I thought it was hard as %*@(@%!!! It is true what they say, you really do feel like you answered everything wrong!! I was horrified, especially b/c I did not study........I was afraid I blew it by not studying. I was a very good student, so I was confident in what I knew, but the NCLEX is so much more than knowledge, and the questions are different than nursing school. I think as long as you can pick safe answers and prioritize you are okay. I actually had questions that said, "The nurse knows that safe care is being provided when".....then had scenarios about other nurses performing care and you had to pick what was safe care. That was harder than I thought, b/c all the actual NCLEX Cds I used during school were common sense when asking those kind of questions, the NCLEX wasn't. I paid the money from Pearson, and they did not post my status until EXACTLY 48 hours after my test time (tested 0900 Monday, score not up until 0900 today). The BNE still does not show I have a license; I was looking to see if I could find out if I passed that way, but it wasn't there yet! Thanks for the congrats, I am so relieved that the waiting is over! I am sending you good vibes for your test Monday........go do something fun this weekend & relax!

I passed. :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :Melody: :Melody: :Melody:

I am so Happy. Thank you lord for choosing those answers for me. Thank you to myself for working hard and making it. And thank you to this borad for all the support and answering to my questions. I took my exam on 6/6 like some of you. My strategy was to do questions, I did about 1,000 the most. But I focused on what the question was asking, did the answer choice relate to the stem and of course I used my nursing knowledge to critically think through the choices. I only spent 3 weeks preparing. One of the main keys is Eliminate, Eliminate and Eliminate after that evaluate. choose the best choice from what you are given. My exam was mainly priority ques, what would you do first. It wasn't easy but it wasn't terribly hard either, throught the exam I told myselfy you are going to pass this and I kept praying for 75 questions because in my mind I always knew that if you get 75 you most likely knew what you were doing and will pass. I took two hours to complete it because I said to myself you are going to get 75 questions so take your time to answer all of them the best that you can. And vawla 75 quetions and passed, God Is soooooooooooo Gooooooood. Believe in youself as I believed in myself and you will do fine, I always said that I expect to pass the first time around. Good luck to everyone who are preparing to take there exams in the future and Congrats to all of us who are now officially RN's.
