NCLEX RN 2015 MAY

[Buzznurse]

Hi everyone, i just want to share my thoughts of the nclex rn exam. I just passed my nclex rn last may 22, 2015 (friday) with 95 questions here in california. I only had few SATA, 1 med calc and the rest were content and prioritizations. I saw my name on the california breeze just 5days after i took the exam.

My study advice, don't over study. Do practice questions and focus on the rationale! Spend atleast 2-3 hours a day. DON'T FRY YOUR BRAIN! While taking the exam, don't overanalyze and stay on 1 question. Always trust your gut feeling.

You did your best to finish college and am sure you'll do well on your exams! Keep in mind of success not failure.

TRUST IN THE LORD. PRAYER is the only weapon if you feel uncertain and down. IF YOU FEEL IN DOUBT, PRAY!

Also, i keep this on my mind. I finish nursing with a BSN degree and had undergone a ring and pin ceremony. On that very day, i will always remember that i am married in my Nursing profession. Thus, i will not waste a single moment of it rather to try my very best to succeed in this profession.

GOD BLESS YOU!

Congratulations!!! That's wonderful and has to be such a relief. I take my boards June 22. How did you study? :) Would love to hear any tips!

Thank you! Oh sorry, I forgot to mention, i used LACHARITY prioritization, delegation.. THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK! BELIEVE ME. Then i used the kaplan which our school have. Just continue practice doing the questions and understand the rationale. also i downloaded the pdf files of some of the review books like the saunders, lippincots.. :) btw! God bless you on your exam!

Well, i have studied at least 2-3hours a day. When i feel tired, i let myself rest, pray and just watched a movie just to ease the tension. I prayed and prayed everyday. I ask God for Guidance. And i believe in the saying to let go and let God. Try ur very best and let God to the rest and believe me you'll be fine.

Also I meant to ask, how many weeks did you spend preparing? Thanks for all the advice :)

[Buzznurse]

What you have just wrote was very reassuirng I just took the nclex today and i stopped at 95 questions. Prayed, fast, studied, took days off of work. I took my time in a matter of 3 1/2 hours i was done. They say whatever you pray for believe that you will recieved and you will get it. I believed that I will recieve during the trst and i got a few phamacology questions not that much SATA that thought i would and a lot of delegation and priority questions as well. I will just continue to pray.
