Argh!! I now actually feel I might make it to graduation. If I just keep pluggin' away, one step at a time, and don't let up now, I think I can pass LPN School!! However, now I am freaking out about being prepared for NCLEX. I do my practice questions and ATI testing when I have time, but I do TERRIBLE. I try to think the question through....I pull out the obviously wrong answers (if there are any) and still I pick the wrong answer about 40-50 percent of the time. I average about 60-65 percent. Sigh. If I flunk the NCLEX, all this grief over the past year will be for naught, and bridging to RN will be a mute point.

Any words of wisdom or advice you'd like to impart? It'd be greatly appreciated.

Hey there,
Well first off, if for some reason you don't pass the first time you can take it again, and actually as far as I know you can take it over until you do pass so no worries about it all being for naught, ok?

Since you are having trouble with the practice tests you should probably consider taking a review class. They teach the testing skills which are very helpful if you aren't comfortable with them already. Good luck!
