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,

Congratulations!!!!!!

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

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

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!!

Congratulations. Enjoy it, you deserve it!
