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 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
I study even on the freeway on the wey of my exam, couse my husband was driving for me ))) but I didn't pass withe 265, but every level was near the passing!!!
I'm gonna continue praying like seriously! and reviewing some lab values because as of now I can't study anymore..I feel like I'm done. My head feels so full, and the sight of a book makes me wanna puke or just sleep!
Today, I studied a little bit. And right now, I'm watching Family Guy! Tomorrow, I continue reviewing my flash cards, AN study guide and more questions till Sunday afternoon :)
Take a "full length" test and then relax. Get a massage - I'm serious. I never got a massage before my NCLEX, but one of my best friends did, and I'm still jealous! Best advice ever.
I took my test on a tuesday. The weekend before, I went to Vegas with my boyfriend. Studied a little monday but just tried to relax. Passed with 75 questions.
You've done the work. What I did: made a list of a FEW subjects I was shaky on and looked them up. For example I felt like I really needed to review endocrine before the test so a few days before I cracked open one of my old textbooks and skimmed through--got the quick and dirty! Then the day before the test I took the day off and watched movies, hung out with friends, went to dinner, and called it an early night. The day of the test I brought my notebook to the testing site and reviewed my medication notes and lab values in the parking lot. I passed in 75 questions. Such a relief.
But as others have said you know yourself the best. Do what makes YOU feel comfortable and what has worked all along.
Play the Rocky theme song about 20 times then move on to We are the Champions or We will rock you or the Flash Gordon theme song if your adventurous. Singing along with your hairbrush greatly improves your odds.
You know this stuff you'll be fine just don't get in the way of yourself.
I'm not studying the night before the test. Kudos to people who can, but I know myself and I will try to "leave no stone unturned" with the mentality that it is my last chance and sabotage myself by staying up late to study everything. For me it's about going in with a good attitude and relaxed composure so I am doing dinner and movie the night before and then listening to a mellow playlist I made on the drive in.
leanjess you are on the right track. Here are my suggestions, just relax, go pamper yourself, have faith in God, read and meditate Mark 11:22-24. Night before the exam make sure to eat nutritious dinner and sleep early, if you can not make yourself sleep,just lay in bed, close your eyes and claim God's promises from these verses. Day of exam, commit that day to God in prayer, eat well balance breakfast...believing is receiving...have faith.
Go to church on Sunday. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" Ask and you shall receive.
Thanks, guys!!

Hey I'm taking mine on monday as well, and freaking out I'm planning to study until sat. Im planing to fun stuff on sunday; just go to church pray relax and massage. I mean how much can I do cramping my brain with so much last minute, but it's up to each person. Good luck wish you the best!!!!!!!We can do this :)!!!!
I took NCLEX today. My advice would be to just relax! You can't study for the things they are going to ask you on this test! You know the stuff...just relax. I'd study labs and know those. Other than that...you'll be fine! I think. Gosh, I hope I passed!
THANKS SO MUCH, Guys!!!!!!!!!!!..For all your contributions and advice!
Yeah, on Sunday no studying..It's church, and then a birthday bash and then bed! Wake up..review AN study guide and the test at 8am! With faith, I know I will be an RN at the end of Monday!
