I am a new grad working in LTC and these are meds I see a lot: Lortab, Ativan, Namenda, Neurontin, Metformin, Aricept, Colace (probably the one i see the most), Potassium, Remeron, Norvasc, Renagel, Sertraline, Miralax, Gapapentin, Calcium, Iron, Seroquel, Trazadone, Thiamine, Imodium, Multivitamins, Pletal, Flomax, Albuterol, Vitamin C, valporic Acid, Geodon, Oyst-Cal, Hydralazine, Flexaril, Urecholine, Ticlid, Oxybutynin, Ditropan, Lorazapam, Coreg, Klonopin, Flovent, Zyprexa, Mirtazapine...

Relax. You'll pass this time :)

I thought ATI was pretty helpful. I like how it tells me what my weak areas are, and I made sure I looked at those. According to them, I had a 96% chance of passing on the first try. I did end passing on the first try. Good luck!

I agree with everyone else, just wait for the official results. I know it's not going to be easy, but you can do it! There are a lot of people on here who felt like they failed but they passed. Good luck with the results. I'm sure you did just fine.

You will be in my prayers! You can do it!

Congrats!

I didn't think the NCLEX was too bad myself...Saunders Comprehensive Review 3rd Edition was very helpful for me. I focused a lot on my weakest area which is Maternal/Child nursing and hardly got any questions on it. I think Saunders have some good test taking strategies that helped, like visualizing the answer choices. Answering questions from the NCLEX 3000 site was helpful too. And last but not least, the Random Facts thread on this site, ESPECIALLY the Infecion Control mnemonics! They're awesome!

I am a shy/nervous type of person myself. One of my classmates and even a clinical instructor asked me "How are you gonna be a nurse and you're shy?". Well, I always got my job done, and the patients seemed to really like me during clinicals. I just don't really care what people think of me because they are ALWAYS going to think SOMETHING! I think as long as you are doing your job and doing it right, that's the most important thing. Just be yourself.

Thanks to everyone who posted facts on here. This thread really helped me to pass the NCLEX!

Congrats!! I didn't do too well on practice tests and still passed...

I took the NCLEX PN, got 85 questions, and passed:anpom:

I visit this site daily!!

I haven't found a job yet. I have gotten calls and a few interviews but then they end up going for someome with more experience. I don't have any at all. :-( But I'm not giving up.

I used Saunders, NCLEX 3500 and also the "random facts" thread on this site. They all helped me a lot. There are some mnemonics that were very helpful in that thread, especially the ones about Infection Control. Good luck!

This helped me pass the NCLEX PN!
