NCLEX - Round 2 .. not so good

Published

Took exam yesterday afternoon. 172q. Lots of SATA, priority, and delegation. 1 med. 2 EKG strips.

I took my time, used the white board, felt really good leaving and then BOOM.....

PVT - Bad pop up

I have used Uworld, Kaplan, Hurst (great for content), and happynclex.

Not sure what to do this time.... I have the usual emotions but they will pass.

The worst is that I did 3 assessment tests from Uworld (I had one left over from my previous subscription) and I got green - high chance of passing.

Any advice on review programs, study courses. etc is greatly appreciated. I live in MA and work full time.

Thanks so much!!

Is actually a study packet that helped me a lot with the nclex rn, and the college had a detailed 7 days video that went with it.

What worked for me was using the La Charity delegation/priority book.

If you're a hard copy book person, please invest in it. READ THE WHOLE THING. 75% of my NCLEX was these types of questions.

I failed the first time using all the above resources.

Reading the La Charity delegation/priority book gave a clearer picture on how I should approach the NCLEX type questions.

When I retook Kaplan, everything made sense. I didn't have to drown myself in content. It was all strategy.

Yes girl! Use LaCharity book!! I was so anxious that I was still answering questions from this book the day before my exam! And I was so glad I did!! When I took the exam, I was getting a lot of patient teaching and follow up questions. But, when the priority questions came in it felt like I was just doing LaCharity questions. I was like wow keep them coming!! Lmaooo. LaCharity book will make you love priority questions. You got this!

Hello!

I know what you went through I failed twice.

I graduated in 2017 from ADN program in MA

At first i used kaplan.. which i received 76 and failed... PVT had a bad pop up

second time, i mainly used UWORLD and failed with 265. although my PVT showed "the registration has a HOLD status."

i had higher chance of passing from UWORLD assessment indictor but failed.. my heart was broken and i wanted to give up..

in two days.. 11/21/17 i will take it for third time....

i only used sanders comprehensive NCLEX-RN Exam 7th.. ... pyramid points, and priority concept chart are really helpful.

also test Strategies were really great. and i really like how the author breaks down the content.

did some online resource questions but not a lot..

but i do not have any confident that i will do so well.

I feel more anxious than before... i already rescheduled twice.. and for sure i will fail again.. i have not been studying a lot because of lack of confident....

Keep trying.. and just like your user name hopefulRN' Let's all hope that we will be a RN!

Good luck!

I passed using Nursing the Lane way DVDs and review book and skyping into her live reviews for free!!!! I was able to text with any questions once I bought her nclex package. Free tutoring and reviews with purchase of products!!! wow!

she explained everything so simple anyone can understand, even non nursing students "get it"!

the bad pop up is when they try to bill your card again, so it says insufficient funds or contact your banking institute. I heard that is the bad one.
