What if you're out of status will they be able to help?

I used mainly uworld, but other materials helped me as well such as the nclex mastery app, Mark audios, even though I didn’t finish listening to it, and the nclex cram sheet. But the best advice I can give you is relax; don’t stress too much about it. Don’t worry so much about the number of questions you’re doing and more about reading and maybe writing down the rationales. When it dawns closer to your date then you can pick up on the number of questions you’re doing so you can build up your test stamina. Good luck, you can do!

For me personally since I was schooled out of state, it took approximately 7-8 weeks for me to receive my ATT. It was so frustrating, I called and emailed but still had to wait. But it gave me more tune to study. After I took my exam my quick results were available within 48hrs. In addition it took about 4-5 days before it was uploaded onto NYBON. My license and certificate arrived about 2 weeks after I passed which was very surprising to me since it took so long to get my ATT.

My advice is slow down! You’re doing too much, you probably should do a content review and then do a question bank, like uworld! I used mainly uworld along with nclex mastery app! Occasionally I would listen to YouTube videos, but it was mainly questions. The most questions I’ve done is 50 a day and that’s it. I would review all the questions by writing down the rationales and rereading them! Sometimes I would do 30 or 25! I would take it slowly and not rush myself by trying to do as many questions as possible. I would take many breaks because I get fatigued so before it gets that way I stop and go on my phone or take a walk! I also read the nclex summary pages that was floating around a couple times and the remar quick facts text book. I hope this helps

How did you study, and what materials did you use?

I honestly don’t think that LTC is the best start for me. There’s not much there and someone advised me that getting a job there isn’t the best move at the beginning of my career. I was also offered a job upstate New York. The starting salary is a little daunting plus I don’t know what it is like up there. I’m a little worried.

Moving is not an issue for me. Which hospital is that if you don’t mind me asking? I just want to secure my future.

It’s hard to get a job with only a year on the OPT. So the employer option is not easy

Have you take your NCLEX-RN as yet?

Does anybody know any agency that are willing to sponsors new nurses for green card? Has anybody gone through that? I came to the US to go to university. I graduated with my BSN over the summer and now I have my OPT through my school which allows me to work in the country for a year. It will expire in July and after that I’m on my own. So I’m hoping I could get an agency or even a hospital that is willing to do the sponsorship. I know the hospital is a long shot and probably won’t happen but I have to remain hopeful.

Good luck to you. It hasn’t been as productive as I thought it would be, it’s been very difficult. They all want me to have experience. The only response I’m getting are from agency that are going to place me in long term care facilities. To be honest that wasn’t my first choice. However, if by the time I get my license in the mail and I don’t hear back from any of hospitals that I have applied I will be forced to take the agency’s job offer..

Just to update you everyone. I passed, paid for the quick results this morning and it said I passed!!! I’m so relieved!! This website has helped me tremendously. My name hasn’t been put up on my state BON, so I’m waiting for that. Does anyone have experience with New York BON, how long did it take them to put your name on the website? I’m so happy and relieved! If anyone wants to ask me any questions feel free.

Thank you so much, you have no idea how much courage you are supplying me with. Even if I don’t pass it means a lot that you responded and is trying to offer words of encouragement. It was the same for me, I stopped getting select all that applied and got plenty of priority question. I started panicking when I wasn’t getting select all that applied because it probably meant I wasn’t doing good. That’s how I felt. When it passed 75 I was relieved because I didn’t think I was doing well so it meant I had a chance to make up for it. But when it cut off at 85, I didn’t know how to feel or think because the questions weren’t that difficult but I didn’t feel I was getting them right either.

I used uworld along with Mark Klimek audios, I listened to other videos on YouTube. I didn’t finish them though. I also used nclex-RN app. I read the packet that was passed around and the cram sheets. I’m trying to remain positive but when I’m reminded of what is at stake I start panicking all over again. The last couple questions I was getting I felt they weren’t that difficult but for some reason I feel I was getting them wrong. How was your exam?

So I took my NCLEX Exam today and frankly I just need to vent because nobody understands what I’m doing through. So I my exam cut off at 85 questions. I got approximately 23 select all that apply, 3 drag and drop, 1 picture, and about 4 calculations.. I honestly don’t know how I did but I can feel it in my bones that I failed that exam. It wasn’t hard to be honest but I think I was too nervous to think through the questions and relax. The questions were so tricky that almost every questions had two possible answers. I know it’s too late now and it makes no sense dwelling on it but honestly I just needed to write how I am feeling. Sigh, I need all the prayers I can get. Also, I can’t do the Pearson’s view trick because for some reason I wasn’t able to register online I had to call them. So here I am a bundle of nerves, worrying my self into a tailspin.
