I received my eligibility letter from CA board of nursing 4 days ago,haven't registered yet in personvue. Anyway, I plan to take it (NCLEX-RN) on August!! And I'm so excited!! To all August NCLEX takers, let's share our thoughts,feelings, and knowledge, as well as review strategies towards passing nclex! I believe having that kind of relationship with others will help us pass the exam!!

GOD BLESS TO ALL OF US!! ^_^

i took my nclex yesterday for the 2nd time dunno yet the result...well what ever it is? either pass or fail? its okey.... we have many chances to take it again.:D Just dont give up! try and try and you will success,dont matter how many times you took the exam... once you pass you are an RN not counted the times you took the test... GOODLUCK to all!:)

I am taking my boards next week and am so nervous, that I feel sick. I feel like I have not studied enough ( been studying 3-5 hours a day ). I feel like I am no longer retaining any of the info. :stone So today I limited myself to only 1 hour of study which is making me even more neurotic, because I know the time is getting closer.:eek: I did well in nursing school, and really really well on tests. Yet, I am so scared and I don't know why. I was not this scared and nervous when I took my LPN boards. So, anybody else feeling this way the week before?

Noflex, we will do fine on the exam.:p Thanks, I was feeling silly about my own feelings and it really is a BIG help to know I am not alone. In my head I know it is common to feel this way before NCLEX but the rest of me feels nauseated.:barf01:

I hope they let me have a barf bag just in case. :chuckle Anyways, I really am getting so anxious. I wish I could just go tommorrow and get it over with. I promise I will take some Pepto before I walk into the test center.:D

]There's something else we have in common. Nervous stomachs! The NCLEX-PN was not too bad till I was driving home and it hit me that I had just " failed " the test. Which I didn't. I had passed. :D But I am soooooo much more nervous about this one. I feel unprepared. Everything I read makes me feel stupid. ( I know I'm not but.............) I'm just going to take the morning off from studying tomorrow and just have some me time. The worst that can happen is I fail and have to do this again.:no:

Hi there!!! im taking NCLEX RN next week,and im having a lot of anxiety/ stress right now. i never got a chance to review much since i work full time. I tried kaplan online..halfway through..before i know it my subscription ended..im so mad on myself..coz i paid much and never used it much..i bought saunders 4th edition, that's what im doing right now reading and answering Q's. hopefully it will help....:)..by the way im new to this thread...i graduated in the philippines and moved here..i took my first board of nursing 1997..and it feels great to pass the first time..since then i worked as a nurse and had a lots of experiences. i just hope it helps me move on to become a U.S nurse...but i set my minds whatever happens our life and our dreams must go on...funny thing is i had a lot of friends way back..that didnt pass the first time..eventually made it.. and they wer better than me or lets say same better as me.hehe ...so for those of us that will going to take NCLEX just remember that its not how many times we take the test pass or fail. it's the commitment for becoming a nurse and a quality of care we give to our patient..so best of luck and may god bless us all!!!:loveya:

HA! I totally hear you!! :clown: When I took my LPN boards, I don't remember it being this nerve-wracking. I'm taking my RN boards on the 26th. Nervous doesn't even seem to cover what I'm feeling. I study and feel more moronic with every passing day. :jester:

Woodholl, I am glad I'm not the only nervous LPN.:( I take mine this next week, although I am telling anyone exactly what day. Even my husband does not know. I am planning on telling him I need a break from studying and that I am going " shopping ".:chuckle Hopfully, that will eliminate at least a little stress.:D

Well, got home from taking the NCLEX RN. Shut off at 75 and would you believe 13 SATA's!!!!! At one point, I had SATA back to back! Two math problems (one mg/kg/min and one units) and tons of meds. The meds are ones that I saw in my Kaplan questions and it was always down to two answers. All I can say is if you have Kaplan, do the qbank questions, trainers etc. and you should do fine on the exam..as long as you know what is being asked and why you answered it wrong. Sad to say, but I learned more from Kaplan and researching what I answered wrong than I feel I learned in nursing school (so much busy work.) I will be able to get results on Sunday? hopefully. Right now, I don't know how I feel about the test, just can't wait for the results.:eek:
