Mysterious -- I'll say a little prayer for you ...

(And now I have that song stuck in my head!)

Well guys, I finally can tell you all: I passed.:w00t: I took the test Monday and I thought I failed , because, even though I got a lot of priority questions, infection control and SATA's, I also got a lot of simple nursing application questions, that seemed very easy to me.

I have read on many threads here on the NCLEX forum , that if you get a lot of easy questions, you probably didn't do so well. So I freaked out, I thought for sure, that I must have been an idiot. I could not tell the pattern that they were talking about either, were you supposed to get harder and harder questions. Don't get me wrong, I definitely got some really hard questions in there, were I felt I played the guessing game.

I studied so much for this test, I read the Saunders book, cover to cover and did all the questions on the CD. I think, I just was so tired of NCLEX questions. After about question number 50, I was so numb, I felt like I was on autopilot and was hoping it would shut of at 75 (which it did, thank God). I was already sure I had failed. What a relief, my name is not on BNE yet. I had to pay the $7.95, I couldn't wait any longer. I had to wait all day for intern class to be over to be able to go home and finally check.

One of my internship classmates on my unit did not pass by the way. She went to UTA. I think we can be glad to have went to ECC.

Thank you God, all glory to You!!!!!

Congratulations, Mysterious One. I knew you could do it. If I could, then I had no doubt in my mind that you would be able to.

Were any 4th semester clinicals done by the end of March? Or before spring break?

I want to say yes, but it was one with a preceptor, and it depended on the amount of days the student, and preceptor worked.

Does anyone have the Nursing Today - Transition and Trends Fifth Edition book to sell? It was not included in our book box that cost $340! GRRRR

Thanks,

If that is the same one for the management class, then don't bother buying it. Just get your access code. I did not even crack the book the whole semester and got an "A". It was a waste of money. I wish I had known. Everything you need is on the website after you have the access code.

It is the same one - it's all online w/ no meetings this year. We got the course code, but no book in the box. It's $49 and after spending $340, that is just money I don't really have....I appreciate the info - anybody else have input on whether or not we really need it?

The online modules basically review the book material. Just be sure to "post" as she requires and do the assignments. To me it was just busy work and filling an extra 2 hours in the curriculum! The only helpful info regarding the BNE and what was needed. It is not as detailed as it seems.....but FYI....if you have a positive background check ( meaning you have been arrested or something like that in the past) it will take you alot of red tape to get through the process!
