Nclex success story!

9 Posts

well the journey has ended finally:redbeathe. i had a hard time and i am happy to report that i passed my nclex first try:w00t: it stopped at like 80 questions. so i thought i would share my journey with yall and it might help other ppl.

i guess i should say i am a lvn/lpn:nurse:

i am 24 hapily married with a 4 year old. i work 40 plus hours in a factory that was not willing at times to help me work at a completly diff career haha. but i did it. i studied during my breaks and lunch. :confused: i went to school right after work and sat there for 5 hrs. on days i didnt have school i studied until 11 or 12 at night only to get up at 530 to get ready for work. :sleep:

I practiced nclex question after nclex question:bluecry1:. i have the saunders comprehensive review nclex-pn examinaton book, exam cram, and all the questions they gave us in the books.

i also made care plans to study for all the diff diseases we went over.

this is also a website that really helped me. i was on this website for 5 days before my test:

so the day i went in i was so nervous!!! i dont think there is any way not to be nervous.and i had no idea about those questions :banghead: i think you should eat even though it was tough i forced down half my oatmeal:scrying: and my stomach wouldnt stop growling. so distracting

go over as many questions 10, 50, 100 you can, i would do 10 every time i got a moment, and read the rationals i think that helped even to know why i got it right. i did one test the morning before my test and the rest of the day i relaxed (as much as i could) you really need to. and just be confident:bow: you made it this far trust in your first answer! any more questions i will be happy to answer them:loveya:
