ok here is (hopefully) the short version. I am a student grad of 1994 from a school of nursing here in Ohio. I wrote the nclex twice and failed both times. I stopped and became a stay at home mom. now 11 years later I have decided to take the boards again.
I called the ohio state boards of nursing and thank God there is no limit on years that you have to take the boards....whew! So I have been studying, and studying, and studying, and studying, and STUDYING!!!. I am so tired of studying. It is amazing how much I remember and yet how much I didnt' really learn.
I am using some nclex review books and the Springhouse Nclex review 3000 cd. I ordered the nclex flashcards that have the new format questions too.
and I have a couple questions.....
#1 Is there anyone out there that is or was in my situation?
#2 when taking the test online and such I am scoring anywhere from 74 to 85 % is that good? Does that really tell me anything?
#3 I am taking the sample test on http://www.rnboardreview.com the questions seem almost exactly what I have had on the nclex 3000 cd. Are these the same or taking from the same pool of questions? and are the actual test questions similar?
#4 has anyone had the same questions on the test seems like the actual questions they had on the boards?
Thanks ahead of time for your replys I know this is a great groups I have been reading some really great posts on here for the past 2 days!!
