You will pass NCLEX because I passed

[kleona]

I found out today that I passed with 75 Q. After 48 hr (48 years sound better) the NCLEX empire is down. I am now a "free" person, I am an RN.

Don't you dare think that you will not pass. All the hard work will be paid back. You are not afraid of anything since you survived nursing school.

My tips:

• Practice questions as many as you can.
  
• Read the rationale
  
• Kaplan is great, but expensive. Do some web research you will find the Q-trainer Q&A all 7 of them for free.
  
• NCLEX 3500 has SATA very similar to NCLEX.
  
• Make sure you read "Anyone for random fact throwing" is a sticky now, and contribute yourself.
  
• For those that have time Susan's plan sounds good, but for others questions, questions, questions.

Good Luck and God Bless all of you.

thanks everyone. i wish you all the best.

please make sure for a topic that you study know what exactly they may ask on nclex.

for example: after thyroidectomy what could be a problem?

the answer is hypocalcemia r/t damage of parathyroid glands with 2 famous titany signs: trousseau sign and chvostek sign.

another problem after 10 hours hoorificeness of voice is r/t damage of vocal cords etc....

after cardiac cath you always check for hematoma (bleeding), check pedal pulses bilaterally etc...

i will think some other tips later.......... please let me know if i can be of any help.

you will pass!!!!
