hi, im scheduled to take the nclex pn at the end of this month. im starting to get very nervous. it will be almost 2 months after graduation and im scared its not going to be fresh on my mind. ive been using the saunders study book and cd, but it just seems too easy. the thing is, i know my material...im just a horrible test taker. any other suggestion on how to study? what were most questions everyone had? im soooooo scared. any advice would be great! thanks

I am going to take the nclex-pn on the 16th of this month. I am also very scared. We can give each other good vibes!!

I am also using the Saunders review. I am starting to just memorize the questions because the same ones keep coming up. I also have nclex made easy for the pn I am going to try that tomorrow. Good luck!

What you are feeling is very much normal, i took my NCLEX last week on the 2nd and i was a nervous wreck,lol. I thank god passed with 75 questions. I also used saunders then i started using Kaplan, i found that the kaplan questions are alot similar to NCLEX then saunders because the saunders question pop out at you, whereas the kaplan questions dont you have to sit and critically think hard. not sure if you got access to it or not but it was helpful, i found a classmate of mine who took the NCLEX earlier then i did and passed and i used the rest of her kaplan access. if you could find someone that did that then i suggest you take advantage. i graduated in may and took it in aug, all you have do is keep studying and it would b fresh. I studied for 3 and1/2 weeks before i took the NCLEX.

GOOD LUCK, have confidence!!!
