I took the NCLEX on Sept. 30, 2008 and passed with 75 q's. The best item I used to prepare was the "NCLEX RN made easy". I know many instructors disapprove, however, the questions are direct and to the point, as is the NCLEX. I took Kaplan earlier in May and this got me going in the right direction. However, I truly believe that in order to be successful in passing, you must believe in yourself. You can not go into the test thinking that you might pass, you MUST BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL PASS!!!! There is no room for doubt!!!
