Congratulations! How did you prepare for the test?

I agree with you. I am angry I didn't pass when I know I should have but we will pass. I am ready to pass this test so if you need any encouragement while studying just shoot me a message. I am also using the Lippincott 11ed. It has some really challenging questions in it, which make me stop and think. Have you used the CD yet? If so what do you think of it? We will succeed!!

Thanks MarkG. I think it is self-sabotage. I know the material or I would have never made it through nursing school with decent grades. I do second guess myself more then I should. I think my anxiety for this test has just increased since I took it the first time. I am working on not second guessing or guessing at all. I have all the material I need to pass so I am going to stay focused and work on my anxiety to pass this test.

I am in Florida. They only allow you to take it 3 times then you have to take a remedial course with more clinical hours and its cost about $2000.00 dollars before you are eligible to reapply to the BON.

MarkG, I am doing ok on the practice test. Some days I am getting all the correct answers and other days I am not. I have cut my hours down to half time at work which is killing me financially because I have kids but I really want to pass. I was really sick the first time I took the Nclex but went anyways to take it.. Big mistake. The second time I really felt prepared but I think when I hit question 180 my anxiety went up and continued to go up with every question after that. I am currently doing the NCSBN practice banks and my scores are ranging between 63 to 90's and I am also doing lippincott - I feel that the rationals are really good even if I am getting a lot of those questions wrong because they are extremely hard.

I will be taking the nclex in 4 weeks and it will be the last time I am eligible. I have taken the nclex twice and got all 265 questions. I could really use some help with study tips and any notes that anyone is willing to share. I have done Hurst review twice (Once in class and once online) and the 45 day remediation which I do not think highly of. I have studied kaplan nclex review book and saunders. I am currently doing the NCSBN online review and Lippincott Q&A. I really want to pass and become an RN.

Tiffany can you please private message me so I can give you my email as I don't have enough points to send you a private message. I take my test the end of this month and can really use all the help I can get. Thank you in advance!!

What Lippincott book did you use?

sorry posted twice.

Congrats!! I am excited and a bit nervous to get started next week. They did say at orientation we need to bring all the books to class each time. I bought a rolling bag. Its kinda like a duffle bag with wheels. I will be trying to get all my books in it tonight.

I just wanted to say congratulations!! I haven't started my first semester yet but I hope to post something like this when I pass.

Congrats! I agree that the night/ weekend program is a blessing. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Congrats to you on being accepted!!! It is so exciting. I didn't realize how much had to be done either or how fast we start classes. I do not work in the medical field. I am currently a Bookkeeper/ Office Manager. Are you currently in the medical field?

I will hopefully be able to say congrats to you when you do get in. I thought that you were already in the program since you said you attended the Palm Bay campus. Good luck to you as well.

Thank you so much! Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I am so nervous to start. I see you have a son, how do you manage your time with him. I am only asking because I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter. I really didn't think I was going to get in this time but I am thrilled I did. I am so happy I do not have to apply again just to get the not accepted letter. Thank you again for the congrats.
