Congrats!!! I just found out I am an RN today as well!

I had a similar exam today - mostly prioritizing care, teaching and "which would cause the nurse to intervene" questions. And I agree 100% - ATI was a great prep for the NCLEX. Once I started to see the questions, I thought, "Hmm this is just like ATI!". I think it helped calm my nerves a lot!

My school used ATI from the beginning so I stuck with that. I took the 3 day ATI Live Review Course and also did the Virtual ATI coaching system. Then my ATI coach sent me a million extra practice exams. I Also used Saunders and Exam Cram - but mostly when I was on the go, or too tired to take practice exams. I like ATI a lot and felt that it made taking the exam today much less stressful! I was expecting a lot of difficult questions, but it was pretty comparable to ATI....I also studied a bunch since March and went into hibernation mode this last week....400 questions a day - maybe more. I cant wait for this to be over and have my life back!

I feel the same EXACT way about the guessing! I hope we passed And yes, for some reason....i need to hear it from the BON or PearsonVue.

Congrats!!! Just took nclex rn today....waiting patiently for results! Good luck to all of you taking it next week!
