Took NCLEX-RN Exam today (YIKES!!!)

Nursing Students NCLEX

Wow, I took my NCLEX-RN exam this morning and boy was it hard! It seemed like every 4th or 5th question was "Select All That Apply" and I really suck at those. The good thing is that I only had the minimum amount of questions (75) and from what I hear that means I either really bombed it or passed. I hope I passed! I won't know until 48 business hours have passed but I'll keep you updated.

Have you taken it? How many questions did you do? Pass or fail? How did you prepare for it? I read the Kaplan strategy book, did practice questions from both Kaplan and Saunders books & CDs, and reviewed lab values. Hopefully it paid off! Wish me luck and I also wish you the best if you haven't taken it yet!:yeah:

Angel,

Know your labs, your electrolytes, endocrine, and common procedures.

Infection control. Which practice questions would be best.

like what should the patient expect in blah blah procedure

Also prioritization was a huge one for me.

Congrats! I'm waiting for the Georgia Board to approve my application, they received it 6/25/09 and told me it would take 7-10 business days to enter it in their system, I also hear they meet July 15-17 and then close for the month of August so, I am nervous that I'll have to wait. Has anyone else heard that?

Worried, and Scared!

congrats to all that passed! i took my nclex five weeks after i graduated. i also took the review course. i passed with 75 questions. i suggest studying priority, labs, infection control, isolation precautions, vaccinations, and looking over as many meds as you can remember. as far as passing with 265, there are plenty of posters who have passed with that number. i wish you luck, just try to remain positive. try the trick if you think it will help you to feel better.
