So on Thursday July 24, 2014 I took the NCLEX exam. For starters, it was probably the most intimidated I have ever been in my life. For one thing to check in you go through this process of scanning your hands and rules and regulations. That part alone made me want to die of nerves. The actual test wasn't as intense as I thought it was going to be but it was still pretty nerve wracking knowing that I was taking the test that ultimately determines if I start my job search or not. One thing is that the style of the questions are very similar to the Kaplan questions so even though I didn't really like the Kaplan review, I would definitely recommend it so that you can get used to the style of questions. Hurst was very helpful for me content-wise. I didn't even use my notes from school, I only studied from my Hurst book and then did Kaplan questions. so on the test day, in order to keep myself from freaking out I just though of me just taking one of the Kaplan trainers so that I could be a little more calm and focused about the situation. So I clicked away at the questions and took my time to really answer the questions well so I was totally taken back when my computer stopped at 75. the magic number! And two days later, I'm jumping for joy because I PASSED MY NCLEX!!!!! Words cannot describe the way I felt. It feels so good to literally be done and come out on top! After everything I've been through and all the stress and drama, I'm finally done and I'm finally a nurse! Now it's time to do big girl things and start looking for my dream job, right after I catch up on some fun (and most importantly some sleep lol). Hey what can I say, I'm a work in progress...
