Nclex RN in October!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi guys!

I graduated from the University of Puerto Rico in 2011 with a BSN, Yep! a whole year and next month I will finally take the NCLEX, it's been a rough journey applying for liscensure in Tx. It was Rough because I am considered an international applicant. Well, that took me a year and in August I got my ATT I was happy and so excited when that email arrived, but shortly after I was terrified that the ATT mean NCLEX! Well to be honest I've studied here and there but it wasn't a full blown study session(so to me it doesn't count like studying),a few questions here, and there & Read some chapters. Now it's been a year since I've been in a health care environment, I feel like I've forgotten all that I learned in nursin school. So naturally I'm panicking. When I read the practice questions, I panic and answer them wrong, when I read the rationale I'm like "DUH! I knew that, why didn't you read more carefully!?"

Anyways, here I am exactly one month and a day until I take this behemoth of a test and I need advice, words of encouragement, anything that will alleviate and help towards passing the test.

study material:

NCLEX Exam and QB by Linda Stanford (app)

NCSBN flash cards

NCLEX REVIEW APP(can't find who made it...maybe not so reliable)

Mosby's RNtertainment: An NCLEX® Review Board Game

Prentice Hall's Reviews & Rationales: Comprehensive NCLEX-RN Review

Thanks guys!

Yes the Kaplan has like 1300+questions. I did all of it. However, the satas there really is no way to study for that. When I did my exam, i had handful of sata and few drag and drops and couple of exhibits and two images. No math or hotspots. All this in 75 questions. Oh yeah I had a lot of priority question (first/essential/report) kind of questions...But i'm still feeling sad and nervous I don't know my result.
Just hope for the best!they say that if you find the exam difficult then thats a good sign because the exam is getting more and more difficult when you are picking the right answer! I wish you all the best!!i think you did great! :)

I think I did well too but it's the inner voice inside me is like making me nervous. Anxiety much???

So you only did questions? I'm getting nervous too since I really didn't open any other book except for Kaplan book, which is more strategies than content. I just can't sit there and read a textbook or review book, but I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot. I have done over 1000 questions so far and my exam is next Tues.

Taking mine on Oct too. I have mixed emotions of excitement and nervousness. It's a big day for us.

Good luck to everyone! May we all be successful! ;D

NCLEX exam @ 8am tommorow. Please keep me in your prayers! Good Luck to all...

Keep us posted

I got it! I pass! Yes!

Congrats! what did you use to study?

Took my exam this AM, computer stopped at 75 questions. I literally felt sick, so nervous now. Will keep you guys updated!

Update: I just did the Pearson Vue trick and got the good pop up, fingers crossed!
