My NCLEX experience

hello everyone, i thought that i would post for all who have yet to take the nclex rn. i was terrified and stressed about passing the test, but i did some things that i feel really improved my confidence:

1. first, i prayed and asked the lord to help relieve my anxiety before i took the test.

2. i followed suzanne's recommendations and used saunders comprehensive (the only book that i would purchase). i did 3000 questions and read all of the rationales.

3. days before i took the test i would always tell myself i am going to pass this test and take it once, period.

4. i looked over the most common herbal drugs such as garlic, saw palmetto ect.

5. i took my time when i was taking the exam and continued to refocus and use the abc's and maslows.

6. i was shocked when i passed at 75 questions, but really doing a mix of saunders questions: go to: study mode, then cognitive level, then:analysis

the nclex wants you to be able to critically think; you learned all this information in school, you just have to practice questions to learn how to apply it. you can do it!
