Nclex rn how i passed july 2015

[C-dub]

HI EVERYONE I WANTED TO POST HOW I PASSED THE NCLEX RN THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE i SAID ONCE I PASS I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE BECAUSE I FOUND THIS SITE VERY HELPFUL AND ENCOURAGING.

FIRST I GRADUATED THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE I TOOK KAPLAN AND HURST BECAUSE IT WAS REQUIRED FROM MY SCHOOL. I FOUND THE CLASSES HELPFUL BUT I TOOK 2 WEEKS OFF TO MYSELF AFTER GRADUATION. I STUDIED FOR THE NCLEX FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS. I DEDICATED MYSELF TO NOT GO ANYWHERE!!! JUST STAYED AT HOME IN MY CHAIR OR THE LIBRARY AND STUDIED.. I DONT DO THE WHOLE 8HR STRAIGHT STUDYING. I FEEL LIKE WHATS BEST FOR YOU IS WHAT U SHOULD DO..DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE ON HOW YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN STUDYING. MY SISTER IS A NURSE TOO AND SHE STUDIED 8HRS STRAIGHT FOR 3MONTHS TO PASS NCLEX ON THE FIRST TRY TOO..BUT THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME..I STUDIED FOR 5 WEEKS AS I SAID FOR ABOUT 5-6 HRS WITH BREAKS INBETWEEN AND I PASSED WITH 78 QUESTIONS.. MY SISTER PASSED WITH 265..JUST SOMETHING I SHOULD THROW IN THERE..SO IF YOU KNOW HOW U STUDIED THROUGH NURSING SCHOOL FOR EXAMS DO THE SAME FOR NCLEX THATS WHAT I DID.

