discouraged

The waiting game is terrible for sure. You have done your best, and that's all you can do. Try to stay busy, to keep worried thoughts off your mind. We hope to hear good news back from you soon. Just know that they're many nice people here praying for your success....Stay cool...Later...

You can search these threads and find many answers to your questions, but not all of them are true. The number of questions are determined by the computer, and the test will shut off when the program determines within a 95% certainty that you have either passed or failed. The last question 'rumor' seems to be just that...a rumor. A person can pass or fail with any number of questions. Just try to relax, and wait for your results. That is all you can do. You tried your best and now it's up to that crazy NCLEX test to determine your plight. I failed the first time, but was successful on the second try. Just stay positive, and keep your eye on the prize. I wish you the best...

I did consider changing my name to "Redeemed", for sure...Thanks for the kind words,I do appreciate you all. It's such a nice feeling to be on the other side of that NCLEX test... You guys are the greatest...Thanks again everyone. Later...:)

Thank you for the kind remarks..I love your "goody one shoe" signature..very slick indeed...thanks a lot, and to God be the Glory, Great Works He has done...Yes, AMEN...Peace....out...

Thanks for all your support and replies to people like myself...Your encouragement does not go unnoticed....Take care Bro.

It's official, I now hold the title of Registered Nurse!!! Thanks everyone for your support and great advice during my second attempt at the dreaded NCLEX. I would have to say that the Saunder's review helped me the most, and I am so glad that it's over...for now. Like a glutton for punishment, I am considering my BSN before too much longer...LOL. Take care my people, and thanks again....Man, I am stoked!!! Peace...out...:rotfl:

Thanks a lot for the advice, I really do appreciate it. I'm still trying to study and I hope that I will be ready next week when I go to test. Thanks again for your time in responding to my post. Please pray for me on the 1st of November. Stay cool, and may God bless you and yours... :)

I've read many posts here in the past about which study materials are best for the NCLEX test. I failed at my first NCLEX attempt and I am going to retake the test within a few weeks. I have been studying Saunder's Comprehensive review, and mostly doing the questions on the disk they provide with their text book. I usually do the quizzes on the disk, and review the rationale and correct answers following each 10-question quiz. I also purchased the Kaplan NCLEX review, and have taken the tests provided as well. I'm still just so beat up and discouraged (as my user name implies), and hopefully I am on the right track this time. I usually average around 70-80 percent on the Saunder's disk quizzes, and I have scored 71%, and 78% on my tests on the Kaplan disk. These numbers may sound decent, but I'm still not sure if I can pull this dern NCLEX test off. Also, I have been trying to get my Lab values instilled in my mind, along with the rationale of why levels would be decreased or elevated. My first test had so many unfamiliar questions, that I felt lost even with the study preparation I had attempted. I'll admit that I was burned out from school, and that I just couldn't cram much more in my head prior to my first test. I was a good student, with decent grades, but I just bumped my head that day... Do you guys think I'll be OK with studying the disks? I seem to study longer if I don't have to sit and read out of text books. Also, has the Saunder's and Kaplan review been beneficail to most of you? And finally, is there a site to get average Lab values, according to what NCLEX will be testing on? I have several resources, and several variations as well on 'normal' Lab values. Thanks everyone for your time, and please keep me in your prayers....
