I wanted to help all those who wanted tips. Good luck and God Bless :)
I passed and so excited to share !!
RN nclex passed yesterday @ 8am with 75 questions!
Here is how I did it :
Bought NCSBN 3 week one and did all qbanks (read and understand ALL rationals)
look up what you don't understand.
La Charity Priority Book (about 5 chapters) really helps, ( I didn't do case studies)
Memorized labs
NCLEX RN Illustrated Book, w questions online. did as many questions as I could.
Know infection control
I studied for about a full month. 5-6 days a week . 6 hours day. 150 questions a day on average. ( I would drop son at school, go to my college lib and stay until it was time to pick him up)
Sat was a light day with 50 questions and thats it. (at home)
2 days before test I did 200 questions on each day at lib. stopped at 530 pm. I was fried. some peeps take day before off , what ever you feel works best.
Prayed, Meditated daily and watched "the secret",visualized myself in testing room passing, wrote my name with RN in journal. wrote in a journal daily.
Do a quick drive of the testing center a week before, go in and check it out. Talk to check in people to see the "order" of things. Helps !!
TEST Day: Breakfast of egg, spinach, ham sandwich on whole wheat toast. Milk, no coffee (for me no caffeine before a test helps). Left with enough time in case of traffic. I arrived about one hour sat in my car to review labs only. Prayed before test. Believed in myself. Leave cell phone in car!
I covered time and question #s the whole time. Took my own break at 50. Bathroom, Water, breathing, and more prayer.
Started again, I checked where I was about 2x) at 68 I didn't check anymore and figured okay about ten more...and BOOM screen shut off. I left scared, sick to my tummy. (nerves)
Results of my passing today at 1230.
Stay positive, stick to reading only positive posts here always to inspire. Read motivation quotes, pick one and read it daily before you study and test.
