Hey there Jon Congrats!!!! I am very much new to this site but I have read several threads in thepast and finally decided to register.
I desperately need advice and this is for everyone.
I graduated in Dec 2007 from nursing school. And decided to take Kaplan in Jan and took the NCLEX in Mar. Unfortunately I failed the exam with 75 questions. I was completely stressed out. I know I studied but not to my full capacity. In addition I also went away on vacation before the exam and had two weeks to prepare.
Currently I am planning to retest on May 28th and am very nervous. I repeated the Kaplan, did q bank and q trainer completely and have done close to 1700 questions. My major problem is anxiety and difficulty with critical thinking.
Please any advice would be helpful.
I am desperately in need of passing.
Help!!!! I have been studying and a, praying I pass
Thanks,
thoughtfullady

Jon,

Thank you for your post... it made me smile!

I can definitely relate to your anxiety. I have one more semester of nursing school to go and I'm a nervous wreck about taking the NCLEX. I've already started studying for it. I'm especially nervous about knowing my drugs because I have a terrible time memorizing drug names and the gazilion SE that go along with each one. My chest feels tight just thinking about it!!

I would appreciate you passing along any tips you may have.

Thanks! and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Debbie

Yeah..the meds thing..--i bought that KAPLAN meds in a box, its supposed to ahve 300 of most "comonly" used meds on the NCLEX-i "reviewed" them best as i could, i would look for "trends" with meds, like the system it affects-to kinda narrow down options for answer choices and look for the "weird" side effects-NOT n/v, headache-stuff like photosensitivity, urine truninfg color, etc...-

try to eliminate as many answers as you can-like i said, i got about 80 meds !! and i knew about 1/3--to say, that i saw the med and knew it was a nswer B or whatever, the rest-i hade to narrow it down to 2 or 3 answers---a few i had absolutely no idea and it was a "dart" toss.

Good luck on your test.
