June 2008 NCLEX support group

[IamRN08]

This thread is for any upcoming graduates taking NCLEX in June of 2008.

To start off with I would love to hear if anyone is taking Kaplan, or Drexel or other prep courses and why did you choose the one you did? I am looking into them and I am just not sure which one is best and why.

Thanks!

Exercising alot and use my yoga practice to decompress and focus. I have been studying about 6+ hours a day for the past two weeks and am my brain is fried. It has gotten to the point to where I am becoming aphasic, having changes in LOC, increased anxiety and having difficulty making decisions not related to practice tests. Based on this information what would be the most important action for the nurse to take?

A. Administer IM ativan stat

B. Assess vital signs

C. Start IV Lactated ringers with Parlodel piggy back

D. Place client in restraints

:yeah:

What a great laugh!! I really needed that and tomorrow when I sit down to take that test I am going to remember it again so I can start my day with a good laugh. Thanks Again.:chuckle

So here we go... The WAIT... I took my exam today. 5 hours and 15 min... ALL 265 questions... And now... Who knows??? Do you think Pearson will have results on weekends or do I need to wait until Monday or Tuesday?

I am flipping. Today is my third attempt here in good old Florida, so wish me luck... 1st time 190 questions. 2nd time 230 questions, and NOW... All of them. The computer must REALLY be having a hard time deciding what to do with me, huh? hehe... Anyway, pray and wish me luck PLEASE...

Pearsonvue will release results 48 hours after exam even at weekends. Good luck

Hi everyone.

I am having mini panic attacks here. I just took the NCLEX test yesterday. The test shut off at 80 questions. I don't know how I did. I have heard that math are the "easy" questions and that priority questions are the "hard" questions. Well, I had both types of questions. Did anyone else pass who had a a fair amount of math questions?

[selby08]

Wow- I'm off at work for a few days and TONS of people pass!! :ancong!: to all of you (there were so many I couldn't gather all the screen names though!)

And of course there are plenty more still waiting to test or waiting on results! You guys will make it!! If you are waiting to test just be excited that it is almost over! Picture the word passed and practice signing your name with RN after it!!

Keep it up June group!

:yeah:Congrats! I hope you are partying it up this weekend!:yeah:

well the whole broken ankle I have prevents that! lol.

Someone should bring me over a margarita!

Hello All,

I tested this morning and for 52 minutes I was in a total daze. I don't know what I expected but that wasn't it. I had 34-37 SATA and 17 dosage calc. questions. I only had 1 med other than the dosage calc. and let me tell you, a whole lot of the SATAs were infection control questions-like who to room with who and what types of precautions to use. I didn't think it would ever end. I didn't feel like I was being tested on nursing knowledge or how I would react to anything other than a stupid test.

I have heard that the dosage calc. were lower level but if that is true why would I get another SATA after answering one. I thought if you miss a question you either get that level a question next or a lower level.

I am sure that this is one test that I will repeat and I can't even image doing it again. I only knew 4 for sure, without a doubt and that is a horrible feeling because I have talked to many who said theirs was sooo easy.

Sorry to be a downer. the wait is on I guess, I so dread it.

Congrats to all you who have passed. Don't let my stress bring you down.
