Wise Advice

For each of us, the NCLEX is both a different journey and the same journey all combined into one huge anxiety test.

People need to vent on here, to express anxiety and doubts about this trick ( that really does work) and to get support from fellow board members.

They do not need to be ridiculed nor torn down because they are anxious about their results.

The NCLEX is a horrid test and I can atest we all feel the same way when we get out of Pearson Testing Center~~~ a sickness in the pit of our stomach, crying and major anxiety issues.

We log into Pearsonvue hundreds of times while awaiting our " official" results just to see if by chance they made a mistake and it lets us re-register. How many times do we click refresh on the BON site to see if our status has turned to " active" yet? I have been there done that...........and know exactly what many are going through.

To all who have done this journey and to the thousands yet to do the test, know that you are not alone and there are many people here that will support you along the way. Yes, some posts are the same over and over again....but this is an individual life changing experience.......lets make sure we respect each other and treat it that way.

For those who fail the test, keep at it! Don't let it win! Go into the test calm and determined. And you know what, if you fail........you won't be the 1st nor last to do so. Just get back up on your feet again, chalk it up to experience and re-register for the test again.

Good luck to all and ignore the ones who run you down. We are nurses and WE ALL ROCK!
