I did not see any thread on November 2009 support group, so I decided to form a forum for us to share our view, plan and how to pass for the test first time. As we all prayer for each other to continue with this journey I wish everyone who is taking NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-LVN/LPN.
Join the excellent group!!:hrns&wlcm:
Good luck to everybody testing in November.
Here is the plan and we have a month.
Finish the NCBSN online NCLEX review
Do the whole Saunders CD (fourth edition)
Do the Exam cram CD (1000 questions)
Do the Pharmacology Success book (over 1000 questions)
Do the Med-surgical Success Book (1000 questions)
Do the NCLEX 3500 and with all the prayers to pass this NCLEX.
"Holy Spirit,
Thou make me see everything
and show me the way to reach my ideal.
You who will give the divine gift
to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me
and who are in all instances of my life with me.
I, in this short dialogue, want to thank You for everything
and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You
no matter how great the material desire may be.
I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory, Amen
I'm taking my test in FL and I'm pretty anxious too...just been review content and doing questions everyday til I take my exam. I graduated in August. Some of my classmates have already taken NCLEX this month and have passed with 75 questions, with only two, so far, having 200 questions and passed. Sux about your school messing up with sending out info to your state BON but I hope you did well and passed! I'm pretty sure you did well if the computer shut down at 75 questions, but then again I haven't taken NCLEX yet...Praying for you and everyone taking NCLEX this month. Good luck to you :)
Hey sweetbean
Thank you for your Kind words, I so needed that. I just went off on School Dean telling her that the school hires Idiots, how can they send missing to BON when they are so strict/ Also the BON told me that It will take months to process missing info, regardless if you passed or failed. I am just sitting crying right now:o. That was the reason I took my boards super early, I graduated 3 weeks ago!!! Trust me it's not just me, it's all my classmates that are missing info as well.
I'm sorry about your situation Rex3838!!! I hope you pass too!
Just to let everyone know about how soon the cali board posts... I took my test on the 11th. I found out early morning of the 17th on the BON site that I passed!
I am taking it on oct 26th since my ATT will expire bythe end of oct...any advice...would appreciate that...anyone wants to review.
Thanks

An L.P.N. told ne that right afte nursing school she took the review course and passed. She also told me that she knoew someone that took the Nclex 5 times had a hard time passing but when he learned of the Helen Feuer review course, he tok the course later took the NCLEX and this time around he passed. I just want some feed back from anyone that has info about this. Thank you

hi calinurse85
i just took my test sat nov 14th, please make sure your school sent all complete info to the boards. our school so messed up, guess what? they will not release any info regardless if we passed or failed. so you can imagine the frenzy that caused us grad students. i hate our old school. i heard they do post kind of quick in 3 days, my girl friend from the last graduating class, had her results in 3 days. at least you don't have to wait months for your results. i leave here in cali.
I tested last thursday nov 12... it was my second.. It took me a while to recuperate from failing my first NCLEX RN.. I felt like I lost my self...
I graduated march of 08 from the Philippines and officially and legally set foot in this country august of of the same year.. Boy oh boy, so many changes so many adjustments.. my mind and body was effed. finally, adjusted a bit before the year ended and got a job at local retail store.. that went well, praises from my boss but deep inside I felt like a slave to their trade.. but all is fair, at least I have a job... months pass I sort of lost track why I came here in America for and that was to become a nurse. Hanged out with the wrong set of dudes. co-workers and psuedo-friends. my girlfriend for four years broke up with me.. which was admittedly my fault. I can't believe the racial tension here in central valley CA.. its in the air especially in the workplace.. its funny cause I thought thats been dealt with a long time ago.
yes I know cry me a river... its just drama people but it happens and I feel like I had to put my two cents in.
anyway, I finally scheduled my test last may 28 and failed. I studied purely the Kaplan book. and I swear I thought it helped me a lot with test skills. what I didn't know was my content had faded quite dramatically already.
My life went rock bottom I swear. I cursed at anything and everything. But basically, like the nursing process I ADPIE my life and picked up the pieces it took 5 months to set my mind right because I felt like I lost everything dear to me, my ex, my mom, ( who is disappointed at me) and most importantly, my future which depended on that one test. I answered 261 questions and ran out of time by the way.. ( results came in the mail 2 weeks indicating I had "near the passing standard on most of the categories.)
After 5 mos, I dealt with my problems head on. I called my ex up since she would not reply to my emails. And set things straight between the both of us. the sweet words of I forgive you flowed out of her lips. I was relieved. My guilt had eaten me alive for so long thinking I deserve it. but then I could only hold so long coz I have my whole life ahead of me still. Talked to my mom wo went home to the Philippines because she had too much "stress" living with me here. And set things right with her too. As for my Job in the retail store, I changed my availability to work only three days a week so I can dedicate the rest to review, reflect and pray.
I scheduled a test last nov 12 thinking I was ready to rock and that I was locked and loaded and ready to pull the trigger. Truth is the NCLEX RN test still kicked my butt, but i was kicking its but too along the way. Unbelievably, after my studies prayers I still answerd 257 questions. can you believe it? all my friends did it in and average of 75-100 and passed. Mine stopped at 257 with 13 minutes left. yes I was there for 6 hours hanging on to dear life. I could remember I thought I had answered the last 2 questions right. but of course like the whole test, I really could not tell if I was right. I felt happy though. But like all of you hear still in the back of our heads we have our doubts.... the wait is killing me.
the only thing that made me stop thinking about it was the Manny pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto boxing match. My boy won, at the back of my head I hope I won too.
however, It was to my dismay, that when monday came, I checked my name on the CA BON verification site and could not find it there. I wanted to throw up. Memories of the stuff that happened to me flooded in and I swore i had the symptoms for a severe anxiety attack. I was hearing war drums in my head.
Before I conclude my thoughts on my recent exam I started looking at the internet for threads like these. Boy I wish I found this a year ago. Who ever platinum user is, he is a genius. This helps so much. A whole international community of nurses and their thoughts. Wow. So many happy so many heartbroken stories too. It just feels like home and I found it very therapeutic to read.
anyway, thanks for reading this far if you are reading. thank you. My main question is I realized that last wednesday, it was veterans day, the friday after my test was a furlough day for CA BON they do not update on weekends. And then so I checked yesterday. My name wasn't there. its been three days, does that count? Then I found out about this "trick" I tried it and I got the good pop-up (couldn't re register) Now, I know that's supposed to be a good thing, but all my friends that have passed the RN test had their names up in two days. some even claim they saw their name on a saturday even when it said on the site they only update mon-fri. So anyway, I don't know what to think anymore. I'm sorry I wrote such a long comment. I just felt like sharing. any comments?
much love to all future and present nurses. I love this profession and I am excited to be a part of it.
