Hello everyone, you may remember me from these past months. I have finally passed my RN NCLEX examination, after graduating last May. I didnt get the letter in the mail yet, but my name and license number has been posted on the NY nursing board!! I guess third time is the charm. I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful support throughout the months, I really appreciate it!!
Also like to thank my friends, family and almighty God!! f I can do it, then so can all of you, if you put in the effort and dont give up!
Thanks. Honestly the pharm wasnt too bad I guess. I had 2 medications that I knew, thanks to the study review and the common medication side effects that they drilled into our heads lol. I also had one medication on herbs, that was straightforward. So know your common herbs!
The EKG was okay, if you learn how to differentiate the major types and the interventions needed for them. With the SATA(i hates them!) I just treated them as true and false and hoped for the best. These ones really required you to know content on the topic being asked. No decision tree or strategy can help with these, from my experience and the priority wasnt so bad, if you study your disease processes.
I didnt get many delegations which sucks, because those are my favorite kinds..but ofcourse the exam doesnt give me the ones I like lol.
Woo hoo!!!congrats to you ! I too am hoping for a three times a charm :/ may I ask what u this time and how long you prepared for ? Thanks ahead for any tips and suggestions ! Much appreciated.
And to stdntnurse, I took a 4 day review course, then i studied the contents and notes little by little each day. I did this for 4 weeks rights after the review, then I took the exam. The day before the exam, all I did was review questions based on each category tested on the NCLEX(management, health promotion, pharm,basic care etc) I also reviewed common medications and EKGs for 2 days before the test, so they remain fresh in my head, lol.
It was recommended to take the exam no more than 4 weeks after the review class.
