Anyone else have this reaction the day before test?

Published

I wonder if I've gone completely off deep end here....I am NOT worried about test, I have gone the other way: total confidence I'll pass. Between plenty of study and prayers and, well, anxiety-busters like DEEP BREATHING, lol, I feel ok about this NCLEX thing ;)

But here's the weirder part: I'm actually EXCITED to be doing this tomorrow!! Yes, excited, because I'll finally get it over with, and I know that two days after taking it I can see my results and finally be able to say "I'm an RN". :D

So, has anyone else been looking FORWARD to taking NCLEX??? Or have I finally snapped???

I've been killing time today watching daytime dramas (ER does NOT count as studying, lol, although I find myself "checking" in my head to see if what they are saying is right or reasonable!). And reading the boards :)

I leave my computer in about three hours...

i was pretty confident that i did well, at look where it got me? 265 questions. i graduated from a BSN school with a 3.0 GPA, too. good luck to you, though! don't look at the question count. just get that out of your head. i'll say a prayer!

Well, I probably would've preferred to NOT know that bit of info before walking in, lol....but I still believe in myself, and know that no matter how many questions it takes to convince the computer I know what I'm doing, I'll DO it! :)

Just wanted to send you a message before you headed out!!!! Ummm lets see...all i remember was being nervous before my exam..but kept telling myself that i would pass....i actually had a "feeling" that i would get 75 questions a few days BEFORE the exam....no idea how...i just did. Woman's intuition???? hehehehe Anyways I know you're going to pass. :) thats probably why you are looking forward to the exam!!! :lol2: Anyways really i wish you the best of luck and i know you will do fine. You know I don't really know you...but since I've been a member here you're like the first friend I met :) So i know you will do fine!!! You're very smart and I know you can do this. Congratulations in advance :balloons:

Wow, how sweet are YOU? :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence....in re-reading my post, maybe I look too confident, maybe cocky....that's definitely NOT the case (ha!) but I really have worked up a positive spin to all this for myself. I am also looking forward to 75 questions, but hey, if it takes me the whole danged thing to prove myself, so be it.

Although I'd really rather be out of there in 75....

Two more hours until I leave :)

Ok, it's time! I'll be back tomorrow after my test is done, assuming I haven't passed out on the Thruway somewhere before then.

See you then! :)

hey i just wanted to say good luck tomorrow!!

continue to think positive thoughts, and im sure that you will do fine.

im taking my nclex the day after you, and i wish i could say that i was as confident as you (im trying to psyche myself into some confidence).

just trust in yourself, and remeber to take a deep breath and say a prayer before the exam!

i hope all goes well!:)
