It is official! It says passed on my BON website. I am an RN :) Thanks for all the support everyone!

Wow! Sounds like today was a good day for NCLEX takers. Congratulations all! (However, I can't truly believe it until I see passed on the BON website)

My test shut off in 75 questions, took a little over an hour, and I felt like a complete idiot after! However, I just tried the PVT and it wouldn't let me re-register. Good sign right?

Tomorrow is judgement day for me. I'm so nervous. Send some good vibes my way! Good luck to all my fellow NCLEX takers :)

For the NCLEX, RNs can delegate reinforcement of teaching already performed by RN. I know in the real world LPNs do teaching as well.

I was just wondering if anyone has any memory aids for pharmacology. For example see the link below for chemoman- chemo drug toxicities: http://med-source.blogspot.com/2008/01/have-trouble-remembering-toxicities.html

Remember most people pass the test on their first try (I think 85%). Go into it with confidence knowing that you have prepared as much as you could (and it sounds like you are definitely prepared!). I also take the NCLEX next week, so that little pep talk above was for me too good luck. you'll do great.

I agree with the two alarm suggestion. I take my test next week, and you better believe I will have multiple alarms! Good luck to you! Let us know how it goes.

Here is a little trick I came up with for remembering all the hyper/hypo symptoms related to Addison's and Cushing's: Put the symptoms in alphabetical order minus the hyper/hypo: -calcemia -glycemia -kalemia -natremia Start with Addison's: alphabetically, hyper comes before hypo. the order is hyper, hypo, hyper, hypo (hypercalcemia, hypoglycemia, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia) Cushing's is the opposite: hypo, hyper, hypo, hyper (hypocalcemia, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, hypernatremia). This has helped me on numerous practice questions so I thought I would share.

YAY! Congratulations!

Thanks for sharing and congratulations!

I am taking NCSBN. It is way cheaper than Kaplan. It isn't as great as I thought it would be in terms of content. The questions are good though. I'm using Saunders more for content review.

I'm jealous that you get to take yours on Monday. Mine isn't until the 2nd. I am probably not fully prepared, but I am ready to be done. I wish you luck :) Let us know how it turns out.

NICURN2B: I looked at the exam cram book at my library. I didn't really care for it but others have said it is a good source. 12 hours a day of studying sounds like lot. Remember self care is important too! Try to take some time to do something you enjoy :) and deep breathe! 2/1/12 is going to be a good day for us! Best of luck.
