I passed with only 75 questions!

Published

After waiting 24hrs I finally found my license online!! I took the Nclex yesterday and it cut me off at 75 questions, I was relieved but then I started to panic! I thought what if I did so bad that it didn't need any more questions to fail me. I had 6 or 7 SATA questions, 2 med questions (make sure you know meds), and 2 med calc questions too. I had several prioritization questions, which had me second guessing the whole time if I picked the right one. My suggestions for studying for the nclex: La Charity book is great for learning prioritization and delegation, I did almost the whole book and it was great review for those type of questions. I also just reviewed with my HESI book that my school gave us and it refreshed alot stuff that I had forgotten. I also had the Kaplan book but I don't think it was as helpful as the Nclex 3500 which offered tons of questions and you could pick what topic you wanted to test yourself on. Overall, the nclex just wants you to think critically and it'll definitely throw some topics at you which you know nothing about. Just relax, take your time, and go with your gut! Goodluck to everybody! :yeah:

Congratualations! Did you find the SATA questions hard? That is going to be my biggest weakness I have a feeling. During school I was always terrible at these. Were they more generalized or did you really have to know little details for the SATA?

I had a couple that were easy, but for the most part I had no idea if I got them right. I had a couple that dealt with topics I hardly knew anything about but they mainly focused on what teaching should provide to a patient with a certain problem. Goodluck!
