Left NCLEX feeling confindent!

Published

Hi everyone! This is my first post, although I came to the site often whilen studying for my NCLEX-RN. I took my boards Friday July 7, and when the computer shut off at 79 questions after less than an hour of testing I actually felt pretty confident. So many people have posted about how they feel so awful when they leave the test but then they pass, and since I felt pretty good about it I started thinking maybe I had failed miserably. This morning I checked the Pearson Vue website and found out I had passed. So to anyone who has yet to take the exam don't freak out like I did if you actually leave the exam feeling okay. I was so relieved to have it done, and had received lots of prioritizing and delegation questions. Just prepare for the exam by doing lots and lots of questions (I read the Saunders Comprehensive Review Book from cover to cover and the Kaplan Strategy book-I actually think if I did it again, which thank God I don't have to, that I would just do questions and not spend so much time on content review) and go in confident in your ability to pass the exam. You've worked so hard during nursing school, and this is just the final step. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats! I know this sounds weird, but I think I'll be so relieved to have it over, I just might feel good no matter what :)

I'm doing thousands of Kaplan questions. Until I'm numb. Counting down the days....
