I've been studying like mad....Kaplan questions, Virtual ATI, Lacharity..it's been weeks, I test tomorrow afternoon, and I still feel like I know a little about everything..it's frustrating..I feel in my heart, I am ready...but the anxiety is eating away at me....I used to be so confident, but I feel nursing school has me into a complete wreck and worry wort...I cannot wait until the nclex is over. I want my life back!

Thank you for letting me vent.

I hear ya! I feel exactly the same way! The more studying I do, the less I feel like I know! I am a complete mess, If I fail, it will be because I throw up on the computer. All you can do is go in there, and do your best! And try not to barf anywhere. :lol2:

That was me last Wednesday. I took the nclex on Thursday and passed!!!

I gotta tell you something.... I did V-ATI through my school because it was a requirement, I also did the Kaplan and Lacharity book. Now..... You know with ATI they want you to get a 60% on the comprehensive test (for a good probability of passing), well, I got a 56% on it, I retook it and got a 62%. I seriously had my doubts because all of my classmates were getting high 60s-70s... I got a 61% on the Kaplan CD that came with the book. I thought I was going to be the only one in my whole class to fail... NOPE! I did it, and you can too!!!!!!!

You can do it!!!!!!! Just have a positive attitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell yourself that you will pass! and you will!!!!!

Let us know how it goes!

Also... When I finished the test, I thought forsure I failed the darn thing.... I really did think that! I wasn't even going to do the PVT, but I ended up doing it anyway, and got the good pop up. It really helped me calm my nerves... then right away the next morning at 6:30, I found out on the BON website that I did pass!

I've been getting scores from 61-78%...mostly around 65 to 70%. My program used the ATI as well, which most of us didn't like...but now I realize it has helped me immensely...to the point where I enrolled in the VATI due to the easy access at home & self paced format. My fav has been the LaCharity book, though....I had an issue with Priority style of questions, but not anymore..:-)...the overall med -surg content has me most nervous. We'll, I'll see tomorrow @ 2:00 p.m...Jersey time! Off I go to answer a few more questions. I'll be sure to update my of my thoughts & feelings of the exam.

I'm back from testing...I was done in 50 mins...75 questions...A ton of Priority, Infection control..1 math, 5-6 sata and some psych & peds..overall, I felt neither confident or doomed walking out of the testing center. I just tried the PVT trick and got the good pop up! It's time to pop in the Black Eyed Peas CD because I got a feeling!!!:yeah:

Thank you all for your well wishes and support. This site is the greatest!
