After 2 years of trying to pass NCLEX. I can finally say I'm officially an RN. The nurse manager on my floor offered to tutor me as she is starting a tutoring services and wanted me to be her first test subject. Well she introduced me to UWORLD and would always randomly quiz me at work. She helped me get to the bottom of my problem which was using too many resources.
I tested Monday and I had 75 questions. 5 SATA, No EKG or math & 2 hot spots.
Once I stopped fearing NCLEX my dreams became a reality. I start orientation on Friday.

Congrats!
The ONLY thing I used was UWorld. I made flash cards with lab values and studied those every day. My boss who tutored me taught me how to talk myself through the question and really break it down to find the right answer. I prepared for 5 weeks. My weakness is drugs and the ones I got on NCLEX I had no idea what they were. Please please please please know infection control.
