I passed and so excited to share !!
RN nclex passed yesterday @ 8am with 75 questions!
Here is how I did it :
Bought NCSBN 3 week one and did all qbanks (read and understand ALL rationals)
look up what you don't understand.
La Charity Priority Book (about 4 chapters) not case studies.
Memorized labs
NCLEX RN Illustrated Book, w questions online. did as many questions as I could.
Know infection control
I studied for about a full month. 5-6 days a week . 6 hours day. 150 questions a day on average. ( I would drop son at school, go to my college lib and stay until it was time to pick him up)
Sat was a light day with 50 questions and thats it. (at home)
2 days before test I did 200 questions on each day at lib. stopped at 530 pm. I was fried. some peeps take day before off , what ever you feel works best.
Prayed, Meditated daily and watched "the secret",visualized myself in testing room passing, wrote my name with RN in journal. wrote in a journal daily.
Do a quick drive of the testing center a week before, go in and check it out. Talk to check in people to see the "order" of things. Helps !!
TEST Day: Breakfast of egg, spinach, ham sandwich on whole wheat toast. Milk, no coffee (for me no caffeine before a test helps). Left with enough time in case of traffic. I arrived about one hour sat in my car to review labs only. Prayed before test. Believed in myself. Leave cell phone in car!
I covered time and question #s the whole time. Took my own break at 50. Bathroom, Water, breathing, and more prayer.
Started again, I checked where I was about 2x) at 68 I didn't check anymore and figured okay about ten more...and BOOM screen shut off. I left scared, sick to my tummy. Thinking what if???
Results of my passing today at 1230.
Stay positive, I stuck to reading only positive posts here always to inspire. Read motivation quotes, pick one and read it daily before you study and test.
Good luck to you all ,
If I can do it, You can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
