KBRN2011

I cleared my inbox... you can send me a pm. Sorry took so long

I have posted a couple of times here and received positive feedback and met amazing people here also. I graduated May 2011 and took my boards August failed with 180 questions. I took it again December failed 265 questions. By this time I was discouraged and started to think that maybe I was not fit to be a nurse. The third time I received help from diana2050 i believe is her name here and Male Murse who wrote an amazing article here about his journey with the boards. He was very helpful to help guide me and encourage me. June 27 I sat for my boards do or die took my time, took my time, and read each question and answer like 3 to 4 times. I PASSED. I was so excited to see the pop up, paid for the quick result, and got the result saying I passed in the mail. The moral of my story is DO NOT GIVE because I thought a couple of times, "Heck with this I'm going to be a Vegas show girl". My support system wouldn't let me. Do not worry about time because it would hurt you because it did that to me. I rushed every time to take my boards and I failed because I was not ready. I gave myself time in between because there was something I did not understand. Also, you can have all the study material in the world, but if you do not understand the question they are useless. One thing you must remember: UNDERSTAND YOUR TOPIC AND WHAT IS IT ASKING YOU FOR? This doesn't make sense, but as your doing questions you begin to get things wrong and you're wondering why. Ask yourself "Did I get what the question was asking me?" That is the main objective of this exam. Pace yourself esp. on the exam that was my worst enemy I was racing during the exam and the third time around I just look at the questions and I thought to myself that's all it was. One more thing when you sit in front of that exam that when you doing SATA your doing well because isn't true to all people. I got a couple SATA but that is a weak thing for me, so I received a lot of priority questions, diagrams, exhibits, ecg strips. Bottom line it will vary and don't worry if you just the test and answer them the best way you know how. I used Kaplan mainly and must say Kaplan is harder. Studying is individualized and so is the test.... REMEMBER you decided what you get on the test so do your best make it shut off. I know I used Kaplan, but doesn't mean is going to work for everyone so be mindful of that. I hoped this helped and if any questions send me a PM.

Hey thanks for this I did kaplan for the third time Im hoping for the best. Any advice for the nerves my exam is two days away should i do anything much. Trainer 6 70 and trainer 7 66. Im a ball of nerves.

The correct is A because they need a day(s) to rest between tx.
