Passed NCLEX with an interesting twist...

Published

Hi Everyone! I have been a 'silent' member/lurker for a while. I wanted to share my NCLEX experience. I took the test this Monday 4/3.

I had prepared quite diligently for the test. I purchased Saunders after reading such rave reviews and it certainly did a great job in preparing me for the NCLEX content, so thank you Suzanne for your assistance :)

My NCLEX was 75 questions long, *20* of which were the 'choose all that apply' version of the question. One after another after another... i kept getting choose all that apply. It scared me to death! There were a few times I had to take a deep breath and meditate for a few minutes so I wouldnt get discouraged.

I had 3 herb related questions: Echinacea, Yarrow Root, and Black Cohosh. Herbs seem to be a focus.

I had approximately 10 med related questions, specific to when to give a med and what to teach regarding the med.

I had 4 infection control questions. It was actually the exact same question every time with 4 different options to choose from each time that question would resurface. I felt that was bizzare.

The last portion of my test was strictly prioritization... who would you see first.

I had no math questions. I had diseases that I only had briefly seen in passing.... I think the key with the NCLEX is being able to deduce from 4 answers which one is the most sensible.

It was scarey. It was intimidating. It was everything that I expected it to be.

I am now finished... the fear is over... and you will finish too.

Prayers *ARE* answered. God is great... everyone of you will feel this joy very very soon

Take good care all of you and best of luck!:balloons:
