Took the NCLEX today someone help!

Published

So I took the NCLEX-RN today for the first time. A little bit confused, my gut is telling me I did good ( I walked out feeling good) at the same time most of my nursing friends said that the NCLEX was very hard, and I can't really agree to that... I think the exam was fair and certainly had its hard parts and a lot of analysis q's....I prepared for a month, hard core studying...I did kaplan class + all the qbank q's + answered all the question trainer....I got a lot of SATA's, Priority, One med. calc, 3 alternative questions and tons of infection control....I feel as if the kaplan questions were a lot harder, I did the PVT and I got the "pop up" ... I just don't know... Im hoping for good results...did anybody else feel like me?????:yawn::yawn::yawn::yawn:

Charm:heartbeat

Wishing you the best of Luck!

Stop panicking!! I was doubtful too about the PVT and mine was positive. I honestly thought I failed and cried for 2 days straight til I found out by early results that I passed. YOU PASSED! I know the panic but calm down! I read the whole post on the trick and it's 100% effective as far as I read and others not on this board have confirmed that to me. YOU DID IT! COngrats in advance!

Sorry if I am being dumb, but what is the pop up thing and the Pearson Vue trick? :confused:

Got my exam Friday, and like everyone else who has ever sat it, dreading it!

Just out of interest, if you are getting around 60% in the Kaplan Question bank and question trainers, do you think that is a reasonable mark to hopefully get you through the pass level of the NCLEX?

Been studying hard for over 2 months and am now exhausted!! :eek:

I did! I took and passed nclex at the end of january. I didnt think it was too difficult at all, and I felt really good afterwards. That was so weird to me because all you ever hear is people feeling like they failed. When I told people I felt good about it, I would get a puzzled look and the response, "youre the only person I know thats said that". haha but whatever. Congrats on being done, feeling good about it, and probably passing!

edit------- read the rest of the thread. Congrats on passing!!!

I thought when I took the NCLEX that the kaplan questions were harder. But at the same time it all depends on how prepared you are. I studied for about a month and I did questions every day (~100 p/day) and 200 q/day 2 weeks before my exam ... I say keep working on your qbanks and read the rationales, also do your question trainers. You at least want 60-65% on your qbanks. What I did was I did questions and studied the content. I also used Saunders along with the kaplan book , I only use it when I need to know the rationales. My kaplan instructor to not use the saunders CD for questions but it is good if you want to review your content. Don't be scared, I was scared too but when I took the exam, I was like thats what I was scared of?? trust me its very do-able as long as you put in work!?

Good Luck!! and think positive :)
