[chelysa21]

Hello, I just recently joined allnurses.com because I am needing help from my colleagues because I have taken nclex twice and havent been successful. Ive used Kaplan for content and their QBanks to practice questions. Am really not sure where am lacking because when i get the results from the BON the 8 categories are near the passing standards. I recently purchases the brilliant nurse review, has anybody used it and was successful. Any suggestions are welcomed. Am just burned out and ready to pass nclex and leave it behind me. Thank you everyone that takes alittle of their time to comment on my post. God Bless.

My school used Kaplan and I had no choice but to continue using it. I finished all the question trainers and most of their qbanks. I took the nclex in June and failed with 135 questions. I decided it was time to get a different studying material because I hated Kaplan to the core. The rationales were lacking in so many levels. I purchased Uworld and studied for a month at the library. Everyday I would do 75-100 questions for 6 hours Mon-Fri. Any topics I felt that were important I would write down. At the beginning of my fourth week, I finished the whole Uworld. Then I read the 35 pages study guide that was posted on thistle website, paying special attention to the infection control. I memorized the lab values and 2 days before the exam I reviewed my notes. I wrote the exam at 8:00 am, took a quick break at 70 questions. My computer shut off at 75 questions. I felt confident this second time than last time. It was much easier that's because I knew my material well. 2 days later my results were posted, I passed. My advice to you is to focus on one good studying material. Having so many studying materials will just going to confuse you. Take your time on reading the questions and the answers. I finished 75 questions in 2 hours. Good luck to you! If I can do, you can too.

UWorld! It is the BEST program out there. After I graduated I felt completely unprepared to take the nclex. I purchased UWorld and completed 1700 of the 1900 question test bank.

Took my nclex and passed in 75 questions. The UWorld webpage looks exactly like the nclex. The rationales are amazing! It truly prepares you to test. When I sat down to take the real thing, I felt like I was taking another UWorld practice test and it truly felt easy. I owe my license to this program!

Thank you MyGodIsGood and hhlg13 for taking the time to comment. I will definitely look in to buying and sticking to one review because I feel that there are too many out there. I am doing practice questions every dayto try to do as many as I can. I do not want to rush this next time I take nclex. I am going to make sure I complete the whole review do as many practice questions and pray to God that I pass. Its just very frustrating you guys have been in my shoes, and I congratulate both for your successful achievement on passing boards!!!! Praying that one day I will too hold those credentials!!!
