I took my NCLEX ON THURSDAY 6/23/2016...had 200 questions and didn't pass. Pl...

This is a comment I posted on another NCLEX topic... Decided to make a discussion out of it...

took mine for the 1st time this past Thursday; unfortunately I didn't pass it..

But...as you already know, there are a TON of priority questions. Questions that include, mass casualty scenarios (which one would you save first), different unit trained nurses floating to other units (which pt. would you give to the OB nurse etc...) On my test, I had a lot of AIDS and HIV questions, chemotherapy questions, and maternity questions (my weakest). I should've studied more of my Lacharity, now that I look back at my studying rituals...but I felt like I was doing really well with the SATA's. ( I had 200 questions, and I felt like I only had 25 select all's..) Make sure you study different PPE for different disease processes ( chicken pox, meningitis etc.)

Right before I entered the testing site, I looked at all lab values (specifically creatinine, magnesium, potassium, urine specific gravity, calcium, A1C). It helped because the NCLEX gave different scenarios of a patient, with their lab values, any diagnostic tests, and history...and you have to figure out what needs to be implemented regarding the results...and what the next action will be.

Other than that.... If u have all that down.. You'll do fine. I only had 200 questions out of the 3000 questions from the NCLEX so... All this info might be irrelevant.. But I pray and hope it helps you. Like I said I didn't pass mine..but I don't feel sad or depressed. This test doesn't determine me.. I will do better next time. ️

I am very sorry you didn't pass. If you didn't use UWorld the first time, use it before taking exam a second time. That is my best advice. Uworld!!!

I studied lab values like crazy and didn't have not a one on my test lol. Go figure. Do UWORLD next time and you'll be money.
