TO ALL SUCCESSFUL REGISTERED NURSES!: Can you give me good tips on how to pass the NCLEX-RN like you did?

First of all, I am a new nursing graduate and I am currently taking up EMT-Basic. I am balancing my review for NCLEX-RN and the review for the EMT-B Registry. I plan to take the NCLEX-RN this January for the first time. Thanks y'all!

Get as many NCLEX review books as you can get your hands on. Look for the ones that have several comprehensive practice exams with full rationales for each answer and answer as many questions and read as many rationales as you can. Make studying the week before the exam your full-time job - try to answer at least 2000-3000 questions. And take the day before the exam off. If you didn't learn it by then, you aren't going to learn anything new in the 24 hours prior to testing. And you're not going to know everything they could possibly ask no matter how much you study.

And remember, NOBODY feels confident that they passed the exam when they walk out of the test. Try not to freak out. :)

Good luck.

Best suggestion I can give you is checkout http://NurseReview.org That website has help alot of nurses pass their NLE, CGFNS and NCLEX. Report It

Study, study, study. Use all those NCLEX books and test yourself. Study with some of your class mates. Take an NCLEX review course, a lot of hospitals offer those. Good luck to you, all I can say is that the it was the most stressful time of my life from the time I finished until I got my results the next day and knew I passed.
