NCLEX NOTES
i saw a lot of messages requesting my notes and tips.. i am a second attempt test taker and God made me pass at the golden 75th question.. so i would like everyone to pray earnestly and seek HIS help and do hard work and success will surely follow... i had first four categories below passing level and last four categories near passing level and failed at 75 questions.. so you knw how terribly i failed at my first attempt.. the reason for my failure was taking nclex as easy and not taking any review classes.. WHAT i did:: signed up for KAPLAN CLASSROOM EVERYWHERE- 418 bucks..[which really helped me] sticked to the Kaplan schedule and made a ton of notes because as u write things down u are actually registering it in your mind regularly went to the library reading room and spent 8 hours there.. which made sure that i was concentrating on NCLEX and didnt have any distractions.. bcoz im a person who gets easily distracted and tempted to other things im a facebook addict but deactivating fb for my first attempt didnot help me much whereas this time i got a lot of support from my kaplan group on fb read the kaplan book which is available for free on amazon made notes for medications, common conditions and important points and especially labs... i mugged all the values by giving funny names to them and wrote them everyday ignored everything at home.. dint tell my test dates to anyone.. not even my parents or inlaws... ate a lot [healthy and unhealthy things] below are some few links which helped me register some confusing things like 1. immunization schedule . ECG practicehttp://www.practicalclinicalskills.com/ekg-course-contents.aspx?courseid=301 3. youtube cartoon videos on parkinsons and alzeihmers which you will get easily by searching STUDY MATERIAL 1. saunders review book.. read for once but was lot of material..dint help much 2. kaplan - everything helped 3. hurst videos- really helped me to grasp things every easily.. that lady is realy entertaining and you dont feel bored and tired 4. NCLEX 3500 SOFTWARE My schedule solved atleast 100-150 questions a day along with reviewing the questions and finding why i was wrong and after that read some topics which i was weak in donot burden yourself .. and dont try to do 200 and 300 questions becz u wont be able to review all of them in depth and wont have time to do some content did a lot of questions in areas of weakness and made them my strengths.. i went through my notes again and again which nailed them in my brain.. understood the basic mechanism of our body systems and the expected outcomes its ok to be anxious .... till the last minute before the test i was anxious and felt that i havent prepared anything good for the test.. its completely fine.. you wont fail because of test anxiety.. make sure to dress appropriately which makes u feel confident and happily enter the center and smile at everyone.. take lot of breaks .. [i took 4 breaks in 3hrs of 75 Q which was a lot] take a snack and water with you. take headache meds, nausea meds, and diarrhoea meds.. i had a migraine onset toward the end of the test .. thats when i ran and took a break and excedrin.. washed my face with cold water and then i was able to focus back. i viewed the questions looking for whats correct and whats wrong and selected the best answer by critically analysing each one. i wrote the conditions with pathos in the doodle sheet and worked my answer through them. i nearly used 2 doodle sheets and titled them with the verse: IF GOD IS WITH US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US .. which really gave my confidence a boost... im attaching some of my notes here. i dont knw how much they are going to be useful. let me know if any help is required from my part.. i have gone through the feeling of helplessness from failure and completely understand your emotions.. YOU CAN DO THIS !!!!!

Passed nclex 2nd attempt..my exp
I always wanted to write my experience abt NCLEX.. the first thing that worked for me in the first place was GOD.. He dint let me fall... and graced me.. i prayed the most during my study days, during the exam before answering each question, after hitting the next button as well as in each 0f my breaks.. First time i failed miserably at 75 and this time i passed at 75.. HE is definetly a merciful God... SECOND Kaplan really helped.. and during my preparation time i went to the public library and signed up for the reading room.. spent 8 to 9 hts there and ignored all house chores.. thanx to my supportive n loving hubby.. did everything as kaplan wanted me to do and also the hurst videos helped. Used La CharityTOO. stuied for almost 1 and a half month. chose a different center this time...[was really a far one] and repeated to myself.. THIS IS A GOOD DAY TO PASS.. i did all the Qbanks Qtrainers Readiness and diagnostic tests.. dint do the alternate format ones..went through most of the videos. made notes for everything and solved as many questions i could
