Recently passed N-CLEX, here is my story

So, I thought this day would never come and alas it has and I could not be more excited and relieved.

I graduated this past May from nursing school in NY, but moved to NC and wanted to take my boards there so it took a little longer to get proved. In the meantime I wasn't working as you can't under permit here so I bought Saunders Comprehensive Review and answered every question in the book (around 100 a day) and only reviewed what I got wrong in the content. This was the only resource that I used and I highly recommend it.

I received my ATT mid June and scheduled my boards for July 1st. I did the drive by the day before and took them at 8am the following day. I highly recommend taking them early in the morning if a slot is available, this way you aren't stewing all day waiting around.

I wasn't very familiar with a lot of the content, but it's N-CLEX and you can't predict what's going to be on there. I had a lot of SATA (which is a good thing) and the pharm wasn't too bad, maybe 5 questions. Mine shut of at 75 questions and I was honestly very relieved. I checked the PVT later that day and got the "good pop up" and again the next day to confirm the first result. I was almost positive that I passed after seeing this. The trick does work! Every person that I have spoken to from school has used it and 100 percent of that was dead on. I paid for quick results July 3rd and BOOM, I'm an RN!

My advice-don't over study on content. Just get one book and stick to it. A lot of people did review courses, but I didn't because I didn't feel it was necessary. I passed and saved 400 bucks. But, that is all preference. Hope this helps!
