i would like to 1st start off by thanking god, because w/o him none of this is possible:yeah:
this website has been very helpful,:[anb]: especially with everyone's stories,feedback,tips, etc. i graduated may of this year & took the nclex rn sep.15 @1:30pm. i passed the 1st try with 75 questions. i used kaplan online (to stay focused & disciplined), pda (this book is awesome)& basically did tons of questions from many sources daily. kaplan critical thinking questions are the best because it will really have you thinking. i love the q trainers & q bank. i used everything from kaplan. i read the course book & did the "oh so boring videos. lol. the best thing i can tell you guys is to constantly do questions every single day because it will pay off. you have to read the rationales on why it's wrong and why it's right. the 35 page study guide is great and the infection control thingy on here is great. i forgot the names. lol. i did a total of 10,000+nclex style questions from may up until my test date. the day before the test i went out to dinner with my son and boyfriend to help relax me. i want to point out: do what works for you ! what works for one person, probably wont work for the next individual or vice versa. i also viewed nursing students & nurses stories on youtube. i suggest you guys before you take the test to please watch takeitfromg (take it from me: nclex) 5:43 minutes. it's about a guy's experience with the nclex. it helps with nclex anxiety + he is funny:d my test consisted of 75 questions with almost 20 sata, 12 meds, 4 or 5 peds, 3 ob, 3 psych, 1 ekg, 1 calculation, 1 pic, a ton of teaching, conferences, clarify, follow up, priority/delegation, infection control + a good pop up ! :dancgrp:btw: the test looks just like kaplan but the questions are not tough like kaplan, however that is my opinion. lbs. during the test i felt like "wth" but i was able to select the right answer with my critical thinking skills. *sighs* relief. the test is doable but you must put in the time to study. work smart, not hard. i put it in god's hands and the rest is history ! best of luck on the nclex guys & go beat that goofy test. lol. in the end it's only a computer...
sincerely, chastity rn (windy city girl:)) grateful & humbled ! god is awesome
