I passed NCLEX-RN!!

Published

Just wanted to share my NCLEX story to give everyone some hope and encouragement. I graduated with my BSN in May, and took May and half of June off. I started studying halfway through June, and took the test on Thursday July 26. The first two weeks, I studied for 6 hours a day. I got over that really quick, and probably did 4 for the rest of my time studying.

First, I watched all of the Hurst videos in order to get my content to where I wanted it to be. I watched the videos and filled out the worksheets. Next, I went through the worksheets system by system and tried to "master" the info on them.

Then I did practice questions from the Davis NCLEX book (about $14 used on amazon.com) that corresponded to the worksheet from the system that I had "mastered". My school made us buy the Davis book, but we never opened it. I was so happy that I peeked inside because the CD had 4000+ questions!

I read over the study guide that I found on this site OVER and OVER again. What do you know...there were a some things on the test straight from the guide! Thank you to whoever posted that : )

The week of my test, I was really anxious and I really started to second guess myself. I postponed the test one more week, and really buckled down. I decided to see what all the fuss was about with Kaplan, so I went to the local bookstore and looked at the Kaplan NCLEX book. I read through the first 100 or so pages to get some test taking strategies. I was glad that I did this, and was able to get some helpful tips for test day.

My test shut off at 75 questions and I was sure that I failed. I couldn't help myself, so I logged into Pearson Vue immediately after to try the "trick". It said delivery successful, and I got the "good" pop-up. Today, I got the official "PASS" next to my name! Good luck to all!!!!

The test was set up just like the books prep us...with a mixture of hot spots, math, select all that apply, and drag and drop (not sure what the proper name is for this). I got a lot of select all that apply.

I tried to read the study guide at least every other day.

Luisafva,

I checked on the FL department of health website, and it was posted in LESS than 24 hours. Heres the website that I went to. Hopefully you can find something similar for NJ! I was literally checking the site every 5 mins, I think I woke up in the middle of the night and checked ; ) haha. Good luck! Hope you find out soon!
