I would study maybe 3-4 hours the night before a test, but usually never more than that.

as ikaryuu stated, it would be nice to stick to the topic :). those wanting the nclex fact file, 9livesrn has kindly uploaded the file at this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ndsho5k8xii4ni5

I got myself some scrubs (no more nursing school scrubs! :))

Yes please! :)

For those requesting the random facts file, 9livesRN posted it in this thread: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/nclex-tackle-guide-501435.html

Best of luck! :)

Best of luck :)

Thank you! :)

At a majority of my clinical sites, we would have to park at a satellite parking lot and catch the shuttle.

Like I said in another thread, remember to take time out for yourself and that there is a life outside of nursing school :)

The nursing program that California State University San Marcos has does not have a wait list. Instead they use a point system and students are ranked by the number of points they have.

Don't forget to take time out for yourself.

Definitely shoes--they make a world of difference. Your legs and back will thank you at the end of the day.

With Kaplan and Saunders, I did between 3000 and 4000 questions. I passed with 75 questions on the NCLEX.

Here are my 5 facts: 1) +3 pulses are considered normal in children (unlike +2 in adults) 2) Diabetes insipidus--> you pee a lot; SIADH--> you don't pee a lot 3) Most common cause of SIADH is lung cancer 4) Lowest score possible on the Glasgow Coma Scale is 3 5) With total hip replacement, always use abduction (never adduction) and do not let the patient cross their legs (to prevent dislocation)

Congratulations!!

I know of 1 person from my school who solely used ATI and passed. But as caliotter3 stated, it's up to you :)

I took the Kaplan course and thought it was really beneficial. I read over their course book and did the question trainers and Qbank (probably did between 100 and 150 questions per day). I also used the blue Saunders book to do content review and took notes on what I wasn't strong in. The fact-throwing thread on this website really helped me with simplifying facts and learning mnemonics (especially the Spiderman and Mrs. Wee mnemonics for infections). I passed with 75 questions. Best of luck! :)

I used Kaplan (the RN Course Book), Saunders, and the random fact-throwing thread on this forum and I passed

PVT definitely works. Did it right after my exam and got the good pop-up. Found out yesterday that I passed

SATA means "select all that apply"
