PASSED my boards!!! I'm a nurse!

Published

I passed my boards in 75 questions on my first try! Was sooo happy when it shut off at 75, and am even more happy that all of this studying has paid off! Wooohooo! So excited to join the other great nurses out there and begin my nursing career!!!!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to this forum. Lurking on here and getting some study tips definitely helped me throughout nursing school and studying for the NCLEX. I took Kaplan, and cannot stress enough how important it is to do hundreds, if not thousands, of practice NCLEX questions. I mostly did 100-200 questions per day for a month, and reviewed rationales. I feel the practice questions helped me immensely. In qbank I was scoring consistently 62-76% for the past week or so. I believe my question trainers were around 60-75% and my readiness test was 71%. I only used the Kaplan book and question rationales to study content. I probably studied an average of 1-3hrs/day for a month.

I'm so happy to be done, and good luck to anyone who is still studying for boards! You can do it!!!! Time to celebrate for this girl! :)

Congratulations! I also passed (yesterday), and I completely agree about Kaplan. I used the same strategy and I am so thankful I did. I actually ONLY used VATI and Kaplan Qbank/QT. No books. Yippppy!
