I have a shot at a good job if I can get my NCLEX test passed pretty quick. I started with studying LaCharity and am averaging about 96% on it. I'm an Excelsior student with all A grades. What do you think? Should I shoot for the test now or wait until I've studied a bit more? I would hate to not get this job if I can, but I also don't wanna take this test twice if I can help it. I'm a nurse in a wheelchair and this job would be a huge upgrade for me.

How do you feel about your readiness in general? Take a stab at it if you feel prepared. At least you would know where you stand. Right now you are really only speculating. If you take the test tomorrow you might be pleasantly surprised, so sign up for a date and do it! Good luck.

If you feel you have a good grip on your content, and are scoring that high with Lacharity, especially with the priority questions in the chapters and infection control..your're good ! I took my exam last week 01/25, I used Hurst review for content review, Lacharity and Kaplan for questions and strategies..because they make you think CRITICALLY!!! Honestly, I felt Nclex was not as challenging as I thought ....I was so SCARED, and so anxious, because all my classmates...Said it was "Hard"! I even reconsidered re-scheduling the exam too. I trusted in God, 1st and foremost !!! I honestly think that, what I studied with...really, really Helped, especially Lacharity, because i was thinking so critically...that I finshed the exam with 75 Qs in 1 hour, had lot's of SATA, 2 drag and drop, pictures,1 breath sound, lot's of priority Qs, infection control, but honestly, i felt like every question I had, especially the SATA were very doable...you can email, and I can help you with content review video...my email: [email protected].. By the way i bridged over LVN-RN in a tradtional program...I'm an RN now :-)
