Passed NCLEX RN!!

[Ana Claudia]

I am so excited!! I took the test on 03/29 (before all the scary changes LOL) and just saw my name on the BON website!!! I studied for about 2 months. I was terrified about getting 265 questions, so i took my time on the first 75 and was praying for the screen to shut of at 75! It worked!! Tons of SATA on my test.. Was not so hard like I thought.. i took the Kaplan course for international nurses and that helped me a lot! Because i graduated in 2005 I forgot so much content! And i graduated outside the US. Another obstacle. So i got the transcripts from my school, passed the TOEFL and now the NCLEX! I believe that everything happens for a reason, and for those of you who are repeat test takers, do not give up!Keep telling yourself that you WILL BE AN RN, and believe it you will be! Good luck to everyone!

Hi Ana, I just want to know if you can give me some tips for TOEFL?thanks

At the TOEFL the part that counts the most is the writing. They will give you a topic and you have to write about it. You have to type fast, the time is limited.. I did lots of practice tests on line, and practiced my speech.. They will give you 2 topics to listen, then you have 30 seconds to relate them.. It was a little hard.. but not impossible! Practice a lot! Good luck!!
