I joined last September 2017.  I took the NCLEX-RN on May 14, 2018.
My NCLEX application was much easier because of the assistance I’ve got from Health Carousel together with IPass processing who were all efficient and abrupt in answering my needs and concerns. It was a great help that HC has NCLEX sponsorship.
With regards to my review, it took me roughly 5 months since I’m working and at the same time the processing of an application takes time. I used good sources of NLCEX review materials such as Saunders, UWORLD, Colgrove‘s prioritization etc. and made sure that I covered all necessary and vital topics. I did a lot of practice tests and utilized applicable testing strategies that I’ve learned since my review with the local board exam.
It was a nerve-wracking experience but with enough preparation and with the Lord’s guidance I was able to give my best shot throughout the 75 questions I’ve answered.
Always give your best in reaching your goal because in order to achieve that requires a lot of effort, perseverance and hard work. Also, always remember to seek guidance from our God Almighty as things won’t be possible without Him. Keep aspiring and you will succeed.
