Took my NCLEX PN 9/21/11

Published

Hey guys, this is my very first post, but I've been reading everyone's posts about the NCLEX. Anyways, my story is a bit different. I finished nursing school 4 years ago and I NEVER took the NCLEX ( Long story), so this year I finally decided not to waste my knowledge and all the money I invested in nursing school. In august I took a review class in Hyattsville, MD.(Which I highly recommend for anyone in the md/dc/va area). My school (udc) refused to sign off on my nclex form stating that I took too long and I won't pass. I never gave up tho, prayed to God about it and eventually the Dean of the school signed off on my form. To make the longgggg story short, I took the Exam September 21 2011. Man, I don't think I've ever studied that hard for anything, i think i even over studied lol...The exam wasn't that bad tho, I didn't get ANY med calc, i got about 7 SATA, ALOT of mental health, and priority questions. The exam stopped me at 88 questions. I felt confident leaving the exam room, came home and did the "Pearson Vue Trick" and got the Good Pop up. So now i'm PATIENTLY waiting for the "official results"....my advice for any1 that's taking the exam is to RELAX, Don't stress over it..just do LOTS of practice questions to get u in NCLEX thinking mode and PRAYYYYYYYYYY!!!. God is a miracle working God. :redbeathe

I used Delmar NCLEX PN REVIEW 2ND EDITION, it's really helpful.

and the review class is called nursing review center in Greenbelt MD. sorry i made a mistake earlier by stating it was in hyattsville, md. The cost is $300 for 2 weeks Mon-Friday, they have morning and evening classes.
