Repeat Testers preparing for the NCLEX-RN®

"Hello, I just wanted to add my thanks to the list of happy NCLEX preppers.  I am an older RN who allowed her license to lapse and planned to return to work.  I faced taking the NCLEX exam 37 years after graduating from nursing school and I had not worked in the hospital for 18 years. I enrolled in the 2 month online course, purchased all the testing books, including Davis' NCLEX-RN Success, studied like crazy for 2 months and passed my exam a few weeks ago.  Computer stopped after 75 questions and I was the first one finished.  At the time I wasn't convinced I had passed, but I was prepared.  Review for Nurses preps you for the format of the questions as well as the obscure content of the exam.  While I never scored very high on the prep tests (62 to 84% range, with most tests being about 72%), it was obviously sufficient to pass.  I'm not sure the NCLEX accurately tests nursing competency, but it's the hoop you have to jump through to get that license.  I would highly recommend nurses who have been out of the clinical area and are returning to nursing to take any or all of the preparation products offered by ReviewforNurses.com.  My many thanks and gratitude for assisting me through this, and to Sally who encouraged me to press on despite my age and length of time away from the clinical arena.  (By the way, once I got my license, I posted my resume online, was contacted by a major hospital in my area and offered a full time job in the OR the next day.  I've been hounded by recruiters and have several interviews pending.  My confidence has soared.  Thanks again).
Best wishes, "
