Hello everyone! you may be reading this because you are about to take your NCLEX RN. You are on the right path. I searched this site alot when I was planning to take mine too. I graduated in May 2016,and passed in 75questions in June 2016. I love reading advices of other people who have been both successful and unsuccessful because there is alot to learn from them.Here is mine: 1. Print and read the Nclex detailed study test plan (ncsbn.org) 2. Get a date for your test ( so you can plan accordingly). I tested about 5weeks after graduation out of which i took a 1 week break 3.PLEASE GET UWORLD!( i just searched them and after the free trial questions, i bought the 30days subscription (60usd))The best decision ever. 4.Print the 35 page study guide(just google it)I read it twice and once a day before my exam. 5.Pray and believe. ( Contrary to what people have said about NCLEX, I had an idea of what each question was talking about so i was able to choose answers plus I didn't walk out of the test feeling like i failed, I felt like I passed. My fear came during the waiting period because i thought the questions were easy even though majority of them were SATA) 6. On SATA, all you need is to understand the process and you will be able to select the correct options, no need for craming.(e.g. if you know your contact precautions, you will be able to select correct options if the question is SATA) Conclusion: UWORLD , 35page study guide, Lacharity(complete all the chapters), Saunders(just for review, like looking up hypo/hyperthyroidism etc),know major labs(K, BUN, Cr etc) a list of need to know labs are in the detailed test plan. Goodluck!
