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.
RN2Be77.. The rosary was a 9 days prayer dedicated on passing the exam, a prayer to St. Jude and St. Joseph, and Sto. Nino. :) It was really good. I wish I had saved it but I deleted and threw all my notes except for this 5 rule notebook that I filled up with imp notes..
butorphanol.. Thank you. My review was on and off but I started to really focus 6 months before the test. I didn't have confident even to the very last second . Lots of tears and desperation but it all turn out to be ok.
I'm still Job hunting its been again very frustrating way harder than Nclex review. During my one and only interview so far I was asked how I deal with stress?? I didn't really thought about it it just came out of my mouth I said "I hold on to faith" The nurse manager just smile at me and actually said very good. So I think I really need to just have faith that good things will come.
