I take my test in 23 days, I'm not scared, I'm a little anxiety. I'm just going to stay confident, stay in faith and claim myself as a nurse right now. I already prayed, fasted and got people in prayer agreement with me. I'm still studying everyday, still practicing my questions and content everyday. A few days before the test I'm going to drive to the testing center, so I can know where I'm going, know how long it's going to take me to get there, and that will also help to alleviate any anxiety. The day before the test I will not study, I will relax. The night before I will iron my clothes and lay them out, I will put my ATT papers, driver licenses, and car keys out and together. The day of the test I will eat a light meal, some protein foods and maybe a banana and bottle of water. I will go in the testing center smiling because I know when I come out I will officially be a nurse. While I'm testing I will keep positive, I will say you're doing good, you got this. When the test is over I will treat myself to something special. I will not do the pvt, because I see how it can make people lose faith. So I will wait 48 hrs. Just keep faith and have everything planned out in your head. Keep checking on allnurses to see what other people say about their exam this month, keep practicing your questions, and we will pass. Blessings!

Just go in there and do it!!!!!!!! That is what I did and am now waiting for the results. My classmates told me they wre studying so hard. My clinical instructor told me just do the sooner the better. I was scared to study because I was scared I would study one area alone and forget the rest. GOOD LUCK!
