....:whistling:well today at 8am i took my nclex pn. I honeslty can say i walked in there calm and just relaxed. i know its easier said then done but i told myself i'm gonna pass damn it..
i had a merry-go-round of questions ( delegation, ethical, priorty, drag&drop, meds, math anything you can think of i got on that test!.. did i start to freak out YEA lol its only natural. hell there were things i never even heard of or even seen before!? The sata questions i took the most time on just because i wanted to really understand what its was asking and wanted from me.. i can say that they way the nclex is worded is kinda confused with some questions but i just took longer to answer till i felt comfortable with my answer.
LOng story short i walked out of the testing center with 198 :no:questions behind me... and a headache out of this world!!! (I passed)
1.did i cry?
NO whats the point if i failed i will just take it again.
2. Did i feel like i knew all the material even though i graduated and took hurst and kaplan and did hours of questions? my honest answer NO yes i graduated and know that i will be a safe nurse but studying for the nclex is just you can't know everything just know the core content and pick the best answer even if you narrow it down to 2.
3. which review course did i use? i used hurst and kaplan. I found hurst to be fun and felt like being in nursing school again and it helped brush up on things i had forgot.
Kaplan-- it's cool they have made their q bank a little harder and i would get discouraged from the percentage but i would always look at my rational to see why i got it wrong or even a right answer right.
Last thing
just use what ever review course you feel comfortable with but really limit it to 2 maybe content and questions..
i always told myself (bound & determined)!
all my prayers go out to anyone who is taking it or retaking it! you can pass and will PASS
just keep a upbeat attitude about it.
