dear denise,
firstly good luck with your exam- i wish you well.
i recently qualified as an orthopaedic trauma nurse in england and i plan to move to the US- your nclex exam looks to be harder than our nursing studies- was it harder or easier than you thought? our training is supposed to be really good and rated as some of the best in the world- but to be honest i found it does not prepare a person for the role of a nurse in a busy unit like mine- do you have any advice regarding the nclex- i'm hitting the books on days off- there's no end to the studies!!!
again- good luck and best wishes

Hi!
I thought the NCLEX was weird and hard. Some things I feel I had no idea on and others I thought hey I know this. This might sound strange but the "right" answer never seemed to be there it was more like the "best" answer. There isnt much advice I can give, I dont feel anyone can fully study for the boards, I would get the Saunder's NCLEX review book and do questions and more questions and more questions.
Good luck to you
Denise
thks denise- weird and hard- it sounds grim- i'll keep hitting the study aids- thks for the literature recommendation- i see i will have no life for the next year- working on the unit by day studying by night- remind me why we do this?
take care of yourself, have fun and don't work too hard

I took the Nclex this morning and it stopped at 75 questions. I didn't get any math, mainly priority, isolation, drug side effects and 4 choose all that apply. Unfortunately PA doesn't participate in Pearson's quick unofficial results, so I will have to wait until the BON posts it on the website. I pray I don't have to wait more than a week, my nerves wouldn't be able to handle it.
