Couple questions from a soon-to-be LVN

Hello all! I have a couple questions, if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it! Well, I finished my LVN courses earlier this year, and I'm taking my NCLEX-PN at the end of this month. I've been reviewing with the Saunders NCLEX review book, and I've mainly focused on the test questions, taking them, reading over the rationales, etc. I'm consistently getting 75-85% on average on all the practice tests and quizzes. I probably do about 150-300 questions a day, occasionally a few more give or take. I'm feeling confident about going into the NCLEX, but anxiety is doing it's number on me! I'm just curious how others did on their review tests/quizzes and if they helped, didn't help, or whatnot.

My other question is about after getting licensed (which is hopefully soon!). During clinicals, I really enjoyed wound care and ICU, and am interested in possibly specializing in these areas. I've had many people tell me I should do general nursing my first year before specializing. Has anyone gone straight into specializing? I'm just interested in what other people have done, how the transition was, all that. Also, if anyone has other specialties they may think would be fun as well (somewhat related to wound care/ICU), I'd love to hear them, especially from male nurses since I happen to be a male as well!

I'm excited to start off my career as nurse! I plan on going for my RN within a few years, but after the fun that was nursing school, I need to work to regain my sanity and get back into the swing of things, so to speak. Any advice/opinions/encouragement is GREATLY appreciated! I hate pre-test jitters, just trying to hear some good words before experiencing the "fun" (as I've heard) that is the NCLEX. Thanks all!
