Thanks everyone!! I woke up and got my results and its official I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did use a kaplan book that was for rn and it seemed to help but i didnt use the online review of kaplan.

It's OFFICIAL!! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took nclex pn yesterday. This was my second attempt.The first time I studied but i was also working alot and very nervous and stressed about the test. I made the mistake of scheduling my test at 2pm and drove the morning of the test. I ended up getting the full 205 questions and lost my train of thought several times. I didn't take the offered break because i thought my computer would shut off soon, but that wasn't the case. I did the pvt and got the cc page which is the bad pop up. When i got my official results i found out i failed i was so disappointed in myself and scared what everyone would think. I was working as a graduated nurse and had to go back to working as a CNA..... There is light at the end of the tunnel!!! In the time i took preparing for the nclex for my second attempt i took about 2 monthes. All of my co workers were wonderful and gave me the encouragement which really everyone was so understanding. I paid $300 and got the hurst review online which i highly recommend. I also studied labs, medications, PRECAUTIONS, prioritizing and little in maternal and mental. I did alot of practice questions that was key to finding out why i wasn't answering questions correctly and Kaplan RN book helped me with answering questions correctly. The night before my exam i drove to my testing site stayed the night in a casino/hotel and relaxed. I gambled a little bit and took a hot bath I reviewed basics but not very much. I mostly wanted to stay calm and keep my mind off of it. The next morning I got up drank coffee which i typically don't do and ate a good breakfast and walked a little bit. I reviewed some content and did a few questions to get my mind going. At 8am i was there and ready to take this test on!! STAYING POSITIVE is key if you think your going to do bad you will you must believe in yourself! I took 2 hours to get to 85 questions and it offered me a break and i told myself i'm taking this in case i get the 205 like last time. I went outside got some fresh air drank a cup of water and went back in. I tried not to worry what number i was on bc i didnt want to get discouraged. I was in the testing room for maybe another hour and shut off at 110-120!! I felt sooooo relieved..During the test if i was losing focus i would stop for a minute and tell myself I CAN DO THIS!!! I want to be a nurse and i'm not going to let anything get in my way! Once my status said delivery successful i tried the pvt and got the good pop up! I get my official results tomorrow so i'm praying pvt is right and i passed!!! Don't let this test over power you!

I just took my pn exam yesterday and I had one calculation problem. I had quite a few questions on medications in general if you learn the prefixes and suffixes that will help alot so you have a general idea what the medications is used for.

I used hurst online review. I listened to most of the lectures to refresh my memory and there are 6 practice exams that are just like the nclex maybe even a little harder. It is 125 questions with 180 minutes. I completed 4 of the 6 practice tests and took boards yesterday and got the good pop up i'll get my official results tomorrow so i'm hoping pvt worked for me! I also studied questions out of exam cram, kaplan RN, saunders, and i did practice tests from a hesi CD i have. The key is practice practice practice the questions. In school i troubled with exams b/c the content of questions but practice makes perfect!! If you want my hurst log in information i can give it to you because i paid $300 for it hopefully i passed so i will not have to use it again!!! I took pn nclex but studied from alot of RN books and i think that helped prepare me better! Hope this helps :)
