Took NCLEX-RN today and got the GOOD POP UP!

Published

I took NCLEX today and wow, what a stressful day.

First, I took the wrong exit and got caught up in traffic from a wreck and I was LATE! I was about to have a full out panic attack thinking that I would lose my money since the papers say if you aren't there for ANY REASON, it's too bad, so sad. I flew into a 2 hour parking spot and practically ran to the building. But when I got there, no one said a word about my tardiness. Just took my ATT and ID and about a hundred sets of fingerprints and palm prints.

I got 75 questions. Several SATA, 2 drag and drop, a ton of priority questions and several questions on one topic that we did NOT learn about in nursing school but luckily I knew about it through my preparations. It wasn't what I expected. I expected more in depth questions!

It took me less than an hour to do the questions and as soon as I finished, I drove across town to the Barnes & Noble to do the PVT but it was too early. So, I drove 2 hours home and... I GOT THE GOOD POP UP! I'm not announcing anything, though, until I get the official.

Good luck to those of you who are coming up!

Now that you mention it, I didn't get any math either. I got one graphic thing with a picture of some kind of bite on someone's leg.

I was so happy with no math. I was just shocked by the all the alternate form questions. BTW does your good pop up say this when you try to register for a test: "Our records indicate that you have recentely scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member board for assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time".. Just making sure lol

what did you use to study?

I had quite a few SATAs. It seemed like every other question was but in reality, no.

I used the Hurst book (an older one), the Kaplan book (an older one), Saunders CD (that's what I used most) and I did the entire Lacharity book.

I didn't pay for any review programs or any of that. I just did it on my own. I also have a 50 page study guide that I made myself and looked over that last night before I went to bed.

Yep, that's what it says. The only alternate formats I got was the 2 drag and drops and the graphic one.

Today I also took boards and after waiting 3 hours to get home, I went straight to check the "trick". I also got the good "pop up" and I hope to god that it is correct.

I had 12-15 SATA, 10-12 prioritize, and several precaution/delegation questions.

I used hurst and saunders (q&a's were very helpful; especially the sata).

You know, I don't think I had ANY delegation questions. Just mostly priority. I was worrying that I was getting them wrong since I just KEPT getting them!

I just had two delegation and about 5 precautions; not that big a deal. I also starting to worry if I was getting the priority questions wrong because I kept getting them a lot.
