I have decided to write a post about tips for the NCLEX through my experience. I took the NCLEX twice. The first time I failed with 263 questions, and the second time, I passed with 75 questions. The First TimeI was told that this was a very difficul...

Hi Tryingtostudy! Of course, I will be glad to help you with whatever you need! When you are free, send me a message via allnurses.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello charnsuka! I'm so glad that you found an extra boost of confidence and inspiration from my post. Remember you are not alone, and you can do anything you put your mind to! Best wishes! :)

No problem, Happyface888! Thank you for such a kind post!

Hello Mrsmay! Thank you so much! I'm so sorry for the late response. I do hope the exam went well! Haha, sometimes we need to use different colors, simple words, and pictures to help us understand. It's okay! Just as long as it brings us underst...

Thank you so much newgrad111! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Many things do not come easy, but if you put forth the time and effort, you can truly achieve anything. Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much Ellie93! Right now, focus on passing the exams, and classes. Worry about the NCLEX when you cross that bridge. An NCLEX review program sounds awesome. It's great to hear that you are putting it to good use! :) Happy Studying, ...

Thank you for your comment Iferber! Nursing itself is a challenging field, you need to be prepared to take it all in. The many hours of studying, clinicals, and work builds up. It takes a toll. Remember to create a solid network of colleagues and...

Thank you so much for your comment Ivansick! Remember that the only person blocking you from your success is you. Push yourself, and I promise you, you will see results! Best of luck to you!

That's so awesome! You gave yourself a head start! L&D is very exciting, I could see why you would want a job there. Hmm, the 24-contact hr. class is a great idea. It will do wonders on your resume. Networking, even if it's with clinical ins...

Suntan5163, thank you so much for your comment. It brings me great joy that you found my post inspirational! Nursing itself is difficult, and you end up sacrificing your personal life. In nursing school, I rarely saw my friends and family. A lot ...

Omgoodness! That's amazing news! I'm so incredibly happy for you, and early-congratulations! I think you should change your username to LVN2RN. Please keep us posted on your job search, and don't forget to enjoy yourself. You earned it!

Thank you so much purpleshades! Right now, I'm in the process of applying to jobs. I'm sure my next post will be about that, lol. Just remember to relax when taking the NCLEX, and take your time with each question. If you aren't sure what the que...

Thank you so much for your comment Gigi100! I'm glad that you found my post helpful. I wanted to reach out to as many people as possible. It's important for people to know that it's possible to overcome difficult situations. And, it's okay if you...

Thank you so much my4angels! You can do it, believe in yourself, and walk in with confidence. Take your time, and you will be fine. Good luck, and happy clicking!

HURST Review Services does not focus on every topic, it is very selective. Once again, it is impossible to know everything. For extra information and to cure my curiosity, I used Saunders. For every question topic that I did not know, I made it my...

Thank you so much! I definitely will!

Thank you so much Atom2013! I'm glad that you find my post motivational and positive. I'm sure you can pass it the first time. Learn information by doing questions, and study rationales. You can do this, I'm sure of it! Thank you so much. :)

BkShadow, anytime! I liked the questions on PrepU better than the Kaplan questions. They were direct, and to the point, and similar to the NCLEX questions. Kaplan questions were a lot harder, in some ways, longer, but really focuses on critical th...

Thank you for your comment Nathan! You have a lot of time to prepare, just remember to keep studying. It's easy to forget a lot of information if you take a very long hiatus. Practice questions, try to get in the habit of doing a minimum number of...

Thank you for your comment, Nurse2Bee2013. The NCLEX is a scary examination if you make it that way. Once you become familiar with common topics (HURST is a great tool), you will be fine. Practice questions, and reading helps! At one point, I was...

Scrad21, thank you for your comment! Failing the first time sucks, but now you have another chance to prove yourself. You can do right by yourself this time around. Take your time. Believe that you know the material, because you studied, you did...

Love81, I felt this post was necessary for a lot of people. It sucks not having anyone that can relate to your position. I knew I had to do this. Kaplan has a lot of great questions, just try to pick up on the rationales for each. Also, retry the...

SoontobeRNEshun, I'm sure we are not the only ones. But, of course, it feels better when we have someone there who understands our struggles. I wish you all the best, and hopefully you get it this time!

Bkshadow, thank you so much! Just remember to read each question carefully and understand what it is asking you. When you read the choices, refrain from adding in answers, and use the process of elimination. Practice makes perfect! I'm hoping tha...
