Passed! NCLEX!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I'm a frequent visitor to AllNurses! and now I'm paying it forward. Here's my story:

I graduated from an ADN nursing program on June 10th, the week after we had a 4 day Kaplan review course and on July 7th I took the NCLEX, and now today I just saw my name on the BRN with a license number!! As an official RN! Words cannot describe the amazing feeling I have at this moment.

My NCLEX pearls would be this... Don't stress!!, Pray!! And believe in yourself!!

I used Kaplan for everything and believe it's a perfect study source. I thought kaplan was actually a little harder than the NCLEX, just do as much Q-bank questions as possible, read all the rationales by doing this you get a sense of how they want you to answer the questions and what their looking for. NCLEX is a little more direct in their questions. I recieved alot of priority questions about 10 sata, and about 5 put in order questions. I didn't receive any math. It shut off at about 83/84 not sure because after it passed 75 I stopped counting and assumed I would end up doing the whole 265. After the test I tried the PVT and got the good pop up! And now I'm officially an RN!

There were some questions that were hard and as last resort used the decision tree from kaplan, and regarding content there is no way to know everything so go over the basics and the content review from Kaplan is really good. But I truly believe that going in there confident and calm made the difference. I did it and so can you! Don't give up it will happen!!
