Good for you guys, almost all of you are from Calif...guess I'm the only one left here in NC (huhuhu). Anyway, if you are starting with your review already...then good luck. Took the first one and failed, now I'm back to studying again. I'm starting now my La Charity book on PDA. Those who can help with more tips, please post more...it would be a great help! We can do it buddies!!! Trust God more!

@Christina, RN-BSN: Do you recommend the Saunders or the Kaplan book? Which do you think is most helpful? (permission to insert text here) :) @shannalim: Goodluck on your exam...think positive. Study hard but pray harder :)

@ursweetpea: Like I said, I only did a self-review. I had tons of review books here and it will be a waste if I don't use them. Besides, there are posted links here where we can have free online review and you can also answer hundreds of questions to keep abreast of the latest nclex questions. Goodluck to you...

@jamalang: I'm in NC right now. k, ill try to follow the site...but just in case, I can be reached here. Thanks for replying :)

@melai12: ill be taking my nclex either Dec or Jan next year. I'm just doing my self-review. By the way, are you in the States too? How about you ursweetpea? Hope to hear from you again. keep posted

enjoyed reading your post here...at least, I'm learning :)

hey guys..kinda interested in your study group but sad to say, I'm very far from you. Wish we could share some notes but yours is almost near (Nov, right?). Anyway, good luck to all of you who are taking nclex this month. Pls. update us too. I'll be taking mine this December or Jan 2012. Keep posted! :)

hey guys..im looking for pinoys/pinays who are taking their nclex soon. I applied in California too but is currently in NC. Hope to hear from u guys ...

hey, i have the same predicament as yours...how do we make friends here by the way? do we have to add or invite them? I need some help here...please! Thanks

Hi there..thanks a lot for sharing your nclex experience. I will be taking my nclex again either december this year or Jan next year and I hope I'll pass too! I am very much interested about the online resource you mentioned for the nclex exam cram.I also had my books for self-review (Kaplan, Lippincott, La charity, Mosby, etc....no Saunders yet). Congratulations on passing the nclex! God bless

hello dear RN's...congrats to all of you who passed their NCLEX. I still have to do mine soon. Hope I could also do it, and I kept reading all the stories here just to keep me abreast of what's happening. Is there a trend of the nclex 2011? I mean almost all takers suggest to read PDA, Safety & Infection control, and lab values. Are those actual nclex pointers for 2011? Thanks for allowing me to post here. Hope to get some more help before I take my nclex. Thanks!

What an inspiring story to tell...Congratulations buddy! I hope I will be able to tell success story when my big day comes too. I'm so glad to have read stories that inspire others. Yours is a story worth telling and your faith rocks! God bless you always... :)

Congratulations for passing the nclex...it's so nice to read success stories from you guys and I love reading it. It also encourages me to do better in my self-review because soon I'll be taking mine too. I took nclex before and sad to say, I failed. I am hoping that I will do better next time and I know I will. Thanks for posting stories like yours, it keeps me going. :)

Hi all! I just took the nclex-rn a few hours ago and I was wondering if you could help me access the PVT. I know that it will take me 4-6 wks before I could get the results (California-BON). Thanks for the help!:)
