Been a lurker since my first try and I can finally say I passed!! It was a rollercoaster of a ride but we made it!

I was not a bad student per se, but also not a good one. I used u-world initially but failed bc of my study habits plus their rationales were a bit too overwhelming for my style. Switched to bootcamp and I LOVED their crash course videos and case studies. Studied almost every day (3-4 hours) for 40 days, taking mental breaks for 1 day of the week. I also watched Dr. Sharon, Mark K and NCLEX crusades.

My questions were mostly prioritization and care planning. I had about 5-8 SATAs, 3 case studies, and 2 bow ties. My last question was a SATA. And yall, one of my case studies was on altitude sickness. I wanted to walk out then and there bc wtfff.

Anyway, I took almost the full 5 hours. I used 3 of those erasable boards bc I really wanted to make sure I wasn’t skimming through the questions and I think that helped tremendously. I took two breaks as well because I refused to take breaks in my previous tries (I wanted to get it over with, big mistake on my part there).
