I took the NCLEX Friday the 13th and found out I passed it on Sunday. Personally, I thought the exam was a lot easier than the HESI we had. I had 75 questions and they got more and more strange. It seemed like just when the questions could not get any more ambiguous, I would get a fairly easy one in another subject. It would then get harder from there...and so on. If I were to give advice on how to study, I would say to study priority questions. To be honest, I used the same technique that I used to pass my EMT test (that I took a year and a half after I completed the course). I just used ABCs and Maslows. I do not think that you can go wrong with that approach, and I know that I am not the the only one to say this. I will say that I did thousands of questions in preparation for my HESI exam (which was about a month before my NCLEX). I hope this helps someone.

Congratulations for passing! :biggringi

I hope this helps someone.

We know you're really trying to help, but is it really necessary to create 5 duplicate threads? :chuckle

Yeah, I am sorry about that. I don't know what the hell happened. I posted this because I got mail asking me to do so. I apolilize about all the threads. :imbar

Congratulations on passing! I hope that you have many happy years as a nurse!! :)
