Hi everyone! After failing my NCLEX during my last try, I am finally retaking it in 4 days! I spent the last 2 months studying as much as I can. I can't say that I spent every minute of every day studying, because that's really impossible, but I feel like I have done enough studying and I'm at a point where I can't get anything else in my mind anymore! But my question to everyone is...how do I know if I'm truly ready? My main study tool was UWorld! I am at a 56.9%, which is the 72nd percentile I believe, after completing around 1500 out of 1971 questions. I try to remember as much as I can from the rationales. I used Hurst worksheets to review their notes from the videos as well. For the maternity and peds topics, I supplemented my content review with Saunders because I was very low on that. I have reviewed infection control, a bunch of diseases, and lots of fundamentals. I did not memorize all the meds because there are just too many! I am focusing on the classifications of meds on these last few days, as well as reviewing the questions I got wrong on UWorld. Have I done enough? Should I focus more on studying the remaining content from Saunders, or does one not need to know that whole book? I'm so scared of failing again...if anyone can please give me advice on what I can do during these last few days I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

Hi everyone! I have recently moved to Chicago and have been trying to apply to hospital jobs but am not sure really which good hospitals accept ADN RNs? Can anyone share their experiences please? Thank you! :)

Omg congratulations amazingbrownie!!!! I'm so happy for you!! :) That's wonderful news!

Hi guys! I'm not sure exactly how it works, but when I took my NCLEX a couple months ago, my results popped up 24 hours later on the continental testing site for me! I also paid PearsonVue to get the unofficial results, just to be sure, and it was the same as continental. Best of luck to you both! I'm sure y'all passed! :)

Thank you that really helps!! Yea I heard quite a few people say that the saunders questions aren't great, so I decided to choose Uworld and LaCharity for Qs instead. :) Can you tell me if reading the resources documents in Hurst necessary or just the videos for content? Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I am preparing to take my NCLEX for the 2nd time and really want to make sure that I am choosing the best content and question strategy sources! For question strategy, I am doing both U World and La Charity! For content, I am unsure if I should do Hurst, Saunders, or both. Has anyone done Hurst and/or Saunders and can share some advice? I was devastated failing the first time, so any advice would be reallyyy appreciated!

Hello everyone I completed my NCLEX yesterday in Illinois and am anxiously checking Pearson Vue for my unofficial results. I read somewhere on allnurses.com that you can find your results earlier on continental testing services. I checked there and saw that they graded me, but I'm not sure if I should trust the results! I guess my question is, has anyone received a pass or fail on continental testing services, yet a different result with Pearson Vue (which I know is definitely official)? Please if anyone could reply I would really appreciate it! I am feeling sick from waiting and I'm scared I failed my NCLEX. Thank you!

Oops, thank you!!

Hi everyone! This is my first post with allnurses.com and I'm excited to finally be part of this awesome group of nurses/soon to be nurses! I'm posting here to hopefully get some advice from anyone that has used Hurst, NCSBN, LaCharity, and/or NCLEX mastery app! I have postponed my NCLEX exam quite a few times out of anxiety that I will not pass it. I'm not sure if I'm just being hard on myself or if I really made the right choice. By the time I should take my NCLEX exam (in a week), I would have completed the majority of the NCSBN questions (around 700), all of the Hurst videos, reviewed some LaCharity, and around 1300 qs from the mastery app. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, have I studied enough? Have I used good, reliable resources to study with? At what point did you guys feel like you were ready to take the exam? (No matter what I do, I just never feel ready! There is so much to know and I can't possibly remember EVERYTHING I've studied, only a large portion). Any advice would be so appreciated! Thank you!
