Anxious mommy here.. will take nclex soon.

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and would just like to vent up what I really feel right now.

I'm going to take the nclex next month but still not so ready. My anxiety and stress level is way up high that sometimes I can not concentrate in everything I do. I have a 1yr old baby and I have a hard time on reviewing because of the erratic needs of my baby. I feel sometimes nauseated and throbbing headache which I think is due to my anxiety. By the way, I bought Kaplan premier 2015 (used) online I didn't know that you need to register online for the practice test. The premiers available on their website are for 2016 and 2017 only. It's somehow useless coz that's what I really need online practice test and I thought buying a 'used' one will save money but no. And now I'm thinking what is the best online practice test that I could get which is efficient and cheap one. Any idea? And did someone here passed NCLEX-RN even if they have baby to care of? I'm problematic on how will I review, the moment my baby wakes up I'm doomed it means I need to stop reviewing coz the baby is crying. Help..

First take a deep breath and try to stay calm. You have made it through one of the toughest college degrees with success. You have what it takes to pass the exam, you just have to focus and stay calm. It's been a couple years since I took the exam but I remember I used NCLEX 10,000 RN which is a online access that gives you 10,000 customizable questions, it's not supper cheap but it's cheaper than other options...

Just make sure that you focus and believe in yourself.

Thank you so much. It made me feel better. This will help a lot. I will probably schedule her nap and play time so I could manage my review schedules. Thank God I found this site. I learned so much about tips and review materials. Well, it's up to me in the first place. Thanks again. God bless!

I just took mine and passed.... First of all, know this... if we can do it so will u...

do not allow fear to take over... I prayed a lot, watched motivational videos, exercised, and placed everything in G-D's/Universe's hands...

We all have life going on.. I read that u have a a one year old.. Congrats to u...

if i were u, I would take 50 questions in the morning and review them throughout the day.. Breakup your study time.. Don't torture urself by sitting for 3/4/6 or more hours.. I did that... will not help...

Anxiety?

I had sleep disturbances, excema, major mood swings, and eating issues. I was an emotional wreck.. people don't understand and they will not understand u so tune them out.,

take it one day at a time...

u will pass and become an RN soon :-)...

it's all mental..

stay motivated, stay positive, and have faith..

ptactice, practice, practice taking questions and u will pass!!!!! :-) 50-75 a day...

do not make urself sick with the stress.. Trust me..

G-d bless u...
