fotero 80 Posts Jun 12, 2008 I understand your anxiety and nervousness I believe I will be the same, after all we are humans and we have the right to express our feelings. Everyone of us feel the pressure for family, bosses, friends, tecahers, etc, etc. people ask us, when are taking the NCLEX? Have you taken the NCLEX?, no yet, or they say you will be fine, everything will be OK, you will pass. All of these phrases add more stress than the tets per se but as I said we are human and we have the freedom to express our feelings and thoughts as long as they don't hurt anybody else, this is a free country, LOL.Anyway, congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you made it and this is the MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck in your career, Please share with me some tips that guided you to succeed the NCLEX such as:How many hours did you study?What kind of NCLEX review did you take?How many questions of Q Bank did you practice,Any advice I will appreciate it,Congrats again

What kind of NCLEX review did you take? I used a pearsonvue logo book that was yellow on top and blue on the bottom -- not sure of the author -- it uncludes the "Measure up" CD that simulates the Nclex and the questions -- they are very hard questions --- if studying the harder is better!!! Here is the measure up website: http://www.measureup.com/ I got their cd free with the book --- it is noted on the front of the book it is the measure up cd.How many questions of Q Bank did you practice? As many as I could fit in to the time I had.... I also did come kaplan questions for free online -- i did the questions on the cd until I got consistant 80%sHope this helps and good luckKristy RN
