Yes I did pass in 75 questions!! I felt like uworld was the best study material and I had plenty of "who do you assess first?" Questions. Definitely recommend uworld!!! But after nclex comes actually being a nurse, which I have been for about a month and a half... and that's a whole other giant to face... it's the most challenging thing I've ever done. Good luck to everyone! Uworld!!!

I cannot thank you enough for this post! Here it is 9 years later and I, a new grad ER nurse am experiencing love and hate with my job. I'm on orientation still, and don't get me wrong, I LOVE what I do, but time-management and priorities are definitely a struggle for me. Thank you so much for your inspiration and letting us know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I greatly appreciate it!

@aloha_life How did the NCLEX compare to uWorld??

I take my test tomorrow at 2pm!!! So nervous!!!! I've been studying uWorld! I've only completed around 800 questions, with a percentage of 66.5%, 91st percentile. Took Test 1 Assessment on the 17th, and got a 64%, 74th percentile, "very high" chance of passing. Took Test 2 Assessment today, and got 68%, 86th percentile, "very high" chance of passing. Had the HESI exit test on April 12th, got a 1034, 89.67% conversion score, 93.26 percentile. Slightly freaking out because of the millions of possible questions that could be asked of me tomorrow! Also kind of at that part where I'm done with studying and will accept my fate if I don't do well. I wish I could fast forward 48 hours!

luxi07, this makes me feel so good!!!! I scheduled to take my test ASAP--for May 30th at 2pm! I graduated May 7th, and haven't studied since then. Took the self-assess test 1 today and got 64% correct and placed in 74th percentile with "very high" chance of passing! Thank you so much!!!

What classes/entrance exams do you have left? Currently taking AP1 and Human Development. Only need AP2 and Microbiology. When will you begin submitting applications? Will hand in my application envelope to CCGA's ASN Committee tomorrow! How many programs will you be applying to? Just CCGA Have you already been accepted into a program? Not yet, but I've heard I have a good chance. Current qualifications: HESI Score 93.2% cumulative BBA in Marketing @ UGA

So my advisor told me to get an ASN, and then since I already have a Bachelor's, that I can go straight to an MSN? Is this true?? Will my non-nursing Bachelor's fill the gap from ASN-BSN-MSN? BTW, the degree is a BBA in Marketing from the University of Georgia. Thanks in advance!

most of the ratio problems were like 300:x::150:7 i had almost 15-20 of those

After months of pouring over this site, I had told myself that I would not sign up until I passed the HESI. Well today I took it for the first time, and PASSED!!! Could not believe how stressed I was about this--really because I haven't had BIO 1107 since 2006, and am in my second week of AP 1. AP - 96% Biology - 88% Math - 98% Vocabulary - 94% Reading - 90% For anyone who hasn't had science classes for a while, or even AP at all, I recommend using YouTube! I went to the Anatomy GMC YouTube channel and watched EVERY Anatomy and Biology lecture that professor had! I paused and took notes as if I was in class. I truly believe that THIS is what helped me succeed in both science sections! Math - used the HESI Exam Review book.... VERY easy, LOTS of RATIOS!!!! Vocab - literally only saw about 20 words from the HESI Review book... the rest I guess, or was common knowledge. I was actually blown away by how easy this exam was... So surprised by my score that I may think there was a computer glitch because the science sections, I could've sworn I seriously didn't know about a third of the questions and just guessed. All I can say is YAY!!!! And now I'm onto the next step... :)
