Specializes in ICU/CVICU.

So, I'm 9 weeks into my ICU internship and absolutely love it. I received a job offer in February of this year which was contigent on me passing my NCLEX as the system I work for does allow GNs to practice. I graduated on May 11th 2017 and my NCLEX was taken and passed on the 21st of May. had so much anxiety and the good ol' "what if I don't pass?" question racing through my head every five seconds. I didn't think I prepared enough (lack of finances hindered my ability to purchase review courses like Kaplan or Hurst) so my broke ass bought the 30 day u-world question bank and I went through roughly 60-70% of questions in the bank starting on may 1st and passed in 85 questions. When my test shut down at 85 I did the trick and it was indicative of a passing score but I still didn't believe it until I paid for the quick results. So my advice is don't waste your money on review courses, u-world was literally the only thing I used and I passed. I guess that's it for my post :-). I'm happy to answer any questions.
