wow it seems like a lot of us are getting similar types of questions 'cause i had a ton of those select all that apply, no other sort of alternative format. I hate those things! well, good luck with the results!

i think what ckh23 meant was that an RN cannot delegate a patient/client that requires teaching and or assessment. Unlike Saunders, Kaplan has a lot of delegation and priority questions so that's the only advice i can give ya.

1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? 75 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? I did Kaplan QBank & question trainers for practice of questions- which I highly reccommend b/c they are very similar to NCLEX style. I did Saunders Comprehensive (i did not even go through the whole book for content, I just randomly flipped through the pages and did questions at the back of each chapter). Saunders questions are WAY TOOO EASY compared to the NCLEX... if these are all you do you will be in for a shock when you take the NCLEX. I suggest doing some Kaplan questions. For studying content, I just studied the Kaplan book- much more condensed. The way I saw it was if I studied all of the Saunders... I was cramming at that point (I didn't start studying until 3 1/2 weeks before the test). However, do not pay for the kaplan review course... the strategies they teach did not help! Just purchase a kaplan question book or access to qbank or something.... but that class was terrible. 3. Did your SON offer any testing (ERI, ATI, HESI)? ERI and got a 952 4. How long did you wait for results of the test, or are you still waiting? Waited two days... wasn't too bad... I kept myself very busy. 5. What were your thoughts coming out of the test (total disbelief, certainty you had failed, confident you had passed)? I was pretty scared because I felt like some of the questions were very easy so I thought that meant I failed. I was very happy when I left because I knew that at least that part of it was over, but during the two days I'd get depressed every once in a while because I was afraid it wouldn't be a one time thing. 6. Was this your first attempt at NCLEX? First and last time. I passed!

i got 4 or 5 select all that apply... and i'm sure i only got one right. i had 75 questions so i was pretty freaked out too. and nearly half mine were meds also. but, i passed!! good luck!

very good to make a list of all these... and i suggest you write them down before you start the test! i jotted everything down on the dry erase board they gave me... i did this right before i even started the tutorial.

what else can i say other than CONGRATULATIONS!!! congrats on passing and the baby!!!

congratulations!!! you must feel so amazing right now... isn't it great to finally have it all over?? yay for you

i personally felt that Kaplan q-bank and questions trainers helped. the saunders questions are way too simple compared to NCLEX... kaplan is more up to the difficulty level of what the nclex tested. The strategies that kaplan taught didn't help much though.

i was like that for the whole week. i made sure to not answer any questions the day before and i think it calmed me down. i was more calm that morning than i ever thought i would be. it was hard to sleep though... i only got 3 hours of sleep!

I FOUND OUT 10 minutes ago that I PASSED!!! WHOOO HOOO no words can explain how happy i am! i guess even though i felt i was getting easy questions.... i must've answered enough of those priority ones on top of those... yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

nervous is an understatement! the week of my test i cried every night. i became an insomniac also because everytime i'd close my eyes i'd have material running through my mind. the two days prior to my exam i had nightmares... one nightmare, i ran out of time and the other one i got caught cheating lol. i got night sweats the night BEFORE my exam. it has been the worst 3 weeks of my life! i was a total wreck! i'm waiting on my results right now so i'm a bit calmer b/c the test is over with... but i'm by no means better. so no... you are not alone... try to stay strong... stronger than i was. the good thing is i stopped studying 2 days before and i think it helped b/c i was suprisingly calm the day before... but the morning of the test i was shaking that i couldnt control the mouse lol. i took a deep breath and was able to get calm though.

Hey all I am new here though i've been a lurker for the past two weeks since i felt the dread of the nclex coming upon me. I took the nclex RN today and it stopped at 75. the only question i am positive i got right was the first one my question is... i keep reading on here that people got A LOT of priority... i got my fair share of these, especially towards the end... but i did see a lot of simpler questions... is this a bad sign?? also.. are meds considered analysis/application or are they lower level (non-passing) questions?? and one more.. are the alternate format also application/analysis level questions or are they also lower level questions? i am so happy i live in a quick results state so now i'm just trying to keep busy for two days... i wonder if saturday & sunday count as the 48 hrs?
