NCLEX-RN after the experience

i just passed my nclex-rn and it feels awesome.

i passed with 75q

as i was taking the exam, i realized that no matter how much i studied or how many questions i practiced... i was not really prepared for it.

to me really this test doesn't test your knowledge, but it tests your logic.

you do have to know a little bit of each disease to pick the answer you think it's right....but no book will ever tell you "pick this pt first...."

i am in no way advertising kaplan. but to me, kaplan was way more helpful than all the other things that i studied. kaplan helped me break down the question and "eliminate" to finally pick the answer i think it's right.

i did feuer, learningext, an nclex book by alice stein....and as i was taking the test...i realized that none of those things were helpful at all.... therefore i used kaplan strategies all the way thru my 75q. i was for sure i failed..... now my name is on my bon and it feels so so good.

i no longer have to take that test, once and that's it!

i prayed to god to please pass me at 75q and god answered my prayer.

now i can have an awesome holiday season.
