Testing 4/17/14

[nwatson83]

I'll be taking my NCLEX RN 4-17-14

Is it weird that i'm excited to take this exam and conquer it? I feel like i've already passed it! lol

I have a few questions for those of you who have taken the exit hesi and the nclex

did you feel the exit exam was harder than the nclex?

for any of you who used hurst review, i watched all the videos and completed their workbook in 5 days, the q-review i did along with a friend, and out of the 3 I took with her the scores were 93, 95, 96

how did any of you score with hurst?

for NCSBN practice banks i range from anywhere 55%-95% and i'm currently on bank #32

did these questions help any of you?

I got a position as a L&D nurse in a 12 week residency I guess i'm just really excited to see this thing through and to be finished

btw i started studying march 6th

Hey good luck to you!!! I got similar scores on both ncsbn and hurst. I am also taking it on 4/17! However I am not as confident as you!! but its not weird that youre feeling excited- its because youre confident of your knowledge. :)

You can definitely do it! I moved my test date up because I felt I would go stir crazy trying to read every book and learn every detail. I had to stop and start saying that I could do it and that I will pass my exam :-)

Once I changed my way of thinking to be positive my whole outlooked changed. Keep telling yourself you can do it

I read a quote from a member on here who passed their nclex, he said their testing us on minimal entry level nursing...after that I immediately felt better :-)

We will both be RNs 04/17/2014 ;-)

Thank you . I had to take a break from studying for an hour b.c. I was going crazy. I promised tonight will be my last night studying and very minimal tomorrow ( lab values etc) . studying is driving me nuts and anxious

[nwatson83]

I agree with you! I worked on some dosage calc tonight and did about 40 more questions before bed, tomorrow will be a light review for me :-)

You are ready!!!!! I did hurst and my scores were very similar. I found Hurst to be easier than NCLEX, but Kaplan was much harder, I didn't take HESI or any other review. I think hurst prepares you very well and you are ready! I felt the same way you did, excited and ready to get it done with! I passed in less than a hour!! you got this!!!! Goodluck :-)

I think that the exit HESI and the NCLEX wer somewhat similar... i believe that the Kaplan touched both sides of the world... HESI world and NCLEX world.
