Here's another trick, Don't pay for quick results, go to your states, office of professions web site and search for your name, it will let you know what your staus is~!

Just, study your lab values, Tyroid and adrenal issues, and infection control, I used saunders to help go over these topics, I hope that helps good luck!~

hello i took the nclex last month and passed in 75 questions. i was sweating and nervous, i new i had failed, the test was just too short and i didn't even make it to the first break! i took the test on a friday afternoon after work. i said forget about it i failed and i will have to take it again, i refused to pay and see that i had failed as i have done before. i went on with my weekend my birthday was that sunday! monday came and something told me to check my sates office of professions to see if my name was listed! i check and there it was, my name with registered professional nurse. i immediately fell off my computer chair and starting praying rubbing my eyes, i couldn't believe what i was seeing. but what i did to prepare was use saunder's cd i did about 150-200 questions a day. it took me a while to realize, you don't have to know everything and get 100% on every quiz, nclex board doesn't expect you to. you need to understand critical thinking and try to figure out what the question is asking and pick the best answer. i found that with medication questions, that if the question is asking about a side effect,the most severe and serious answer was usually right, there were some exceptions, like color of urine etc, those you tend to remember those ones. deligation can be tricky, but just think to your self, what is this patient going to need to have done, and is it something an lpn or pct can do? also, when discharging patients, think are they stable enough to go home. honestly, i don't think anyone can remember exact questions on the nclex. even if they did the odds of you getting that same question is slim, and you may have the same questions with different options! go into the test with a clear mind, it's just a test, you can take as many times as you need to, so don't get your self worked up, i found that me having that attitude the last time helped me pass,i wasn't worried about the test until it actually ended then the anxiety kicked in. at previous times i was nervous wreck, i was worried about every answer i chose, even when i was on a new question i would be thinking about the previous ones and that's no way to take the test. just relax have some confidence and go in there with the attitude your passing. also know your lab values, including ph levels. know about thyroid issues and adrenal gland issues. know a little bit about ambulation and the cranial nerves tests. just know when something can be life-threatening~! i hope this helps, i can remember, checking this web site for something that would give me some insight!~
