I used the NCSBN, took the 3 week review, and I was very pleased with the practice questions. On my test I got many questions I did in the practice tests with NCSBN. I consider it very helpful specially in the review of nursing interventions for the various illnesses/disorders because I was away the nursing field for quite a few years. I recommend you also Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2004/2005 book and CD, it provides all the hints and clues on how to select the appropriate answer, this one helped me a lot too. One last thing I did was practice a minimum of 200 questions each and every during 30 days prior the exam date, including weekends and holidays, non-stop until the day before. I passed the test with 193 questions. Hope this helps Good Luck

Happylush, Thanks so much for your supporting words. This has been so stressful that you have no idea how these last 5-6 weeks changed my life and suddenly yesterday it went back to normal. Thanks to God it is over and a new horizon is showing. Thanks again Best wishes in your career.

Alexandrianna, thanks so much for those beautiful words, they really cheered me up. I feel so happy now. Reading Pass next to my name made me feel like I was born again. It is amazing how a test can put under such stress and change your life completely. But it is over and I am starting new challenges. Thanks for your support and prayers. Best Wishes in your career.!!

:) :) :) :) I PASSED, I CAN'T BELEIVE IT. THANKS TO GOD. Just got the unofficial report, it felt so nice to see PASS next to my name. My soul came back to my body. These 48 hrs wait were endless. THANKS to everyone for your prayers and support. God Bless you all. This is a dream come true. After 13 years away from school I thought it will never be possible. Thanks so much. D

Thanks RNKitty, The waiting cause such anxiety. But I am trying to be positive and leave it to the Good Lord. Thanks for your nice words. Regards, D

Hi Care Bear, Thanks for those nice words. I am half way now, lets see what happens. I am still nervous, its like I can't over come the shock. I will keep you posted. Regards D

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!! :) :) :) Good for you. Now yes, it's party time.

I took NCLEX-RN today. All I can say is that walked out that place feeling like the worst thing on earth. I studied so hard, day in -day out and feel I did't do well, I was guessing a lot on some pathologies, I didn't even heard of. I had 193 questions, about 10 on new format calculation, and lots of priorization, who to assess first, who to return the call first, 1 in disaster, lots of medications, all types of pathologies -you name them. Peds, OB-GYN, DM. This is killing me softly. I don't know what to think, don't know I should cry, run or what. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!! Thanks for your support and sharing. It is so good to know there is people out there sharing the same pain. It really helps.

Relax, I think you did well. You did the best you could, be positive and have Faith, He will help go through this... Best Wishes.

Eric, Just be positive everything will be ok. You did your best. I look forward to read good news from you pretty soon. I will have you in my prayers. I will be taking nclex this friday, lets see how I will do. Nerves are killing me. Best wishes D

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Good job!! Now yes, you can relax and enjoy life. I am sure it feels like taking off a big weight of your back. Best of wishes in your position as RN. :) :) :)

Hi Care Bear, glad to know you are out of that pre-test trauma, now the post-test trauma is on. I'm sure you did well, keep up the Faith. I'll have you on my prayers. I am on the list for nov 05, so lets see what happens, stress is killing me... I'm studying so hard, I don't know what else to do. Pray for me too. Looking forward to read good news from you.

CONGRATULATIONS.....It's party time!!!! I am glad you did it.

Dear Suzanne, Thanks so much for keeping up the communication. Yes, agree completely with you. So I think I will have to wait for the visa screen cert. If you do find the phone # for an attorney, could you please share it with me? Thanks again for your great help.

Wow, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to all of you. I knew you guys could make it. Now my clock is ticking 11/05 is getting close, still have a couple weeks, but my nerves are starting to overreact. I am in a practice, practice, pray, pray mood. Best of wishes in your careers.

Hi Suzanne, Yes I have the TOEFL and TSE completed, have my Credentials evaluated by CGFNS, my visa screen cerfication paper work process was completed (school transcripts,etc submitted) all is pending is to have a pass NCLEX test, which I will take first week in november, for them to issue the certificate. Do you think it will take the same 4 months? Is it true that if my I-94 is expired, I could stay in the US if Iam on adjustment of status? Do you have names of immigration attorney I could contact. Thanks a lot for your valuable help. D

Hey CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best of wishes on your carrer.

Suzanne, Thanks for responding. I actually have a verbal agreement to sign up with an employer, but no contract has been sign yet until I have a pass NCLEX. Could you send me the name (s) of immigration attorneys I can consult with. Thanks a lot. D

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you are done with all that ugly suffering. I am still going through it, and yes it's not easy joke... Congrats...again....Now yes you are RN

Wow, Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure you guys did well, just be positive and don't lose hope. Good for you that you are over that. My test in 11/05 and I'm starting to get nervous as time gets closer. Best wishes for all of us.

Hello Suzanne and everyone out there: I have a few questions I think you may be able to help me respond. - I will be sitting for the NCLEX-RN on November. I am on a tourist visa, my I-94 will expire on 11/24. Do you know if it is possible to request an extention for stay at this time? - Also, if I pass the NCLEX-RN how long does the adjustment of status process takes? - If I have to go back to my country (before the I-94 expires, in order to keep a legal status in the US), from your experience, what is the appropriate time to re-enter the US? Appreciate your help, Regards

UTRN, I am studying for NCLEX too. Never hear about this before. Thanks for sharing this information, it is really helpful.
