This is my nclex story. I recently just passed my nclex and I am officially an RN :). I took my nclex the first time right after I graduated nursing school. I really didn't study for nclex this time I did a few question, but I thought I did so great in school, I will be find on this exam. Big mistake. I was shocked and hurt when I failed. I had 265 question, I was close to passing. The second time I took it I used the hurst redemption course and I took the exam. I failed with 75 question. So on the third time I was determined that if I was going to pass this exam I would have to put all of my time into it. So I drop my summer classes and sign up for the Kaplan review and I brought a book called nclex cram. I did 150-300 question each day. Either from Kaplan, nclex cram, or a prioritizing book. I even postpone my nclex because I didn't feel ready. Finally I took the exam and I pass with 83 questions. I want to write this because I know this exam is extremely difficult to pass. But if you really put the time in you can do it. Don't give up. I truly believe if you made it thought nursing school you can make it through just about anything in life . I believe that God has a way of working everything out. Good luck everyone.

Congrats. Did you take Kaplan class or sign up for the exam bank only?
