Nclex June 2016

Filipina nurse here saying,I made it.Im officially a US nurse in one take.After 3 months of intensive review (studied 8-12 hours a day) and sleepless nights.Every sacrifices made was all worth it.

I studied various resources such as Kaplan qbank, ncsbn and uworld,Additionally,I used Saunders book,la charity and the 35 pages output.I also printed the Kaplan test (1-7) and some questions that I saw online.

I am a freak,I know,I just wanna make sure that I'll take the NCLEX exam once only.It was tough, especially UWORLD qbank.I almost give up with this. A week prior to my exam,my percEntage keeps on falling. From 50s - low 60s my score became 30s and it makes my anxiety really high.3-4 days before my exam I retook and read the rationales of all my incorrect questions.

Exam day went smoothly,honestly,I didn't feel any nervousness. When I sat down first 10 questions are all basics questions that everybody can answer(atleast in my opinion). My question seems like a pattern ex: Sata,priority,infectious, Sata,priority,then so on. Around 60+ I took my optional break,went to the restroom and did some stretching and jogging in place.When I resume my test,it ask me again for mandatory break which I didn't take and proceed my exam. I went all the way to 80+.

I got panic at first coz the computer shut down and my anxiety kick in.

Adter I signed out,I went to the bathroom and cried really loud.( good thing no one's in the bathroom except me)

The very next day

my name was posted in Minnesota board of nursing website as a registered nurse.

To my fellow nurse,take your time to study,my studying habit might not work for you.Work on your own pace and relax if you feel very tired. Ex:I didn't pressure myself to memorize the laboratory values.Instead,I wrote down all the lab values in a white paper and posted it on the wall in front of me.So every time I look up I can read the values and it really helps.

Goodluck to all of you.
