NCLEX JAN 2014

Published

Hi all,

I have been reading things from this site for a long time but just joined today! I graduated from a ADN program in Dec 2013, but I finished classes early and have actually been out of school since Oct 2013. I was an average student mid-high B or C's nothing stellar, I have been doing the Virtual ATI program since then about the 2nd or 3rd week into October until now! I was waiting for the green light but started to feel like I was never going to get it. I worked for the first 2 months for 4-5 hours Mon-Fri studying and doing countless questions and practice tests. I also have the ATI mobile app so no joke I have probably done over 5000 questions. I took another comprehensive exam yesterday and got a 93% chance of passing NCLEX the first time but was denied my green light!! I finally just signed up for my exam I cant wait any longer I figure by now I either know it or I don't! I am so nervous my exam is Jan 23 at 2pm. Am I doing the right thing? Any last minute tips. I have kept a notebook that I have been taking notes in all along as well as all of the assignment my ATI tutor gave me and I figure these next few days I have I will look over my notebook as well as continue to do ATI work (since I haven't told my tutor that I signed up for my exam)

I think you will pass! Ati coaches must get paid by how many days We stay on in pursuit of the greenlight. Im working toward my greenlight and have been since November.

Not a single person in my class got the green light from ATI and they all passed. Even the valedictorian didn't get the ok. I think you will be fine! Good luck. Managing your stress during the test will be half the battle. Stay calm and focused and you will have this behind you in no time:)

hi sorry to hear about the nclex, I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner but ATI exit is not very accurate, if you read the fine print it says 90 percent of the people who get whichever probability rate the test assigned actually get it out of 100 test takers . I got a 99% on the 2010 and 2013 editions of the comprehensive exit. I didn't test yet but I'm looking to do so next month, I say all that to say I'm scared to death and I've been studying like my life depends on it. Go to the ncsbn and download the 2013 test plan detailed it's like a lil study guide for the nclex RN I'm using it to guide my studying I'll write back next month if it works or not! Take care :)

Thanks and good luck to you! With getting the 265 questions I know I was at least close so I have nothing bad to say about ATI. I am going to continue ATI, and I purchased Kaplan's NCLEX-RN Strategies, Practice, and Review, 2013-2014 and I am going to sign up for NCSBN Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination v7.0 5 week program. If these don't help Idk what to do!! 41 days and counting

I STUDIED, STUDIED, STUDIED and took my 2nd NCLEX on Monday, bought the quick results yesterday and found out I passed. Only about 110 questions....also the PVT worked both times!

What did you do to study? I take it in about 3 weeks and so beyond nervous!

Do you have ATI? I continued taking the exams on ATI but at my own pace I just asked the ATI Tutor the tests I wanted to take as I wanted to take them, I watched RN tutor videos that came with ATI, I bought the 3 week NCSBN program, lots of info but the questions were just like the type of questions on NCLEX, and I did the practice tests that came with a Kaplan Book i bought. My advice to you would be find a 265 question practice exam and take it like you would on the actual day of NCLEX. Leave your house to take it, and take it at the same time you normal would. Good Luck! I know it is impossible, trust me I know, but try and relax the days leading up to it....I hope this helps I had a really hard time and am a bad test taker so if I passed its do-able for anyone I am more then happy to offer any help I can so feel free to ask anything
