Passed the NCLEX

[MelissaMel]

according to the bon website . . . i am now a nurse!! yaaay me !!

i got 220 questions . . . it seemed as if i did not know it . . . it was there, i just worked on eliminating the obviously incorrect ones and then working from there. i got frustrated because nothing on it seemed easy and straightforward. i did thousands of questions and nothing on there was like them. i scored in the 60s and 70s on the kaplan qbank.

my strategy . . don't let it beat me, think critically . . . sort through the muddle and hope for the best. turns out that it worked . . . passed it!!!

it is possible, even when it seems as though it is hopeless and in the middle of the exam i felt like getting up and screaming, so i just took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a minute, opened them, focussed, then got to it, forgetting about the number of questions and just kept going . . . then the machine turned off and i realized that my hands were shaking a bit and freezingly cold. i did it!! you can too.

Really. I thought the NCLEX was straightforward? -_-)

How many SATAs did you got? Congrats! ^_^

I never felt sure of myself at any point . . . When doing the Kaplan and NCLEX 3500 quesions I was confident about some of my answers and iffy about some . . . I was iffy about all of my answers here.

I would guess maybe 20 something SATA most of them back to back, and a lot of unfamiliar Rx.
