Nclex in 5days. What to do?

Students NCLEX

Published

I am getting more anxious. This will be my 2nd attempt and Praying that I will pass this exam. I just got my hospital job too I was so happy because the Director hired me. Plus I am a mommy of a toddler which makes me difficult to study I know I'm trying my best and God will guide me :) I;m making myself more POSITIVE. I know I will make it. :yes:

If you have your core content (including fundamentals, infection control and priority/delegation) you can whip NCLEX this next time. I'm sure since you are familiar with NCLEX you reviewed the areas/strategies and are ready to go.

Read questions/answers carefully and pick the "best" one. You can do this!! :)

Anything you study now will not show up on the test...guaranteed. :) You can look over simple memorization things if you want, or practice some more questions. Don't study too much though, and give it a rest 1-2 days before the test.

Just relax, take care of yourself, and be confident. Read each question carefully and remember...if you're getting tough questions like SATA's, you're doing great!

Also, if you're the praying type which it sounds like you are, this is what I prayed before my test: http://www.ithaca.edu/sacl/catholic/prayers/test/

This is part true, as there are some "vague" or "obscure" questions within NCLEX testing on critical thinking skills and not so much nursing. However, that said, I'd say at least half my test was on stuff I knew - fundamentals, infection control, core concepts (cva, hypertension, psych conditions/meds, herbals, pediatric through elderly stages (know milestones), procedures, few q's with labs, etc.). A good dozen priority/delegation questions. Infection control/precautions showed up a bit too. Overall, the more strategies you have down (look for key words to help you eliminate and obvious wrong answers) will get you to the correct answer. Very often you will see 2 answers that look correct - read each of them over and think which is the BEST and why!! Best of luck! You can do it. :)
