81 questions in CA, I PASSED!!!

Published

my brother in AZ checked the CA BRN @ 0600 today

and called me to say "CONGRATULATIONS RN!"

Thank GOD for hearing everyone's prayers!

Congratulations to everyone who passed.

And everyone waiting, hang in there !

I 'knew' I failed...I was gonna start studying

& take a Hurst review...NO need for that =]

I'm crossing my fingers for all of you!

This website really helped me through

the waiting period.

I took my exam last Friday July 6

called the BRN on wed & they said they didn't have

my transcript...and told me to ask my college

when they sent it...

no answer from college.

called BRN thurs morn, no transcripts

"when did ur college send em"

ME : " I Dont KNOW"

college : "we sent em JULY 3."

BRN (3rd call) when did they send em?

ME: "JULY 3"

BRN : it'll take at least 2 weeks to evaluate.

ME: "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh OK."

and next morning i'm an RN :balloons: :lol2:

So, call the BRN and make sure your file is complete.

similar and new format questions...good way 2 practice

Thank you so much everyone!

I've been so busy celebrating hehe ..

anyway i responded to all the personal messages

i hope it helps

I am praying for all of you.

To the ones who are waiting..

I called the BRN 3 times to make sure my file

was complete and they had my transcripts.

I took it Friday July 6

and My name was on the CA BRN website

on July 13..

http://www2.dca.ca.gov/pls/wllpub/wllqryna$lcev2.startup?p_qte_code=RN&p_qte_pgm_code=7800

type ur name..and see if you received a license.

thats the soonest way to find out IF you Passed..

but don't rely on it, some people have to wait weeks..

As to study,

I took the Live Kaplan Review (my school had a discount)

My instructor was really good, and the class helped

me with new format questions and priority questions.

I probably only answered 300+ q-bank questions.

For content, I read this small book called "NCLEX made ridiculously Simple which basically gives you bulletpoints on each topic.

I didn't read the KAPLAN book Or Saunders book.

I used the Saunders CD ROM.

did about 500+ study mode questions,

two 100 question exams and a bunch of

10 question quizzes to help review content.

I read the rationales for each one.

I studied for about 2-3 hr each day for 2 weeks.

I feel that nursing school prepared me well for the exam.

Good Luck to you all.

God Bless.

You will all be nurses soon enough.

P.s.

a reminder that I was so sure I failed,

I was ready to take another review..I heard Hurst is really good.

But I've heard that everyone misses 50% of the questions,

and it is all about how difficult your questions are,

but it is hard to determine which q's are difficult.

so just breathe, read each question carefully, get rid

of the answers that don't work and pick the best one.
