������ I'm officially a NURSE!!! I took the NCLEX on Thursday June 18 and paid for my unofficial results 48 business hours later. It was the best $7.95 I spent!!! I'm still smiling ������!!!
I look at several resources for about one week before I commit to one. The Hurst was excellent because it was straight to the point. Kaplan was good but over my head. However, the pediatric lectures was simple.
Also, I used a study guide I found online (32 pages), which was very helpful. A medication summary (3 pages). Kaplan NCLEX trainer. These can be emailed.
My NCLEX day started out peaceful and I was more excited than nervous. The test offer me a break and I took it. I went into the bathroom and wanted to cry because I felt like I was failing. But I encouraged myself through and went back to complete my exam. I was scared when it shut off at 75!!! It was the hardest test I ever took. But thank God I passed. Inasmuch, I went back and highlighted area that I remember from the exam and to my surprise. 1/3 pediatric 1/3 psychiatric 1/3 delegation... My 3 highest areas I scored high on during school and on Hesi!!!!
3-4 weeks of studying is more than enough!
