Congratulations!! I feel the same way -- this is much more exciting than graduating in December (even though that was great too). With NCLEX looming over me, I never felt "done" with the program until I passed NCLEX and could call myself an RN. Now, we can definitely move forward in our careers! Congrats again,

Janie RN as of 2/4/06

Congratulations!!!!!!

and please share here for everybody how you did it???

How did you prepare? What books ? How many questions?

[Katie612]

I took the Kaplan course. It was very expensive, but I felt like it gave me some structure and specific strategies. I thought Kaplan's questions were similar to the actual NCLEX questions and the course book had a lot of great material for review. I also got the optional Q Bank questions from Kaplan. I answered all of those and all of the practice tests that came on the CD with the program, so in all I answered about 2000 questions to prepare, I attended the Kaplan classes, and read most of the course book. I did not use Saunders or any other test prep program. Although I am happy with Kaplan, if there are students who can't afford the $450 or so it costs, I would suggest purchasing the Kaplan book and using some other program to answer questions. I really think answering LOTS and LOTS of questions is Key!!
