I took NCLEX-RN today for the first time...

I was surprisingly calm as I answered my 77 questions. I about gave myself a panic attack after I got home and logged into the PearsonVue site to try to re-register. I got the good pop-up! with "delivery successful" I sure hope this "trick" is true!!

You're good! Just try to relax and think about other things while you wait for more definitive results. But I'd say you passed!

hi blink75,

i will be taking my exam on monday. do you mind sharing what type of tests are mostly in your exams? thank you!

[Blink75]

There was a lot of priority questions, like who would you see first, a lot of select all that apply regarding lots of various things, and I would say review your meds (what they are for and side effects) and normal lab values! The only thing I did for prep was the Kaplan Prep course and Kaplan trainers along with qbank questions (3-400 of them). I graduated in mid November of 13, so I was a little worried because I wasn't able to take the NCLEX right away. Good Luck Chesca19, I have another classmate who is taking hers on Monday also! I'll be prayin for you!!

Thank you Blink75!!!

The thing is that I graduated last 2008 in the Philippines and I also have a 7 month old baby. I tried to study as much as possible for the past 2 months but I don't know if that is enough. I have the Kaplan strategies book and read it from page to page, answered all of the practice questions at the back as well as the cd. My scores are avereging from 61-65. I also have the saunders comprehensive review 4th ed.. I hope that's enough. I'm really having a hard time with SATA and meds..
