took NCLEX yesterday

Published

Phew...glad that's over. It stopped at 75 questions and I'm fairly confident I passed but there were about 5 questions that had me debating pretty hard between two possibilities. I think I even broke a sweat :) Anyway, I'll find out for sure in a couple days I guess. I wanted to recommend a work book that I think made all the difference for me. Since the test has a lot about prioritizing you may want to consider this book too. The workbook is actually pretty in depth and gives rationales. When I took the NCLEX I didn't really find those types of questions all that difficult and I think it's because I did the workbook. It's called Prioritization, Delegation & Assignment by LaCharity, Kumagai, Bartz. I found if on Amazon. I studied a lot of different prep books but if I were to narrow down the ones that were the most essential it would be Saunders and Kaplan. Hope that helps. By the way, I didn't get any math problems which surprised and delighted me ;)

You are probably one in a million people that was not nervous after taking N-clex.

Hello there, you sounds like you did well. I wish you a good luck for the result. By the way, I am going to take NCLEX this Friday, I have been working on Kaplan and Saunders. My question for you, did you see a lot of "Select all that apply" format questions? What about meds? I will appreciate your response.

Hello,

I was a wreck for weeks before the test and now I'm just exhausted. I was less nervous after the test due to sheer relief but I don't want to give the impression that I wasn't nervous afterwards. I'm going to be a nervous ninny until I know for sure. So I'll keep checking the boards for my license. I ended up getting 3 select all that apply. I knew going into the test that I don't do too well on those ones. I'm always off by one. Okay, now I'm getting that "what if" thing....starting to feel my nerves all over again....oh geesh. I didn't get any other alternative questions. I didn't get any med math. Good luck taking the test! I wish you success.

I did the whole book including most of the case studies. I ran out of time. Waiting for results is taking a toll on me....as if the stress of preparing for the test wasn't enough. I find myself pacing and fretting so it's really nice to just be able to hear those words of encouragement from everyone who understands. Thanks a lot and again....good luck to all
