Nclex -- Second Time Around

Published

Hey everyone!

I am preparing to take my NCLEX for the second time on Monday. The first time I took it I was rushing to hurry up and get my license after I had many life events going on weeks before, and I really should not have taken it that soon. Honestly, I didn't study as much as I should have and didn't take it as serious as it is. Anyway, I have taken the online hurst review and done the mock nclex exams for it, the first time I took it I made a 64 and the second a 72. I was just wondering if anyone had any advise because I REALLY need to pass this time. I don't think I could handle failing again (nor could my husband). :uhoh3:

To pass with Hurst Review I read through the book Twice to make sure I knew the material and the information I felt unsure about I wrote down notes on to double study I did all the Q reviews The day before I did three my final last test I made like a 97 on by then I had the hang of it but it doesn't matter what you make just do the q reviews Review the rationals and know the info! Best Wishes! If I can help in anyway just let me know!

97 points?? or percent?? I'm currently enrolled in hurstreview too. when i took the qreview, ive got 80 points 64%. I flunked all the SATA question. hehehe I suck in SATA. Thats what I do, read read read, verbalize the topic. Does hurst really helped in nclex?? did u guys use different reference too?

I am using the Mosby's Review Cards and ATI for questions, because I feel that Hurst doesn't have enough to get me used to the material in question form. But, everyone I have talked to that has done Hurst has passed! And everytime I tell someone that is what I am using to prepare they just say, "Oh, then don't worry you will be fine!". So that kinda makes me feel better. :)

Yea it was 97 point don't worry about the percentage aslong as its more than right than wrong on the q reviews its passing same with Nclex. But My whole study Group and took Hurst together and alot of people from my class and we've all passed. But you can't just go to the class ... well some people can but we all rewent through the books and I was the only one that did all the Q reviews. The main thing is know the information then when it comes to Nclex You can think through the Questions and Marlene Tips really Help! main things I had me remember and know was S/S they are good to be pulled from for SATA questions. Also Precautions, the Spidermans thing and some others I Read in the random facts thread I went through it through It really helped cause Nclex is random but NOTHING to be afraid of. Easiest exam I've taken out of all the nursing exams, But only cause I was overly prepared I studied for three months and should have taken it sooner but everyone talking about Nclex andhow scarry it was didn't wanna take it and think was something else I could have studied. Anyways my point is you can do this! Best wishes!
