Nclex in two weeks( feb-14)

Published

Hello! I guess I'm here to read about experiences of people who already went through this very stressful situation as Nclex exam. I have taken Kaplan and my scores started at 50% and went up to 58 % at the end of the course( December) I have been studying really hard since then, I have retaken almost all my tests ( qtrainers) again after a month and my scores went up to 65-75%. Has any of you heard anything similar ? I am so nervous , I guess we all have to go through this.

I am taking the NCLEX on Feb 16th. Happy Valentine's Day to use. I am taking it for the second time, and I know I will pass this time. Good luck to you. I am using NCSBN, Saunders, Kaplan Strategy, and LaCharity Priority and Delegation

I'm taking it Feb 13. We'll be fine :) I'm just doing questions and doing them repetitively (some I've had before) actually help because then I remember the answer and why it's correct. Good luck!

Dont be nervouse, tho its easier said than done. Just do alot of practice questions, esp from the NCBSN website. That site is soooo good. Its just like the exam. Vague questions. I did them everyday.

Thanks for the congrats..... but I'll let you when I get the official. Dont want to do "the happy dance" too early :(...lol... :)

Your scores are improving, so you must be doing something right! Keep it up! I recently took the NCLEX and the main thing I would advise is to have your lab values memorized. A lot of questions you won't be able to critically think through if you aren't sure what the range is for WBC's (for example). Also, take a break! I took one after an hour and it really helped to clear my head. I felt ten times more confident when I sat back down!

The main things I focused on when I was studying were:

Lab values

Isolation Precautions

The different signs (Like Chvostek's, allen's test, koplik's spots, etc)

Common Med-Surg diseases (Definitely Cushings, Addison's, Hirschsprung's, Hyper/hypothyroid, hyper/hypoparathyroid. I ended up getting all of those in my questions!)

Btw, I find out tomorrow morning if I passed or not. (Eek!) But I got the good pop-up from the PVT so I'm 99% sure I passed! :D

Hmm, I haven't done practice questions on the NCSBN website. Where do I go to do those? Thanks!
