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!

Thank you for your inspiring message here.A little boost here and there goes a long way. I will take my exam soon on July 24.I cant describe what Im feeling right now . I am almost done with my saunders cd,been inserting practising kaplan cd questions too.My mind is also set that this will be my first and last take because I already asked from our Lord that I need to pass this test once and for all,and I Believe He will give it to me.To God be the Glory!!
