You can pass the NCLEX

Published

Calm down, I know that if you are here reading these threads then you are anxious, I know because this was me a week ago and I stalked these threads looking for something NEW. I took my Nclex last week, and today I officially received my RN license in the mail :yes:

Here is my opinion for whatever it is worth. If you made it through nursing school, you can pass the NCLEX. I believe that the test is about your thinking process, not what you know and what you dont know. YES ... you have to know nursing fundamentals, but hopefully you learned those in school.

The test is full of trivial things, things you did not study, you can't study, you would never think of to study in a million years, and you get the answer by thought process, not by content retention. It is my best advice that you should do tons of questions, and read the rationales of the questions you got wrong, and try to understand why your thought process was wrong. If you haven't studied one already, study a critical thinking strategy. I read Kaplans didn't memorize it, but got the gist of it.

Most importantly try your best to remain calm, focus on what you learned in school, not what you didn't. Take your time with the questions and go through a process of elimination with each question. Have faith that you have been equipped with the knowledge necessary to pass this test, because you have -- you just need to believe in yourself, and don't doubt yourself. I know this is easier said than done, but panic is not going to help. Remember you probably won't feel confident when you leave there, very few people do, but have faith in yourself.

Yes, the PVT was accurate for me, and I did it about 20 mins after I took the exam! Good luck to everyone!
