Its official! I pass! Im a Register Nurse!! Its feels really good. Thank you Heavenly Father, allnurses, all the awesome people I met here.
My source:
Kaplan Qt and Qbank: way harder then the actual Nclex but was helpful, it help me think critically.
Saunders: read the entire book 4 times (ok 5 times, 6 on some chapters:lol2:) Who knew I could actually read. A big surprise for me too I didn't know reading could be fun.
Nclex4000: I honestly can't make up my mind if this source helped me.
NCSBN: i enrolled 3 weeks. In my opinion 3 weeks wasn't enough because I read even their content.
Random Facts on the sticky notes: I must have read this like3-4 times. Somebody with a good heart put together most of the post.
PDA: very helpful.
Prayers: very important even with my busy day I did the rosary almost daily.
Also I read lots of post saying they had meds that they never heard of so I would go to American Food and Drug Administration website to check is there new drugs?? I also check American Diabetes Association, it helpful (although I didn't have questions on endocrine) they have what you need to know about diabetes A-Z they have topics that i didnt see on the Saunders Review.American Cancer, CDC (what are the hot/new issues). I figured hey I'm gonna work in America let me get myself educated..
I heard Hurst is a good review. I really wish I had this because I know it would probably help me too. But again limited funds.
Sorry I know how frustrating it is to have so much source, during my exam I had a mission to figure what source really help me so I can post it here but sorry i fail in that I don't know which one is the most helpful.
Guys my life is so hard. I didn't even have a quiet place to study. I had very limited funds I couldn't afford daycare and no one to help me not even friends/family.The father of my kids he was always tired from work when he comes home he would play xbox to relax even on his days off. For my stress reliever I go to allnurses.com as much as I can because it relieves my tension. I often wish I had at least enough funds to go get my hair/nails done or go yoga.
Goodluck to all. Please if I can do it (me who everyone around me thinks/threat me like Im dumb) If I can do it you can do it.
I'm so happy for you kabayan ! I hear what you saying.. Now it's pay off and get ready for Using the two initials after your name. Congratulations ! Soon gonna get mine too (I need your prayers?)
Aongroup1990 . You are only on your pre-requisits yet your on this website, it just goes to show how much interested you are. I have a feeling that you will do great! :)
ebonyRN_23 Hi kabayan! I would like to thank you for the support you have given me . Dont worry I continue to include you in my prayers. Till the very last second before the test I doubt myself feeling so unsure but when I started seeing the questions that feeling went away. I realize wow the test is so much easier than kaplan. Just keep reviewing and don't forget to go back on the contents that you feel your weak at.
Hi there kabayan, congratulations! I just took my NCLEX today (NJ), wondering if you ever tried this Pearson Vue trick. I want to believe its real. I had 75 question too, and I don't know. I did Hurst, with NCSBN, I read La Charity and Saunders book. Did Saunders Q/A too. Went to Hurst right after graduation (May 2012), but the NJBON took 10 weeks to process my ATT so i ended up doing all those other reviews.
Have you ever tried this Pearson Vue trick? Did it let you re-register when you took your NCLEX the first time?
Please let me know. I am dying here, can't wait for the result :-(
NurseMaricel Sounds like you did everything you could for review. Yes PVT worked for me. Its hard to believe it until you see your results. I say do something like maybe watch a movie or spa while your waiting. I had to clean and catch up with my house chores to keep me busy. :)
The pop up reads "our records indicate that you have recently scaheduled blah blah blah and contact BON, and registration cannot be made at this time..." I am hoping this trick will work for me too.
Congratulations again. You did it! And thanks for getting back to me.
Congrats OP! I am absolutely impressed by your motivation and drive to do whatever it took to pass. With that kind of attitude, you'll make a phenomenal nurse.
