I just took my NCLEX yesterday. I used UWorld because every nurse on my unit suggested it. I only did 900 questions over the month before. I focused on fundamentals. I have been listening to Mark Klimek every night while chilling. for NCLEX I had 77 questions to with over half SATA and had a few SATA with 6 possible answers. I didn't know that existed. I did it in 63 minutes. Won't know results but feel Mark Klimek helped me the most. My community college is tied in with Mayo Clinic and I also work there as a PCA. I assume I passed, but who knows. My mother was in ICU then PCU and now rehab right before test. If I have to retake, my time was well spent with my mother. I will say I studied with an RN buddy the night before and many of the UWorld questions are just worded poorly. My assessment said I was 33% chance being borderline passing. Almost every current nurse said UWorld was more difficult than NCLEX. If I passed I would suggest using UWorld and focusing on Fundamentals. After all Mark says we only need to be a touch under average. If I didn't pass I will eat crow... Assuming you all still now that phrase.

My friends that are nurses say that AP I &II will be the hardest of the whole program. It however is the building blocks.

I am a 40 year old changing careers to become a nurse. I remember the first day of lecture... so hot it the room, not because of the Air not working but every seat was filled. I live in a very medical centered town and so many follow my new path. Now doing lecture I see half or less. I remember reading somewhere 50% of students nation wide drop out or get a C or less. I have a great professor, but skipping is not one of the things you can do to be sucessful. Does he take it easy now, not at all lol. His speech the first day was 10 reasons not to take him. One letter off on an answer gets you 0 points. Brook versus Brooks... I am only in AP One but am taking the same professor next semester. I have friends that are nurses, my primary is a nurse practitioner and they don't recall the things I know now. It is not easy, a lot of memorization. In my school if you get a B you are borderline of getting into nursing program, that is why so many drop. I do find though that lab is the anatomy (what) and lecture is the philosophy (how) at least for me.
