6 Days before NCLEX RN

[AngelAsherah]

Hi guys,

I am so excited to take the exam since I was studying from January 21 but then when I saw the confirmation of my appointment today, I almost wanted to throw up. Lol. April 10 is my big day. I graduated 2009 but employment for nurses from where I came from is really bad, you need to volunteer (no allowance or whatsoever, literally free service) without the assurance of getting a slot. I worked part time as a customer service agent and worked in the hospital for free on weekdays but I have bills to pay so I decided to take a completely different path. After 3 years, suddenly a door of opportunity opened. I quit my job so I can focus on the review because I'm back at one. I literally gave up everything for this.

I am hoping that I can nail it the first time. Please pray for me.

Thank you!

I'll be praying for you Angel. You can do this! I agree with Sasha RN to read every question. On my exam, there were countless times where I saved myself from answering incorrectly (the 2nd best answer) by taking a moment to re-read the question to make sure I was answering exactly what it was asking. I don't 100% agree with ppl who say the test isn't hard. I took it 3x, passed on the 3rd attempt. on my last attempt I finished with 76 questions and I still thought the exam was hard... BUT really, in regards to difficulty of the exam I think it is MOST IMPORTANT to remember EVERYONE's exam is different! When you go in there, free your mind of any concern about the question's lvl or difficulty. On both my 1st and 2nd attempt I was stressing(and/or paying too much attention to) the type of questions I was getting. On my 3rd attempt, I obviously recognized the type of question I was on; but regardless of its form I stayed focused to that question. (don't expect for the exam to shut off after #75) In my opinion, the best thing I did on my 3rd attempt was going in there expecting all 265 questions...it helped me to really keep my head in the game.

Stay focused, pray often, and stay positive.

Right... I'm starting to feel that too though I'm trying my best to calm myself. Get really nauseous sometimes. It feels different when you're the one taking the test. God bless to us. :)

LOL. Wow. I needed a good laugh. Couldn't stop laughing when I was reading your post and you said,

"I was studying from January 21 but then when I saw the confirmation of my appointment today, I almost wanted to throw up"

I felt that same way. I take mine on April 17th.
