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.
after 1 year here in u.s,after 5x of exam,i can now say that im officially an r.n.yahoooooooooooooooooooooo.thanks for all the support,prayers,advices.God is really good,all the time...
hi guys! been checking this site for quite awhile now. just wanna thank you all for all the support! took the exam on the 18th and just found out today that i passed. i never thought i'd be able to post that on here. the wonderful encouraging words have been very helpful! for those who will be taking the exam in the near future, the fact throwing thread has been very helpful. do check that thread, it's a good quick review right before the exam. like what the others have been saying, I too didn't tell everyone that i'll be taking my exam. im having trouble with test anxiety already and i didn't want anything to add into that. again, thanks everyone and of course to the FATHER above. I wish everyone a success! Gotta go step out of the house now. finally, i can relax.... :wink2:
Hello zaylee!!! Thank you! I'm not a bookish person so, i've done most of my studying by doing the practice questions from the cds provided by friends and families (Mary Hogans, Lippincott, Saunders, and a bit of Mosbys) also with Saunders 3rd ed, Kaplan course book, and Nclex made ridiculously simple for references. Made it a habit to do at least 150-200 questions a day (M-F only). I've also used Kaplan's decision tree when I took the exam last week and for the infection control... I've used the mnemonics posted from the fact throwing thread (very useful!). Actually, that was the only thing I used when answering those infection control questions. Thank you to whoever came up with that! Gave myself 2 months to review. 75 questions in 2hrs (im a slow reader :wink2:), 25 SATAs, bunch of infection control, prioritization, delegations, cohorting, some pharma, and no calc. By the way, this is my 2nd attempt. 1st attempt- ran out of time after 182, over analyzation is not tooooo goood! You can also pass this exam zaylee! If i can, i know everyone else can too. Goodluck!
Hello kind. I'm sorry, I'm practically new here... I'm still trying to figure out how to go about this site. Anyways, I found this from the fact throwing thread. kindly check #711 i believe, someone has explained it there. hope it'll help. goodluck on your exam...:wink2:
