HELLO THERE! Hi there once again i would like to say thank you for this website, thanks for all the admins and my co-members! This such been my support on all my nclex/nursing related problems and issues, ive learned a lot from previous post and experiences and now its my turn to share mine.... First thing i would like to inform everyone that iam from california A BSN graduate in the philippines and also iam an RN there, but never had the chance to take the NCLEX RN exam due to inconcistensies with the schedule of our lecture to our clinical completion. Nevertheless i moved on and i accepted my fate. I took my first NCLEX-PN exam last january 2015 but i failed due to my failure to study 100% i finished saunders PN book and cd with 3200 questions but i think its not enough as iam busy working and also iam a busy mom to a 5 year old daughter. I tried the PVT trick before and for me it absolutely works!!!(ON MY CASE) I knew for a fact that i failed BECAUSE i didnt get the "GOOD POP UP" but rather i got the "BAD POP UP" as it allows me to register and i gambled my 200$ MONEY$$$. At that time i felt so devastated and i lost my confidence... and i gave up... after a few months my husband encourage me again to repply, so i applied on july 2015 and got the eligibility on OCTober 2015 i set my exam date on DEC 15 ,2015 but later i had so much doubt then i resched it again FEB 3,2016... Then i studied everyday doing mostly Q and A from saunders q and a lpn book and its CD doing 150-200 questions daily and read the rationale if im not sure of my answer. I also took down notes on certain topic that iam unfamiliar with.. I also browse saunders COMPRE once in a while if i need enlightenment on a certain topic, plus i had a rundown of infos on kaplan coursebook... Before and after i study i pray! I begged God to help me and endure long hours of studying as i dont wanna retake the test again... I put on some instrumental relaxing music as i ran down on my Q and A's. I took my rest once in awhile ( my rest /breaks includes household chores and baby sitting my daughter) so you would imagine iam physically and mentally drained ;( But i told myself LIFE MUST GO ON!!! YOU NEED TO SACRIFICE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS!! NO BUT's AND NO IF's....NO COMPLAINING!!! I also have to give up family outings and parties to fully focus on my test... *** 1 day before the test... i just relax and do some household chores ,spent time with my daughter AND PRAY! also i browse on the lab values for the last time, prepared my stuff (my documents and ID's) and my snacks for the exam... eat and sleep.... *** DURING THE TESTING DAY*** I woke up and pray had some hot cocoa and dry toast and again a cup of warm water..on my way i had a half of banana..but imma tell you iam so nervous and iam having tachycardia and felt like imma pass out but i told myself hey! dont panic! this is the day that the LORD has made! you will be an LVN soon! so take a deep breath, relax and take it!! so to make it short I TOOK THE TEST FOR 2 HOURS WITH UNINTERUPTED BREAK!, yes i didnt took any break, as i wanted to finish my test, it feels like i cant handle/endure it anymore... my computer stops at 85! after 2 hours -exactly 2 hours and i felt like crying because iam overwhelmed with the questions! i had SATA all throughout its like 40-45 SATA in my 85 item test, mostly pharma and prioritization, delegation ,pedia, maternal... BUT I DIDNT ENCOUNTER ANY DRUG COMPUTATION, NO AUDIO, NO IMAGE OR PHOTO QUESTIONS, just a drag down and ordered response kind of questions... so please focus and study... After 2 days i used the PVT TRICK here and i got the good pop up! and i say yes! thank you lord this is it,,but still i waited for the mail after few days feb 12,2016 friday I RECEIVED MY CONGRATULATORY LETTER FROM THE BOARD ,its a different format now as i didnt saw my photo unlike my husbands letter last year so i thought i didnt pass, there you would see your name first and it says CONGRATULATIONS!! After that it will teach you to log in/ sign up on breeze california for your liscense application, and so i did my online application on feb 13,2016 saturday then TODAY FEB 16,2016 TUESDAY my checked was cash out and my name was posted online with my LISCENSE NUMBER! thank God! i will update you guys on how long will my liscense card be delivered via mail...
