First off I want to share my story, I'll try to keep it short and simple, well I started lpn school on Aug 2013 I failed out 3rd semester, so I decided to go back and finish what I started, 2nd time around I hit the books harder and graduated on Nov 21 2015. While in school the second time we had an ATI exit exam to see where we were at, well to my surprise my Nursing director called me into her office and literally told me I had a 20% chance of passing the Nclex-pn based on the ATI results. I didn't know what to do, I was speechless and disappointed with those results, good thing that ATI test didn't count against us. That school I went to went ahead and scheduled our Nclex Pn test date and I had 1 month 1/2 to study for Nclex. I was so scared because of what my director told me, so I rescheduled my test on may 21, 2016. OK so I will share with you the way I studied for it, (remember I only had a 20% chance of passing) Uworld Uworld Uworld!!! I got the 3 month subscription and studied here and there, but for sure did 25-50 questions 4 times a week, I only spent 2hrs a day on those 4 days. Let me tell you something I read those rationales & learned things I didn't learn in school. Read those rationales I can't stress it enough, if you don't understand a word Google it. Well test day came along and I said to myself you got this, this is what you went to school for and sacrificed yourself for. I sat on my chair and blocked everyone out and earplugs in place with headphones on top of that, I could literally hear my heart beat. Believe this when I say this Nclex is very similar to Uworld, I went through those questions like I had already done them, but that's what Uworld did, it helped me prepare especially the rationales. My test stopped at 85 and I had like 13 SATA, 1 dosage & calculations, I could swear on my life I got the 85th question wrong because I looked it up afterwards in my car, so if your test stops at 85 and u get the last one wrong it doesn't mean you failed, so DON'T THINK THAT!!! Well got my results today and I Passed :-D. I also went to my directors office and showed her my passing result and she was amazed. If anyone reading this are barely taking Nclex for the first time or any other times please follow what I said, & you won't regret it. Thanx to Uworld I passed it & of course prayer. I read St. Joseph of Cupertino prayer before taking the exam and has never failed me. Goodluck future nurses you got this. If I did it trust me you can also achieve it.
