Thank you!!

Hi there! Yea I already saw my license number at the nursys.com website. It shouldn't take that long if you took yours on December. I took mine this month and it's already up there.

Hi monique13, I've been using the Saunders q & a I took my exam January 17 and I just started focusing on my review around December 17 cuz I've been so busy at work (i work full time). I did 100-150 questions a day. In my opinion, as long as you know how to approach the question, you're going to be okay because honestly we don't know what's gonna be on our exam. Just do what ever is comfortable for you, or use whatever material that is comfortable for you. If you can't do 100 questions a day that's fine just make sure that you do your questions no matter how many you can do. During my exam, I honestly dont know any of them, so I just dissected the questions and figured out what they were really asking for, also you have to analize the options carefully (they could be a bit confusing). Make sure you know your Normal Values! Don't get too overwhelmed with SATA's. Don't forget to PRAY AND PRAY AND PRAY! That's what I've been doing, especially that I was so nervous ^^, I prayed that I will be able to accept whatever the result would be. Even if you pass or fail, there is always something greater for you out there BUT don't give up! Try to eat healthy and avoid coffee for a lil while. You can do this!!! I'll be praying for you and @henserson79. If you have any questions please let me know :)

Thank you!!!:)

I am living in CA but graduated nursing from the Philippines! Decided to take NY-NCLEX. I took the test couple times. The first time I took it, I was aware that I didn't really do my best to study and prepare myself. Wrote 118 questions and failed. 3 categories were almost passing and 1 above and 1 below. Decided to take it again, this time I only did q&a (saunders). I did 100 questions everyday,I had to balance my full time job schedule and my review. It was hard but I didn't have a choice. I really wanted to pass this time so I've been Praying praying praying and praying a lot! (This for sure helped a lot!). On the day of my exam, I was so nervous! As they sat me to my seat I could feel my heart pumping so fast! I was taking my time while answering my questions but I didn't expect to go over 200+. I then realized I only have 1 hour left so I panicked but still did my best to understand and answer the questions they were giving me. I finished 265 questions with 8 minutes left! I had 50 SATA,2 Exhibition,couple computations, 1 drop and drag and 2 EKG. I was so scared and nervous, I had a feeling I failed my exam but then I also felt that I had a good chance in passing but ofcourse I didnt want to expect too much. 2 days after my test I had my brother check thru quick results, and boom yes I PASSED!!!!!! I was crying and I couldnt stop!!!!!God's timing is perfect so we just have to trust and believe :) So please don't give up. Pray and believe, have faith and do your best! :) It doesn'y matter how many times you take your test it's a matter of being a great nurse! :)

hi guys! i just got my evaluation from my exam and i got "near the passing standard" on all the areas of the exam. I feel like it's because I got so nervous during the last 30 questions that's why I wasn't able to make it. The first time I took the exam I only got 2 "near the passing standard" and the rest were below passing. I don't feel bad for failing this time at least I know I improved and I have to work on my relaxation techniques and do better than before. Failures are ways to polish our flaws and we shouldn't give up, instead aim higher. We will soon become one of the great nurses out there! :)

yes i think that's one reason Too that i used a lot of resources. are you taking your exam too? @strawberryluv

Thank you so much LV3677 those are great advice. I did finished reading the Saunders but just plain reading pages to pages. I am planning to take another NCSBN course and focus on La Charity Q&A's too. Also planning on making a schedule. I am just glad I am not working full time so I have much time to read.I think you're right I should practice relaxing my mind the second time I took my exam I was so nervous and anxious especially when my questions are pass 100 that's why I couldn't focus very well. I CAN MAKE IT THIS TIME :)

hi musicmac1976 thanks for the advice. Is the Hurst a book or online course? Is UWorld free? Good luck and God bless on your exam! we can do this :)

I graduated BSN last 2013. I took my first exam December 2014 and failed. I stopped at 75.I used the Saunders review book I know I wasn't too prepared I admit I didn't really focused on the content I just read the book and thats it. I also answered questions from the saunder's online access but didn't do a lot. I was working while studying. I wasn't confident when I took my first exam and I knew I failed. When my exam evaluation came, few are below passing. So I started reading again and answering questions and told myself Okay im gonna take it again. I used La Charity but I didn't finish all the questions. I attended a live review class and it helped me understand the things i didn't know before. I also took the 5 week NCSBN course I read the content. Also answered the practice tests but then again i didn't finish the whole thing i think i only had 300+ total questions. I always review at night and spend like 4-5 hours and at the same time working during the day. I scheduled my exam June 22 2015. I think I was more prepared than the first time. I was so nervous especially when i was over 75 questions i got 5 SATA ,1 EKG and a lot of pharma. I was focused and confident during the first 75 questions. But when I was going onwards i am getting anxious thinking omg it might shut off and i cant focus, then it finally stopped at 118. I was really really anxious. I prayed a lot too. I went home and waited 48 hours to check my quick results and found out that I FAILED again now I dont know what to do. Shoul I just concentrate on answering questions? because that's what i didnt really do. Please help!!!! I've decided to take it again I know I shouldn't give up!! PLEASE help me I need some advice on what to do. I am planning on focusing on La Charity and NCSBN but I dont know how, do you think I should read them at the same time? or I should finish La Charity first before moving onto NCSBN? im so sorry if it's an annoying question but please help.
