4 days left till NCLEX..What do you do? Relax? Study? Cry? Pray?

Published

Hey everyone!

I have 4 days left till I take the "Little big monster"...and I don't know how to wrap it all up. I'm currently still studying :uhoh3: What did you do during your own final days/hours? What lab values are most important to memorize at this point?

I used to be nervous and a big mess for a while, but after constant prayers and having faith that come Monday..I will be an RN..I have come to make peace with myself. Like I have tried my humanly best to study, now it's time for the Good Lord to show his self and his mighty powers :bowingpur

So who is yet to take the NCLEX? Are you testing next week? How are you spending your final days? Pls s:nurse:hare your story to inspire and motivate others

When I was studying for the NCLEX I read in several places not to study the day before - relax, see a movie - just let yourself come down from the studying! That's what I did pretty much. I made some flash cards with lab values and things like that and glanced at them the morning of, but other than that, I studied right up 'til the day before and then I put it down! Good Luck!! Be prepared - the NCLEX is like no other test you've ever taken - but it is passable. When I was taking it I thought, "I don't know any of this!" but I passed in 75 questions. You know it, just be calm, call on what you know and you'll be fine!

Thanks!!!

Yeah, I hear you on the day before the NCLEX and what to do...I plan to attend a birthday bash (too much...Lol). I need to dance away the stress and anxiety build up! But yeah, I officially stopped studying today, and I'm basically just flippin thru whatever I see and think it's important for this exam. I still have to study CPR and Cardiac strips :(

I didn't really study much the couple days before the test. I went over some SATA cards and meds. I also looked over a helpful cheat sheet that someone made on here. Just search for the topic NCLEX was a joke. Thanks KobeBryant! Nice little review

Thanks guys for your input!!!

I have been doing practice questions since from the NCBSN review online, and I scored 60% on average (where 75% is the passing average!!) :( . This is beginning to make me depressed again! But oh well, I can't reschedule at this moment (my testing center is filled up till next month)! Right now, it's whatever it is. The Lord is my strength!

@oztizzi84..I thougth you were testing next week on the 16th? U rescheduled?

I stopped studying today, and just started answering practice questions. I will do this until Saturday, and by Saturday evening and part of Sunday, I will start reading the AN study guide. Then wake early to go test!... I will probably read over some test strategy from Kaplan book. Oohh I can't wait for Monday evening...hopefully I have a great news by then! (I wanna have great faith that I will have one!):bowingpur

I studied until the morning of the test. Passed with 75 questions on the first try.

Everybody is different. You may want to continue studying or relax.

I know, I myself can't ever not study until the test day. I should be constantly studying. I was this way in nursing school too. You know yourself better.
