So I told myself that I would post on how I passed nclex. I passed nclex my second try with 180 questions I wont go into detail about the questions because of course that is against policy. But I will tell you how I did it. I hope I can encourage someone!! NEVER GIVE UP!! WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU IS FOR YOU!!!
FIRST TIME AROUND: I used uworld did 1900 questions and did hurst.. These didnt work for me. I didn't have my strategies and content together. I was rushing because I had my job set up and was actually in orientation. But it wasnt my time yet. I failed at 75 and I was crushed!!!!!! I was depressed for a little then got back to my books.
SECOND TIME AROUND: I prepared a lot more. I did all of the lacharity priority questions, the nclex mastery app in its entirety including the 22 quizzes, NCSBN 1300 questions great site didnt use the content just the questions, I made a powerpoint for myself with ekg's and drugs and everything that I felt like I missed. I made flash cards to know my infection control and other material such as different drug classes. I used lippincotts alternate format questions 2016 book because I was horrible with SATA GET THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE BAD WITH SATA!! IT HELPS. I also had Kaplan Strategies 2016 question book that was great too. I felt prepared. I paid attention to detail and read rationales in its entirety.
After the nclex the second time I felt prepared but was definitely scared. I checked my BON the next morning and my license was posted. 4 months of nclex studying and I made it. BSN, RN!!!!!!!!!!!!
