I just scheduled my exam awhile ago and finally taking it this September 15, 2008.
I was looking for the September 2008 Support Group and found their is none in existence so i figured to start one.
I am currently on Saunder's 4th Ed. and some other references like, Exam Cram, Illustrated Study Guide for the NCLEX-RN Exam, Prioritization, Delegation Assignment by Linda LaCharity and other Q and A books by Saunder's and Mosby.
But i am focusing more on Saunder's, i just like to have other references to understand topics which i am weak in.
I wasn't a very good student before or wasn't that much focus with my studies while in school. That's why i am very anxious now with my upcoming exam.
Now I am giving my best in my review and hoping and praying that i may pass it on the first try.
I really want and dreampt of becoming an RN and finally i am a test closer to becoming one.
Hey guys, I just got back from taking NCLEX. I had 75 questions, and was done in 40 min. I had 3 math questions, 14 SATA, one picture (identifying a rhythm strip). I had alot of infection control, Psych, OB, prioritization, and pt teaching. I didn't have a single question on delegating, and all of my meds were easy heart med or antibiotics that I knew. I'm just a little worried because my last question was an easy one about a drug allergy. I feel pretty good about my test, but I'll feel better once I have a lisence number!
I took Kaplan, did all of the Qbank and Qtrainer, as well as reviewing content on their videos and in their book. I also used Saunders Q&A review book and CD. I liked Saunders (and actually had the exact same question on my test that I had in Saunders), but personally preferred Kaplan. What are you using to study Brena?

You pass, by the end of this week you will have RN next to your name

Yes, I used the green covered Q&A book. I didn't use the Priority and Delegation book, but I've heard very good things about it. Is this your first time testing, Brena?

No second and last time, I will pass, I did kaplan the first time and find it did not help me at all. But i heard good things about Saunders and EXam Cram. How did you find the Saunders book?

I heard on here many positive things about Saunders. It is good for more content, knowledge based questions, in my opinion. I like Kaplan because it helped me being to critically think, which I found myself doing alot on NCLEX. I know Kaplan doesn't work for everybody, but I really found the practice and stratagies I got from Kaplan helpful. I personally thought Kaplan's questions were harder than the actual NCLEX questions I had.
Its me again i just got my results in and i passed with 205 question!!!
I am now a bonified superfied RN
Thank you for all the prayers and all the support you have given me
TO ALL NCLEX TAKERS:
:saint:Just believe in yourself for nothing is impossible, and ask GOD for guidance and strength. He is always there guiding us in everything we do in our life
