how do you think you would do with todays NCLEX? Cut off at 75? Run the clock down and still wonder?
Todays NCLEX is supposedly more challenging with graphs/math/SATA, etc. Compared to the area you work in now, what area do you feel you would need to brush up on to pass it today?

I think I would do well. The first (and only) time I took it I felt confused and sad, but I still passed with 75 questions.

I tend to test good so with a few days to hit a study guide I'd guess that I would be fine. I have taken more than a few: LPN, ADN, psychNP, FNP and GRE. :)

I've been in HH since 1988 so I imagine I would bomb some or a lot of aspects of it.
