Hello everyone i am new to this site. I am getting some good information & good inspiration. I am currently an LPN but I didn't pass RN because of my test anxiety. does any one have any pointer for me! The hardest thing for me was the prioritization & it feels like everything is so jumble. I have been an LPN for 6 years. Thanks in advance

I took my exam this morning with around 110 questions & a ton of SATA! I did the PVT when I got home & got the good pop up. I won't be convinced until I see my actual number on the BON, but I can relax a bit anyways... Good luck & God bless to everyone that is about to take there exam. You can do it!! :redbeathe

I am speaking from NurseHubby2Be point of view. My Fiancee failed it 2X.......i have been through this moster of a battle for over a year with her. She also graduated in 2010. I have sat with her, held her, cried with her but still we got through it. She finally passed today!!! MAY 4TH Yes we tried the trick and YES IT WORKED!!! DONT GIVE UP. I reached out on this site and we were given the advice to try the Hurst review course. I quickly enrolled her and sent her where ever state it was in and I am proud to say it did wonders for her. She told me her self. They broke things down to you and made it so easier for you taking the test. They teach you how to answer the questions among other things. We were also told to review at least 2000-3000 questions before the exam. WE did 2500 questions the month of April. Every night 7 days a week we had Q cards/index cards from B&N and we reviewed them. We had other questions as well. Trust me it works. Dont give up!!! I didnt let her give up and i wont let you give up!! The reward is waiting for you but you got to fight through this!!!!!!! you can do it. She took it 2 days ago and it stopped at 75. She was a nervous wreck when she got home. She cried all night , Next day yelled at everybody, then cried again. She was soooo stressed out!!! She didnt know how she did on some parts of the test. Well guess what she passed and again the trick worked! Dont give up !! you can do it............i have studied with her through all nursing school and all these board test. You can do it but you have to stay positive. Thats the key and also Prayer is always good................All things are possible with him!!!!

Give God the GLORY...TAKE HIM IN THERE WITH YOU AND you will be fine........Faith is the key and preparing yourself before........................Hurst review and questions questions questions questions questions questions questions.........i cant stress that enough.........EVERYBODY WE TALK TO THAT PASSED OVER THIS PAST YEAR SAID THEY DID QUESTIONS QUESTIONS QUESTIONS.......

LAST TWO TIMES SHE TOOK THE TEST WE DID ABOUT 200 QUESTIONS SHE FAILED BOTH TIMES........CUT OFF AT 85 ONCE AND 265 THE OTHER TIME

THIS TIME WE DID 2500 QUESTIONS THE MONTH OF APRIL...............RESULT........STOP AT 75 AND SHE PASSED!!!!!

YES DONT GIVE UP ..........QUESTIONS QUESTIONS QUESTIONS:up::up::up::up::up::up::up::yeah::yeah:: ):)
