congratulations and best of luck you in your nursing career :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :Melody: :Melody: :Melody: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

thanks to all....it's a wonderful feeling...feels like a 3 ton elephant fell off my shoulders

Hello to all...... I have found this forum very helpful over the last few months..... many thanks to all I have passed the NCLEX with 80 questions

I studied for 2 months for my exam (took it yesterday...shut off at 80)...I moved into my apartment 3 days before I took this test...there was one question on the exam that I knew only from studying NCLEX questions and not from school....I took a review course..don't know if it helped...I would say if studying for 8 hours a day until you take the test makes YOU comfortable then do it......I was told that the review courses were a waste of $$$, but I didn't want to not do it, take my exam and think "what if"....I can't tell you if studying 8 hours a day from now until you take your exam will be enough...you do what you feel you need to do in order to walk into that test knowing that you did all that you could do to prepare for it...... best of luck

After I sent in the post, I went on and did some more reading....The last question I had was a very easy question which I am not sure if I answered it correctly....now I read in some posts that if your last question is easy that is pretty bad.... any accuracy to that....(gosh I am going to puke)

Took NCLEX this morning...it shut off at 80.....i thought it was hard....I tried wearing ear plugs, but I could hear/feel my heartbeat and that was driving me nuts....I had a lot of priority, delegation questions, about 4 math problems, infection control.... I didn't have any point and click or select all of the above or fill in the blanks.....I am sort of in this funk....like everyone else....I didn't come out feeling confident,,,went home and went to bed....I don't know what to think.....

I got my hands on a Saunders Book today quite unexpectedly and I really like it...I wish I would have had it 2 months ago when I really began to prepare for the NCLEX..... Thanks to all for your input

Dear Already have taken NCLEX folks: I have a goofy question.....Are the questions you did while studying similar to those that were on the NCLEX....style-wise....I am sort of worried that the questions are going to be set up very differently than from what I have been studying (Lippincott, Mosby).... Does this make sense??

Why did it take so long for them to send out the info??? My school had all the grade information, but had to wait until we actually graduated to send out the material. We graduated May 14th, my temporary permit was up May25th and I sent in my application to test May27th......Then I got my att June 20th..... Good luck

I just checked email and my ATT was sitting there....so I now have it....holy smokes.... thanks for all the advice.....

The FBI??? I know we have to have our fingerprints taken at our testing centers, but I didn't realize that the FBI was involved.... :rotfl: I found that mildly amusing.....the FBI...I didn't realize...

Thanks for the tip...i might just have to give the folks at the BON a little buzz tomorrow....

My state board of nursing received my application for examination on May 31 (I sent it certified mail)....someone I graduated with whose last name begins with the same letter as me and who sent her application the same time as I did, has had her ATT since Thursday June 16. (We also live near eachother.) I start work July 11. We are expected to have taken the exam or to be scheduled to take it by the time we start. I just want to get it scheduled. This waiting is making me sick. I really don't want to call my BON to find out what happened, but should I? Who knows what happened to it. Should I wait or call......I know it takes a while to get it and I don't want to be a pain in the rear and maybe it's a blessing that I don't have it yet, but maybe it fell behind someone's desk or something, maybe the mailperson dropped it...:-) If my friend hadn't receieved her ATT I probably wouldn't care, but if they had it at the same time, why don't I have mine.....Thank you

I saw that you are from PA....are you starting at HMC??? I am in the boat...I start orientation on July 11th...I want to take this wretched thing before do I can rest a few days before work starts....

This is what our professor-in-charge told us.... you have a better chance at passing NCLEX if you: 1. Have never had to repeat any nursing courses 2. Aren't sliding by with C's in your nursing courses 3. Have above a 3.00 in your nursing courses
