I PASSED in 85 questions!

Everyone’s experience will be different, but you will pass and YOU WILL BE A RN!

I was finished with school December 6th. My conferral date was December 16th, and I received my att December 22nd. I always said I would test the first available date. I ended up scheduling for January 10th, the first available without crossing state lines. Like everyone, I was nervous going into this exam. On New Year’s Day I popped a tire, then the next day I fell at work, twisting my ankle and leaving the ED with a walking boot. My 2025 was not off to a good start, but there was no way I was rescheduling.

I’ll be honest, I read more posts and watched more videos of other’s experiences with the NCLEX than I did actual studying. I got serious about studying probably 5 days before my exam. I watched Mark K, Beautiful Nursing NCLEX review, and did a few assessments on ATI BoardVitals. The closer to my exam, the more nervous I got, so I finally cracked and bought Archer on January 6th. I spent the next 4 days taking readiness and cat exams. I did about 3 CAT exams which I passed, and my readiness exams were all over the place.

I finally took the exam and left feeling anxious as it shut off in 85 questions. The last 48 hours have been psychological torture, but I PASSED!!! I am officially an RN and will be starting my new job in February. If you are about to test, you got this and YOU WILL PASS!
