I Passed! I Did It!

Published

I PASSED!! i found out this morning at 4am........... i still can't believe my name's on the BRN site!! this test - the nclex - it's unbelievable how much self-doubt it can plant in someone! i'm still in shock and i'm still trying to recover from the horrible weekend of painful waiting! it only took them 2 business days to process my results.. which i think is highly unusual for CA BRN.......anyway.. i still catch myself wanting to know what exactly i got wrong on the exam and then i tell myself - who cares? I PASSED I PASSED, it's all that matters...... GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE THAT"S STILL WAITING FOR THE RESULTS AND TO THOSE WHO ARE WAITING TO TAKE THE TEST SOON! please try to not torture yourself with so much self doubt like i did after the test.. try to stay positive and stop thinking about the questions you got on nclex! GOOD LUCK!

:Melody: :biere: and then... :sleep: ...finally!

thanks guys... and good luck to everyone that's still waiting......

hey Paul -

i used kaplan online... the q trainer tests and the q bank are the best way to go in my opinion... do lots and lots of questions and then GO BACK over them and read all rationales, even for the q's you got right. that's what i did.. and i learned a lot without having to re-read any of my textbooks. the rationales will show you why you should have answered in a specific way, so they help you understand exactly what you are being asked for.

about meds.. yes, i got a lot of them on nclex... mostly teaching about them, side effects, when to take them, interactions... what not. there were some i've never even heard of! so i took a few educated guesses there... trying to look at both names of the drug to figure out what it was, what category.. abx, anti-HTN, cardiac...

there is no way you can memorize them all.... so just try to look at the big picture.. categories of meds with common s/e, know the basic meds you always give.... antibiotics and the ones i mentioned above... some psych drugs/categories, l&d drugs.... No matter what you do, you will still have some questions on your nclex that you won't know how to answer..... but don't allow yourself to panic!! the answer is always there, do your best to narrow it down CORRECLTY (i used kaplan test taking strategies for that and the 'decision tree') and don't forget that while each question is important on that test, everyone gets 15 questions that do not count against you. anyway..... you still have a lot of time to study, more than i had.... if you worry about pharm and you happen to do kaplan... just do a bunch of questions on pharm and read the rationales... it all boils down to that.... BEST OF LUCK to you... if you graduated, you CAN do this, don't forget that! :)
