| Nclex test. |
Hello nurses.
My name is Maria, I am from Spain, and I recently passed Nclex with 75 questions at the second try.
In
this video, I will explain you what I did the second time that I took
the Nclex that I didn't do the first time.
The
first time, I used Nclex a summary from an Nclex- RN student (Click here to download it)
. However, although it was very useful as a summary to review the
information, it was not the best option for passing the boards. I strongly recommend
you to use it because it is plenty of mnemonics and because it is a great summary but, use it as a review and not as a first source of
information.
Since
nurses educated in the States have approximately a 80 percent of chance of passing
Nclex at the first time, you want to do the same that they do. For
that reason, I recommend you to learn about strategies for passing
Nclex. As I said in the previous video, nurses here learn a lot of
tricks and strategies for passing Nclex. Strategies about
prioritization, delegation, mnemonics…. And you want to do exactly
the same.
For
learning strategies I recommend you to get this book: Kaplan NCLEX-RN
Premier. This book provides many useful tips for passing Nclex.
This
two things was the most important things I did the first time I took
the Nclex.
For
the second time, I decided do my best for passing the test and It
worked out.
I
read the whole Saunders Comprehensive Review for NCLEX-RN Exam - With
CD - 5th edition. I know it is overwhelming, but it was super useful.
I also answered all the question in the book. The question of the
Saunders books are easier that Nclex but these question help me to
understand and complete the information of each chapter in the book.
Another
thing that I highly recommend you, it is pay for Kaplan
Q-bank. Kaplan's questions are the most similar to Nclex and for
training for Nclex are the best.
With
all of this, I wanna say you that is it better to trust in the main
brands. Brands that have been years training nurses and help them to
pass Nclex. I trusted in Kaplan and Saunders and I would do it again.
The
Nclex preparation took me around 5 months of study but that depends of when did you finish your degree. I finished mine 7 years ago.
For
finishing, I want to add a couple of things:
First,
don't read about other people's experience . You are an individual
with your own circumstances. Each person has his own story and it is
probably different than yours. In addition, reading about other
people's experience make you feel stress and that is the last thing
you want to feel during the test.
Second,
The
results takes 48 hours. So, although you take the test on Friday, you
will have the results on Sunday.
The Pearson Vue trick works but you must to be willing to spend 200
dollars because for doing it you must to go to the end. However, If
you dont passed it you have to pay it anyway and If you passed it,
you will have the 'pop up' and any amount of money will be charged in
you account.
