Right now I don't feel like studying anymore...! But I'm getting nervous! I haven't even picked up a book today and I'm going out tonight . At this point all I feel like doing is pray, pray and pray!

Well I'll get serious tomorrow! :rotfl:

I'm going the day before you and I study now like crazy. I studied the whole month and even before, but now I feel like this is the last review, because i will do this test only once. I will pass! Now I make sure that I will. The last day I will rest and get ready but still have couple of days for crazy review, I'm happy I can use now every minute.

Just sit down relax and study, it is only once in your life you do it and that it is. You are done.

Please put your all brain cells together and Bit the NCLEX up!!!!!

We will pass !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully, I'll be taking it sometime in August, probably later in the month. I haven't gotten my paperwork back so hopefully they'll send me a date to take it soon. I sure hope it doesn't take too long to get a test date. I'm taking my PN boards so I can work as an LPN instead of a CNA while I finish my ADN. How long does it take for them to send you a date? I guess it depends on what state you're in.

I'm about to do a ERI review but I'm so not stressing about it. I'm making a hard effort not to freak...and you KNOW how hard that is!

You really deserve a night out!! Hope you have fun!

I am taking my test August 9th also. I studied like mad in the beginning to June then I went on a 2 week vacation, felt like I forgot everything, came back and have been studying ever since. I am absolutely freaking out. I have been mean as heck to my poor husband and I had a nervous breakdown tonight.

I feel like overall I do well it's just I don't do as well on specific questions about diseases or lab values.

I know that I just need to calm down but I am a complete mess. I can't sleep or eat.

I am using the Saunder's Comprehensive review as my main resource. I get about 75% of the questions right when I review off of the CD. I don't know what I should be getting to feel like I know enough to pass.

I'll cross my fingers for you guys. Do the same for me.

Hey,

I feel like that too. I'm good with prioritization and delegation but really specific questions with diseases such signs and symptoms I get messed up. Also when it comes to meds I can not remember anything else but dig, lasix, heparin, coumadin , theophyllin, haldol. Anything else I simply can't answer. I know my labs still need to review hematocrit but to me that is a last minute thing.

Well I'm just sick of questions and studying I wish I had scheduled earlier. :uhoh21:

Don't get a nervous breakdown that will just make you anxiety level worse and you might not be able to perform. I have been studying in the most relaxing way. If I don't feel like studying I just don't. When I feel like it nothing stops me and I perform and retain so much better. I wanted to do up to 200 questins per day but I can bearly do 150. So I just make sure I do 150 and that is it. I am not cramming down 200 - 500 questions that I won't rememebr or that I will be to tired to read the rationals. I would rather have and know 150 per day that I would definately remember.

I know it's hard but we have been through the hardest part nursing school!

So please don't get a nervous breakdown.

Unfortunately for me, I still have 6 more months of nursing school!!! I am taking my test early because I have finished all the nursing requirements, but need 1 more semester of stuff for my bachelor's. But I have gotten through the hardest part of nursing school. :) I only know one other person from my school taking it early, but she's not taking it 'til september so I feel like I am doing this alone. I know I didn't have to take it early but it made more sense than trying to take it in January with all the holidays and stuff.

I know I need to stop stressing out. I get frustrated by how long it takes just to go through 100 questions. I realized that I need to go through the book and do the questions there because it breaks up the monotony of pointing and clicking and in the book I can underline and cross off and it makes me feel like I am doing something and retaining more.

We are all going to do just fine and pass!!!!

I'm taking mine August 8th. ahahahahahaha!!!! This week is crazy study week for me. I have been doing 200 questions per day up until last week. I was babysitting a friends children and didn't get a chance to do questions. I just read and read and wrote out index cards of quick notes. I've been studying since mid June. So this week is catch up time for me!!! YIkes!!

I'm ready to take this test and at this point, my attitude is this! I don't care if I get all 265 questions, as long as I pass on the FIRST try!!!

Good luck to everyone!!!
