It's official! I took NCLEX RN for second time on Dec 17 and passed! My name appeared on CABON website this morning. As promised, here's how I studied. It's a long post. Hopefully, this will help others. I would recommend you find the RIGHT book that...

Go to a bookstore and look through the various NCLEX RN books. Find one that best fit your method of learning. I spent sooooo much money on multiple books----Saunders, Exam Cram, Hurst, NCLEX Made Easy, etc, etc and a whole lot more. It wasn't unti...

Hogan was my primary NCLEX review book and I can say that this book helped me tremendously. I had other books that I used such as Saunders, Exam Cram, Hurst, but only used these if I needed clarification or further explanation. For me, Hogan was "to ...

I don't think they'll allow extensions past the validity date. Keep checking PearsonVue because sometimes slots become available.

https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/study-guide-811514.html#post7141444 This is a 35-page (Word document) study guide NOT endorsed by AN. I read this weeks before my exam (on and off) and again on the evening and day of exam . Good luck! Sta...

It's good to know you've managed to lift yourself up based on your post. I agree...learn from it...and move on. No use dwelling on the negative. I failed my first NCLEX RN exams and used that experience to my advantage by creating a disciplined study...

You have to approach each question independently....meaning...read the stem of the question...what does it deal with? is the problem ABC's, Maslows, does it have anything to do with patient being stable or unstable (what condition is making the patie...

I set a standard for myself....anything 75% or less....I went back to studying content and re-taking NCLEX 4000 and NCLEX 10000 under the same category until I consistently got over 75%.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Way to go, RN!

I brought a drink (to-go cup) and snacks (crackers, sandwich, chocolate in ziploc bag), which must be stored in the locker. During my break, I ate right there in the waiting room in clear view of the Pearson moderators. I did not access my purse at a...

You guys have done an excellent job with this site! Best wishes for continued success!

Ohhh here's another link that details what you can and can't do during test day. Things like when to raise your hand, use of cellphone, accessing study materials, etc. https://www.ncsbn.org/1268.htm

I use to tell my peers (non-nursing environment)...."don't do anything that will haunt you for the rest of your life" or "don't do anything wherein you're going to keep watching your back and wonder if today is the day you'll get caught." It's not wo...

LOL I played with my hair, tissue fell on the floor, stretched my feet while sitting....definitely helped relieve my anxiety. I wore a tank top under my sweater but it was warm inside the testing area. They give you a dry erase (thin) board to write...

What state?

Yeah, they're pretty strict. More than likely there were those before us who have tried to "cheat" and so PearsonVue implemented these strict measures. I, too, had to empty my pockets, removed my hair clip (they gave me a rubber band to tie my hair)...

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

I felt the same way 10 days prior to exam. Take a day off and treat yourself to a nice movie or window shopping (ahhh love retail therapy!). On the day of your exam, make sure to eat well. While taking your exam, READ the questions carefully befor...
