UWORLD was very similar. The screen looks identical so it makes you feel you are still doing UWORLD. The SATA questions were ones that you felt comfortable with as long as you didn't over think it. I tried not to spend much time on one question.

Thank you.

I took my NCLEX and it was definitely tough. A little background... I started nursing school back in 2015 and did pretty well throughout. Fast forward, I graduated May of this year, and took my NCLEX Friday, June 2nd. I studied uworld throughout my last semester and for 3 additional weeks leading to my NCLEX. I did 150-300 questions a day, alternating resources. I used lippincott NCLEX review and did the comprehensive review questions (150 questions/day). I also did LaCharity...I didn't do that many questions, only like 7-8 chapters. I took my NCLEX and I got 10-15 SATA, a lot of priorities questions, and a lot of infection control questions. The computer shut off at 75 and I knew for sure I failed. I had finished the test in 45 mins, so I was afraid they would think I was cheating. So when later that day I did the PVT trick, and it said "open registration " I became terrified. The next day I grew the guts to check again and I got the good pop-up saying "you are already scheduled...". I still didn't believe it, so I stayed up all night to check my quick results and even then I couldn't believe the words that said "PASS". Now, my name is on the registry and it's finally setting in! I just wanted to share my journey.

I just finished med/surg I. I will say it is a very tough class, however, it is possible to be successful. I purchased the med/surg success book and a nclex review book (lippincott). I also devoted 8 hrs/day or more to the material (especially if a exam was the following week). Although you have other classes, this may be the toughest. I did not move on from a subject until I was able to explain what was going on w/ that particular system. Be sure to read the patho section before the material! You must know that the SA node is the natural pacemaker to know why a person is having sinus tachy or bradycardia, and to know where the problem is occurring. You also need to know anatomy to know why a person w/ left sided heart failure will have pulmonary issues...or why right sided heart failure causes generalized edema. If your school offers tutoring to you, utilize it! Most of all, don't forget what "YOU" as the nurse would do.

I consider your school's grading system quite generous. The ADN program I am currently attending grading system is much harder... 96-100=A 94-95=A- 92-93=B+ 89-91=B 87-89=B- 84-87=C+ 80-83=C Anything less is failing.

@2bnurse, yes, they said many people, maybe 5, don't accept because they was accepted somewhere else or have prior engagements that restrict them from committing to the program. At #3 your chances are very high. Good luck and see you all at orientation!

I was just recently accepted into the the RN program. I am too excited; I still can't believe it's true. My gpa was a 4.0, with all classes completed. Anyone else get their letters?
