Hello current and future nurses!
I have been meaning to make an account on this, and finally thought i do it, because some individual was freaking out on the forum here and wanted some comfort... so I thought, why not reply to him/her.
I know if i was in there shoes, i would like that comfort.
Anyway, glad i did that cause now i can write... this... whatever this turns out to be.
ANYways - so i'm gonna be writing my exam soon... and i think the main reason i'm here right this moment, even though i should be reviewing, is because i'm trying to procrastinate.
However, i'll use this procrastinating sessoin for good use and call out to current future nurses studying for the NCLEX to talk about it and give hints... PLEASE!!! - especially the ones in Toronto!
Oh and if hopefully... well not hopefully... i should be confident and say FOR SURE, the exam will go well and i'll pass... and when that happens, for any TORONTO nurses to message me and HIRE me :) ... i really need a job after... cause... i... just got married recently... YAY!! but now i need to be move out of my parents house and live the adults life and pay bills... :/ -_- yay... no pressure or anything..
anyway, i'm done rambling now
:)

Hello all!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm from Toronto, did the PVT after i did 265 questions, took me almost the whole time - and got the good pop-up, 7 days later - got the letter and I PASSED! Still can't believe it, but i'm so glad.
I was kinda upset though, cause the questions i got in the beginning didn't seem too difficult and i thought I was getting them all right, but i guess i wasn't since it didn't stop at 75 and took me all the way to 265.
ANYWAY - i did the test at 8 am - finished around 2 and then did the trial questions after. Was out at about 2:30 pm. Got home and did the PVT around 4:30 pm - which is when i got the good pop-up.
I used uworld and also used Mark Kilemick - he's very good.
Uworld - very good questions and rationales.
Mark Kilemick - just a boss. He gives really good advise that kept me calm and cool, "if the test is still going, you still have a shot at passing", I kept telling myself, especially during my breaks, since i was so disappointed that it didn't stop at 75.
Also - don't go in thinking you will finish at 75 - go in thinking you will do all 265.
Prayer also helps a great deal. God knows how hard you work and how hard you have tried. God knows best, and when its your time, it will happen. Just gotta keep trying and stay positive.
By the way - this was my 4th attempt. Thank God this will be my last.
Also - thank you to all the people who post about their experiences. It really helps!
