Hey guys! I just found out that I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions. Well, the way I did it I didn't use Kaplan. I used mostly Saunders 3rd ed. and I subscribed to 3 weeks NCSBN Nclex course review. I used many books also such as Exam cram NCLEX RN practices questions, Lippincott Nclex review, Saunders 3rd ed and many others. I also used the NCLEX RN 3500 software.
Finally I think that this forum has been helpful, especially the "random facts" and the "quick facts infection control" threads. Thanks to all of you who contributed to them.
I practiced as many questions as I could, always making sure that I understand the rationales behind missed questions. I started seriously practicing questions in the last semester of school. (Graduated in May 08). I estimate that I did a total of 7000 questions!!!
I guess the more questions you do, the better you'll be off. But make sure that you review the rationales of missed questions.
For all of you who are testing soon, whenever it is the first time or if you are testing more than one time, I wish you good luck.

Hola Nicolita!
I am starting my orientation on August 4th. Medical Intensive and Cardiac Care Unit. MICCU... Very excited! I love ICU big time. I am hoping to go to anesthesia school after 2 years of ICU experience.

You know what's funny, I went to do my pre employment health screening on Friday. On my forms I had put 'RN' as the position I was going to be working as. The nurse asked me "So how long have you been an RN?" I responded "One day!" That was funny but it felt great! HAHA:lol2:
