I finally decided to make an account after coming to this site almost everyday, for the past several weeks, to research nursing topics. It has helped me greatly and Thank you all for you contributions!
I recently graduated from an ADN program and I am soooo happy and grateful that I was actually able to complete it because it was the MOST challenging experience I have EVER gone through in my entire life. I have to admit, it has been extremely hard to get back to the studying for the NCLEX. It's like my brain rejects the information every time I try to pick up a book and do questions... my brain says: "oh, no not you again." hahaha.... ugh! Never the less, I know I have to prepare for this beast which brings me to this post. I was thinking... Why not challenge some of you who plan on taking the NCLEX late? March/early April 2011? What do you guys think? Maybe we can message each other here by the end of the day and share whether or not you met your daily goal. For example, I have 2 books (lacharity and Davis Q&A) and I plan on doing 100-150 questions a day until my test date. Even if I do 20-25 in increments throughout the day, the point is to do them daily. Then I will come here and share how my day went. That way we can motivate each other through this excruciating journey.
Whaddayasay huh?!?.... I plan on starting this Sunday... Let me know if any of you guys are interested, I would love to motivate and be motivated by you guys... We need to get together and tame this beast! Lets do this!!!!
Hi everyone! Thanks for sharing all your experiences and helpful info in regards to the exam. I am taking mine for the second time on April 27th after 6 months! I am scared to death about it this time. I have been using Davis q and a and scoring in the 60's, rarely get over 65%....=(.
Any advice and prayers would be appreciated and if I pass I will come back and post my long study notes I created over the past month.
God bless you all!
I'll send you happy thoughts! ^_^ I am also taking the nclex same day as you and it will also be my second time around. We will do great! Say a prayer and just stay positive.

Don't worry! I haven't taken my exam yet, but I also have Davis Q and A and you should know that compared to other books, the questionsa are more difficult. I rarely get more than 60% myself, and for not reviewing in so long, I can't complain. Is that the only book you're using? I bought Saunders and it is waaaaaay easier, so I'm mostly using it as a review before taking some Davis quizzes. I am also using ATI and I used to think that was difficult before seeing some of the crap in Davis...it is so much easier now, so I think we will be ok. For example, I took a 30 question quiz on Fluid and Electrolyte / Acid-Base balance in all three today (that's how I'm studying) and got a 66%, 80% and 86% (this one was actually 50 questions) on Davis, ATI and Saunders, respectively. As lousy as my Davis score was, I did really good on the ATI test which is moderately difficult.

Are you doing the ATI 2010? Those have new questions and more hot spots and put in order. I didn't touch ATI for like a month and now my scores have been between 70-80% quite a range of numbers I might say.

No, I took the old 2007-2008 test. I am trying to figure out how to get the 2010 codes. Did you get them from your school?
Ok, just found my codes. I'll take the 2010 test and let you know how I did. But if you're doing that well on the ATI exams, you will be fine. My friend told me she ONLY used ATI and Saunders (and we know Saunder's isn't really difficult) and she said she felt that the actual exam was easier than ATI. Reassuring sign...
Hi! I have LaCharity's book too and would love the online questions. Taking the NCLEX in June and starting focused study-grad in two weeks! :) Let me know if you need my email address!
Thanks!
Could you please send me La Charity online questions link.
