i was so scared to fail the nclex that i studied from morning to night for at least 3 months...
when my computer shut down at 85, i knew i passed.... but actually, when i was taking the test, i found the questions very hard--- many questions i have not encountered in my review ..... i just had to do my best and used the strategies in the process of elimination...
i believe that prayers helped me a lot..... i tried my best to attend mass in the morning before i head the library so that my head will be cleared from worries (am a mom of 2 teenagers).... prayers helped me be peaceful and calm--- i needed these so i could absorb what i was studying....
i used saunder's 4th edition cd, i chewed the rationales very well before swallowing and digesting them .... the good thing about the cd is that you can review by category like by Client Needs where there are 4 sub topics, one of them is psychosocial integrity...
after i finished with saunders, i used exam cram which has 1000 questions... like what the book suggested, i reviewed and mastered the cram for 2 weeks..... i did some notes from exam cram which became my nclex bible (i photocopied the "NCLEX PN CRAM SHEET" from the book which was 7 pages... then that's where i put my notes, on the blank spaces of the front pages, and all the back pages.... ---- btw, my classmate who failed the nclex borrowed the notes that i had.... he said it helped him passed the nclex when he took it the 2nd time... aside from this, he reviewed saunders and hogan)
few days before my tests, i was so so nervous, i could feel my heartbeat very fast and strong... my knees became weak.... but the day before the test, i just snapped and became confident --- i accepted my fate, pass or fail..... i said to myself, "i did my best, and if i don't make it, i just have to try again......" ---- you can do it, too!
hope what i shared will help you in some way... good luck!

can i borrow your notes?

Hi! I have taken the Nclex Pn test 3 times and failed every single one of them. I have even Taken 2 courses of Lifesavers review courses, and still.. failed. I graduated in 2005 and til now still havent been able to pass. I keep putting it on hold becuase of how discouraged I am but now I really want to pass it and just move on so I can start my career. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks.
