Hi there I recently joined this site because of all the wonderful content it contains. In regards to the NCLEX:
1. I had 75 very random questions
2. The study materials I used were the Saunders CD because you can pick and choose what topic and the content area this was the only CD that I used that also had priority and delegation questions which is what they have been testing a lot on. I also used the ERI pre-rn online question site and I reviewed the Kaplan book and took the questions. There are numerous sites online that offer free questions for the NCLEX if you don't want to buy anything.
3. Our SON offered the Hesi which I took twice
4. It was 48 hrs today and I couldn't stand it so i went to the pearson's website and paid for my unofficial results (which said I had passed).
5. Thought coming out of the test: it was the worst test I had ever taken... it was the most random stuff and how was that going to prove what kind if a nurse I was going to be.
6. This was my first attempt... I couldn't have done it without God's help!
Hang in there if you haven't taken it yet! YOU CAN DO IT! :)
