Congrats!!

Hi guys, I'm testing on Friday, eeeek!! I have been doing practice tests of varying lengths to try and get an idea of how I will do if I get 75 vs. 265 questions. Well, my average scores are 75 - 78% I was quite surprised that I managed to get a 7...

I wasn't able to download, but if you google it you can find them in slide form.

I did my BSN in Adult Nursing. The common foundation year (first year) included some Peds/OB/Psych theory hours, so when I came over here I just had to take clinical classes - one semester.

I don't think they are mandatory. Most people use them so they don't hear everyone coming and going etc. There is another set of headphones for audio. Good luck

I just checked my quick results, and I passed. I'm super happy.

I had an iPhone app called 'NCLEX QB' which was quite good. Then I used the CD that came with Saunders and NCLEX 3500.

I don't think anyone ever feels ready for the dreaded NCLEX. It's entirely upto you if you want to reschedule, however, if you are still gonna feel the same in a few weeks - you should just go ahead and take it, it sounds like you are getting decent...

Angel 20 - I really found the SATA on the actual test easier than any I had practiced. I even found myself hoping for them coz then I knew I was doing well!

Thanks, I'm really happy. Now to find a job.....

I wouldn't recommend just using Saunders. The questions are easier than the NCLEX and the book really lack priority/delegation questions. It's good for content though.

My NCLEX is tomorrow at 10am. I know I'm supposed to relax today but I totally can't! I keep thinking about possible test topics and then I have to read up on that topic!! I know it's impossible to know everything and I don't think anyone ever rea...

It sounds like you need to take a break and try and relax today. No one ever feels ready and I'm sure you will surprise yourself about how much you do know. Good luck :)

Thanks guys! I am from the UK and have nursed there since 2008, so that really helped with the prioritization/delegation questions. Also, I have probably done thousands of practice questions from multiple sources - iPhone apps, Saunders, PDA, NCLEX ...

NCSBN is all reading. I didn't like the content too much, but the questions were quite good. If content is your problem Saunders is good, but bear in mind that the Saunders questions are easier than the boards Good luck

I reviewed some notes etc, but honestly none of it even came up on my test. I wish I hadn't bothered!! I think six flags sounds like a great plan :)

Congratulations! I'm international too, I certainly is a long process. I test tomorrow.

Thanks guys! Especially GrnTea :) I'm sure I know enough to pass, I just want it over with already! I came from the UK, I've already been a nurse for 4 years, my husband stayed in the AF an extra year so I could sort all of this out. All of this ...

Alicat23, Your post is about the only thing today that has not made me want to puke on my study material. I test on Friday!! Thanks for sharing :)

Well done! Mine is on Friday and although part of me just wants it over and done with the other part seriously thinks I need more time to study! Arrgh!

Thanks for your advice. It's kind of hard not to get caught up in scores etc. One of my problems is that I often second guess myself and then my first instinct is usually right!! Anyway, I just did Kaplan Test 7 and I got a 65%, which is not as hi...

Thanks guys! I'm nervous, I really need to pass first time. Plus, I have been a nurse since 2008 in the UK, so fairly embarrassing if I fail

I think you should be able to get it done in your home country. You have to have it done at a police station or somewhere official. They send a form that you have to get the official to sign. Good luck

The scores of from the NCLEX 3500 program.

CPR certification is different in the UK, it is done as part of your course when you are at university. Then when you get a job they all do in house CPR trainings, usually yearly. As for drug testing etc, they didn't do it when I trained 2005 - 20...
