KRODD · Oct 22, 2012

For those who tried taking the exam can you pls share the experience while taking the exam? And what are your thoughts about the exam! Pls share your experience and know how blessed you are :) thanks all!

multiple answer

I took and passed the Nclex pn first attempt in march of last year heres my impressions:

-85 questions

-2/3 of the questions were multiple response (multiple answer)

-the anser choices were mixed one intervention, one clarif ect., one obtaina order for...,ect, ect.

-in the questions were very vague not like questions we had in class or saunders,ATI, exam cram, closer to kaplan

-the questions were worded with the vague information...a bolded set of words (need for further, intial priority the the words "follow up"

-30%-40% contained a med i did not know likle alphabet soup

Good luck if your nervous look at the pass rate a chill.

They say everyone must have "LaCharity Prioritization, Delegation and Assignment" they say it's a must have book..

I've read this somewhere not sure if in the same thread but I also found the questions VERY broad but very specific answers. Almost to the point how specific they were made you suspicious...the details in the answers I still am shocked by. Wasn't expecting it at all and passed last month. I passed with 75 and thought it was the hardest test ever. I left my house at 11:30am and was home by 2:15pm. I was shaking!
