Hello dear nurses,
I'm about to take my NCLEX next Monday, and I'm stressed out as it gets closer to that date! I would like to take any advice from you guys, how should I prepare for the rest of the week? What did you find helpful for yourself before taking the exam? Any specific areas that I need to review before taking it?
I would really appreciate you help. Thank you so much!!!!
God bless!:heartbeat

Everybody is different -- you have to do what makes you comfortable for testing. I'm the kind of person that studies right up until the last minute -- that is my comfort zone, anything else would increase my stress and make me crazy. Some people like to stop studying a day or two before and just relax. Do what is right for you.
If you feel you're weak in a test area or if practice tests indicate that you could improve in certain subject areas, you should do more studying in those areas. And be sure, as always, to get a good night's sleep before your test day and don't skip meals on test day. Good luck!
Thank you so much :hug:

Hi, My personal advice is to study, practice questions from Saunders! Don't try to study the night before of your test. And please control yourself. I know you will be nervous but try to think positive. Do not freak out, that is the most important thing. I have known people that have failed because they were freaking out while taking the test and also very nervous...Good wishes.
I really appreciate your help guys!!! Thanks a bunch!!!:redbeathe
