I really enjoy reading through these forums. It helps me to know that there are other nursing students/graduates out there who are going through the same thing I am!!! This Saturday 7/21, I am taking the NCLEX up in the Chicago Financial District and I AM NERVOUS!!! but I have studied my butt off since I graduated in May. It seems that everybody from school is taking their NCLEX in July and so far everybody has passed! To say the least, I cannot wait to say my name with "RN" attached to the end :heartbeat These last 3 weeks I have been but nothing in the library doing content review, and doing a minimum of a 100 questions a day.
I have been using to prepare:
-NCLEX Exam Cram (Both the content book, as well as the 1,200 question mini book, both purchased from Amazon this last fall)
-Kaplan's NCLEX-RN Strategy, Practice & Review (Did practice test in the book as well on the CD) I scored a 70% on the CD Test..... Is this satisfactory enough for this weekend ???
-Lippincott's Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN App (Downloaded on ipod from apple store!! Has 1000 questions and it was FREE!)
-NCLEX 4000.
As of today, I am getting very fatigued from all the studying, and just wish this could be over with!!! I am scoring somewhat over 73% on all my diagnostic practice tests! I hope its enough!
To say the least, I can't believe this journey is coming to end, but yet in so many ways, it is just beginning! It seems like I just started school in Foundations in the Fall of '10, and I had NO idea what to expect & do. It is amazing how much one can transform and learn in a matter of two years. I never thought I would get through nursing school, let alone, graduate and then pass the Exit HESI on the first try. Ever since the first day of nursing school, it was drilled into our heads (NCLEX NCLEX HESI HESI!) The anxiety alone was enough to drive ya crazy. But here I am! I made it, and I just need that final step, which is coming up this Sat !!
Anyways! Thank you for stopping in & reading! Is anyone else taking their exams coming up this weekend/end of July or August??
Also, do you think its worth trying the PearsonVue trick? If I am taking my exam Sat afternoon, anytime after the exam the trick would work??? Thanks for clearing this up!!!
GOOD LUCK ALL MY FELLOW NURSES! LETS DO THIS AND KICK THAT NCLEX'S BUTT, LOL!!!! :w00t:
HI GUYS! My computer stopped @ 77 or 78 questions! Felt pretty confident about the questions and answers I submitted. I did the Pearson VUE trick, and I got the good pop up!!!!! I am so happy right now! Thank you for all your well wishes !!!!
Is this mean a good pop up "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time." ? I just took the test and got 75 questions, but didn't feel good about it
I got the pop up, "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time." So far, everybody who has gotten this, has passed !!!
