Passed NCLEX-RN today PVT good pop up

[Roli]

I passed the NCLEX today 2nd try...Thanks so much to allnurses.com for the amazing and supportive community members on here who encourage, and uplift and advise! I used the Prioritization and Delegation book by LaCharity, I also used the Kaplan NCLEX-RN strategies, practice and review book for 2010-2011. The Saunders book by Linda Silvestri was also really helpful for content.

Thank you, rodmarkq!

Well, to make long story short: I got my nursing education in Ukraine, evaluated my credentials here in US, met all the requirements with Texas BON and they allowed me to sit for NCLEX-RN, but since I didn't practice as RN within the last 4 years I have to take a refresher course (120 hours of theory and 120 hours of clinicals) in order to get a permanent License. That's my BON's rules.

[rodmarkq]

oh wow, well at least you got the hard part done...passing the nclex. Goodluck with your refresher course, I'm sure you'll breeze right thru it.

You are right! The main step is done! Thank you again! Best of luck to you too in your Nursing Career!

It works!! It's absolutely TRUE!! I took my NCLEX exam yesterday and was scheduled for 2pm. I arrived early and was able to start my exam at 1:45pm. I walked out of the Pearson Vue Tampa location at 3pm. I was cut off at 75 questions and I was petrified!! I felt like I guessed on 80% of the questions. I had 25+ SATA ( Select All That Apply ) and multiple choice questions ONLY!! I didnt have any hot spot, audio, or medical dosage questions. I

figured I did something wrong and immediately started to freak out. I have never been one to feel that uneasy about a test. I graduated from college with honors and to leave that building that way made me feel awful. I have never experienced a test like that before. I studied for over a month using ATI, Saunders 2011-2012 w/cd, and Kaplan 2011 w/cd. I have a few friends who have already taken the NCLEX-RN exam and passed and used the PVT as indicators. I figured why not give it a try I couldnt sleep anyway. I did it the 1st time at 6am this morning and got a " good pop up", by the end of today I have gone back and received 3 additional " good pop ups". So im keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow and pray these results coincide with the PVT. I want to be a true believer lol

Congratulations! I also just passed the Nclex RN using the same materials :))

I took the nclex yesterday and i took 263 questions out of the 275... i felt horrible about it but i felt like the last question i got right, so i felt that was a good sign if it shut off on a right answer...well my pearson account says that my test was submitted and then it didn't do the "good" pop up, it took me to the credit card page. I entered my info but it wouldnt let me pay... does this mean anything or did i still fail? please help im shaking like a leaf!!!!!

[vanniey]

SATA refers to Select All That Apply. All the best. Took mine yesterday and I got about 23 SATA with 265 questions and I used all 6 hours. Did PVT and I got the good pop up but I don't want to raise my hopes up. I will find out tomorrow.
