Confident...is that weird?

Published

So I take my NCLEX-RN on Thursday and I literally feel like I couldnt' be more prepared. I did very well on the HESI exit, and I've been doing tons of questions each day since as well as studying the traditional way.

All of the other people waiting to test in my intern classes are freaking out hard core, but I don't feel the same level of anxiety that they do. I mean, the 'what-ifs' do run through my mind, but I don't have that same level of freak out....which freaks me out. Is it weird that I'm not wigging? :confused:

It's fine to be confident. In fact, it may be very realistic in your case. Over 80% pass it on the first try. So, if you are well-prepared, the odds are well in your favor that you will be one of the majority.

Good luck!

I felt really confident before I took mine, too. I kept second-guessing myself, though, feeling like something must be wrong or I must be overly cocky and I'll psych myself out. When I walked out, I was sure I failed. I'm sure I got my last question wrong. But, I just found out I passed, so I guess the confidence was warranted! Good luck, I hope your situation turns out like mine! :nurse:

Better to feel prepared and confident than the opposite. Good luck.
