Results are in.... with some analysis...

Published

I passed!!! I passed with 75 questions and am now a RN!! I've also started in a level 3 NICU! I'm so excited! I'm also so relieved that I can finally relax and do some crafts :)

Wanted to share my NCLEX experience and hope it'll be helpful to some.

Out of the 75 questions, I got 2 multiple multiples, medium difficulty. One on Hep A and I can't remember the other. No math questions, tons of pharm though, probably because I got the first one wrong (I realized my mistake 2 questions later). Tons of nutrition too, again, probably b/c that's one of my weaker areas. I had only one cardiac question, but it was definitely a

difficult one. I think I got it right, so I didn't get anymore. Lots of teaching questions and priortization questions. Then, of course, there's delegation, some were quite tricky. I had a few psychosocial questions too, but I couldn't really tell what part of the test plan it fell under. I think most of the M/S contents were tested through the priortization questions as I didn't get many straight m/s q's. Anyway, that's all I can remember for now.

My only tip would be that if you know you have a weak area, study it, b/c the CAT format will pick that up.

Good luck!

I took the nclex today & got 75 questions also - patiently awaiting my results. I just wanted to say I agree with what you wrote - my test seemed similar...a lot of med questions, nutrition & teaching as well as highest priority & delegating questions. I only had one "choose all that apply" questions & no math.

Congratulations to you for passing!

You are now an NICU nurse? That's great. Was there some kind of sarcasm in the "crafts? and working in that department? Just wondering how that fits in....
