When retaking the test, did you have to resubmit your original fingerprint receipt and proof of education or CST use the information on hand?

When it came down to the week of my test , i focused mainly on the Q Bank , my goal was to do the Q bank 2 times over , I stopped doing the Saunders book , because its not really about content , alot of it was what are you going to do ,

Always Assess before you Implement , ( if you can go to implement first then go but if you have an assessment that needs to be done , do that first ) if you go right to implement look for the stem in question and then ask yourself if i did this would i cause harm to my patient ? if the answer is YES then you cannot do it , then go to your next answer and then ask yourself why am i picking this answer ?

The other thing we were taught in school and this works if you are stuck , Airway, Breathing, Circulation , Pain and Safety ! Trust me it works .

Ialso used my white erase board that they gave me , I would write 1234 and then cross out ones i could eliminate and then i focused on the two answers that were left and i applied the above technique .

I hope this works for you , go slow it took me 2 hours to do 75 questions and by question 3 i got my first select all that apply .

When it came to meds , and if i didnt know what the med was i looked at the most life threatening and picked that as my answer , i also looked at the answers to try and define what the med was if i didnt know it .

I used Saunders CD and did pharmacology , i would do the quiz ten questions at a time and did 50 just so i wasnt burned out .

the challenge with the NCLEX is choosing the BEST answer ! Its tricking but you can do it .

Trust me I was scared , but as soon as i sat down i made a promise to myself that i would not be returning here to take this test again .

If yo have anymore questions let me know ...

I wish you luck and believe in yourself you can do it . Look at my other post on how prepared !