NOW I USED APPS LIKE MASTERY TO HELP BUT WASNT SUCH A BIG IMPACT FOR ME. I STUDIED MOSTLY KAPLAN QBANKS AND SOME TRAINERS I DID ALL THE SAMPLE TESTS WITH THE ALTERNATIVE QUESTIONS. I DID THE ALTERNATIVE QUESTIONS TOWARDS THE END WHEN I WANTED TO TAKE MY EXAM..MY SCORES RANGED FROM 50-60S ON QBANKS AND TRAINERS AND TOPIC QUESTIONS I RANGED FROM 60-70S. DONT WORRY ABOUT THE SCORES!!! AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS JUST DO ALL THE RATIONALES AND WORRY ABOUT THAT..WRITE IT DOWN IN A BOOK IF YOU NEED TO..I NEVER CAME BACK TO READ MY RATIONALES BECAUSE OF TIME.BUT WHEN YOU ARE WRITING IT DOWN YOU ARE READING IT THE SAME TIME THATS MY BIGGEST HINT TO PASS.. SECONDLY I DID HURST FOR CONTENT IT IS REALLY GOOD..ITS ALL YOU NEED ACTUALLY I READ IT OVER IF I DID NOT UNDERSTAND A TOPIC I READ IT AGAIN AND I WOULD DO THE TOPIC QUESTIONS IN KAPLAN TO TEST MY KNOWLEDGE..I ALSO DID 2/6 SAMPLE EXAMS WHICH ARE ABOUT 125 QUESTIONS EACH FROM HURST (SCORES WAS IN THE MID 70S)..I FOUND THOSE HELPFUL..IT HAS ALOT OF SELECT ALL THE APPLY AND I THINK IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, DO ALL THE SAMPLE TESTS IN HURST..I FOUND IT REALLY GOOD. I ALSO DID THE PDA PRIORITIZATION AND DELEGATION BOOK..IT WAS HELPFUL..I DID NOT DO EVERYTHING IN THIS BOOK BECAUSE OF TIME AND HONESTLY YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DELEGATE..INFECTION CONTROL!!! AND PRIORITIZATION AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO PRIORITIZE I KNOW ITS HARD BUT THATS WHY WE HAVE QUESTIONS..I HAD THE SAUNDERS BOOK BUT DONT READ THIS WHOLE BOOK YOU ARE JUST GOING TO STRESS YOURSELF OUT..ITS NOT NECESSARY JUST REVIEW WHAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THATS WHAT I DID..I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS ITS NOT NECESSARY IF YOU JUST RECENTLY GRADUATED FROM SCHOOL..I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND READING THE WHOLE BOOK IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN IN SCHOOL FOR QUITE SOME TIME..BUT REALLY NOT NECESSARY..I READ HOW SO MANY READ THIS WHOLE BOOK AND IM LIKE JEEZ LOL... AND I WAS NOT AN A STUDENT MORE OF A B STUDENT.. SO PLEASE SAVE THE STRESS. ALSO KNOW YOUR LABS!!..MEDICATIONS IN GENERIC NAMES NOT TRADE NAMES..TRADE NAMES ARE NOT THERE ANYMORE..IF YOU KNOW YOUR BASIC MEDS YOU WILL BE FINE..I KNEW 9/10 OF MY MEDS ON THE EXAM..BUT IF YOU KNOW THE GENERIC NAMES YOU WILL BE FINE..AND I DID NOT STUDY MEDS EITHER THERES NO WAY TO STUDY THEM JUST KNOW THE MAIN ONES AND THE PREFIX SUFFIX AND THAT STUFF.. KNOW YOUR INFECTION CONTROL!!! U MUST KNOW THAT!! I CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH IF YOU WANT TO PASS ..YOUTUBE IT IF YOU NEED TO ..THATS WHAT I DID..I DID NOT HAVE MATH BUT KNOW THAT TOO..ALSO HALF OF MY EXAM WAS SELECT ALL THE APPLY I KNOW I HATE IT TOO..BUT DO ALTERNATIVE QUESTIONS TO PRACTICE.. AND PRAY!!! I AM A STRONG BELIEVER OF MY FAITH..I BELIEVE IN GOD MY LORD JESUS CHRIST. I PRAYED EVERYDAY..AND WITHOUT HIM NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE..I PRAYED TO PASS MY EXAM WITH IN THE 70S QUESTIONS AND I DID WITH 78! BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS WALK OUT THINKING YOU FAILED..I ALSO DID THE TRICK THAT DAY AND GOT THE GOOD POP UP.. AND OH DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WITH THEIR MYTHS AND STUFF I CHANGED MY TEST DATE AND SITE FOR LIKE 3 OR 4 TIMES LOL..I AM NOT SAYING TO DO THAT BUT THATS WHAT I HAD TO DO UNTIL I FELT COMFORTABLE..SO JUST LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND I DIDNT TELL ANYONE WHEN I WAS TAKING MY EXAM ONLY MY GOD KNEW THAT BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO ADD ANY ANXIETY TO MYSELF I DID THIS IN NURSING SCHOOL TO AND IT WORKED FOR ME. SO DO WHAT HAS BEEN WORKING FOR YOU IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY..I ALSO SAID TO MYSELF I WILL PASS AND BE A RN I POST IT UP ON MY WALLS IN MY ROOMS AND JUST PUT IT IN EXISTENCE .. YOU MADE IT THIS FAR IN NURSING SCHOOL AND YOU CAN OVERCOME THIS EXAM.. I THOUGHT THE EXAM WAS STRAIGHT FORWARD COMPARED TO KAPLAN .. I FOUND KAPLAN HARD AS COMPLICATED THEN THE ACTUAL TEST..ALSO ANOTHER STRATEGY TAKE YOUR TIME ON THE NCLEX I SAID TO MYSELF I WAS GOING TO TAKE MY TIME ON THE FIRST 75QS AND I PASSED WITH 78 BECAUSE I WAS NOT TRYING TO TAKE THE WHOLE TEST LOL..BUT DONT RUSH IT SO MANY FAIL BECAUSE I HEAR THAT THEY RUSHED THEIR TEST..LIKE WHY DO THAT TO YOURSELF..TAKE IT WITH EASE AND THINK YOURSELF THROUGH THE TEST WITH ONE QUESTION AT A TIME. I TOOK MY BREAK AT 75Q BECAUSE IT REQUESTED FOR ME TO GO ON A BREAK AND I DID TO CALM MYSELF DOWN..ALSO THERE IS A 35 PAGE STUDY GUIDE THAT FLOATS AROUND ON HERE..VERY HELPFUL ..I READ THAT 2 DAYS BEFORE MY TEST READ THE FIRST PAGE CLOSELY!!! BEST OF LUCK FUTURE NURSES YOU CAN DO IT! HIT ME UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR ENCOURAGEMENT!! AND SORRY FOR ALL THE GRAMMAR MISTAKES WAS IN A HURRY AND PRAY PRAY!! BEST OF LUCK :-)

Caps lock = headache for readers. Congrats on passing though.

[nolanurse88]

Was going to read this until the all caps ruined it.

[Silverdragon102, BSN]

Can we not mention the caps being on again, thanks

[C-dub]

because i rather read a long post in caps..bye!

not for me..and i am not the first to write in caps..and thanks

no headache for me, and i am not the first to have it in caps..but thanks and i actually thought the caps would be better..but i guess not lol

[Silverdragon102, BSN]

Bulletin etiquette says writing in Caps is seen as shouting and ideally should not be done
