Officially A Registered Nurse Superhero: Steps I took to pass the NCLEX two weeks after graduation!

by | Jan 28, 2018 | Nursing, Tips

I worked super hard to become a SUPER-NURSE. I PASSED THE NCLEX-RN! I’m officially a Registered Nurse! Praise God!

48 hours later, 75 questions completed, 2880 minutes of wondering if I answered all the questions horribly and maybe that could be the reason why my exam shut off at 75 (LOL) …..I finally saw those four beautiful letters P A S S.

For all nursing grads who are taking the NCLEX soon: I used Hurst Review & UWorld to prepare. My school requires all graduates to take the Hurst review course — my class decided to complete the 3-day live review (the day after our final exam review). I completed the live review, watched the additional videos, and completed their four 125 question practice exams. Love love love how understandable and condensed they make 2+ years of nursing school material. I also did 500 UWorld questions which had great rationales and pictures. It also helped to have to challenging nursing school exams because it allowed me to critically think on questions I wasn’t 100% sure about.
