Doubting myself: NCLEX-PN

[Catalin, BSN, RN]

I need to get advice from those who have taken this before.. I take my NCLEX on August 22nd and I've been panicing these past few days. I've been studying for 6hr/day and I've also had difficulty sleeping. No matter how much I study, I always doubt myself! I'm not the star student, I graduated my PN program with a 3.0 GPA and an ATI Predictor of 77%. I've been using the Saunders strategies book, ATI, and NCLEX-PN Mastery App. It feels like no matter how much I study, especially meds, I can never be ready for this test!

I had a 70.7% on the predictor which equals to a 90 percent chance of passing! I wouldn't worry because you have a 97% chance of passing. Just go over the items you are not that familiar with.

I just want to Clarify that my chance of passing was 77%. I'm reviewing the areas I scored low in, but Pharm always stumps me no matter how hard I study!

That's really not a bad score! My professor said students get low scores and still pass! The scores can be discouraging but as long as you have faith in yourself you got this!

How did your Nclex go? Mine is on Tuesday and I'm in a constant state of panic it seems.

It went smooth. I passed with 95 questions and I felt like I failed. Cried in the car and everything lol but I passed. It started getting harder at the end and I had about 18 SATA of the 95. Everyone has that panic feeling but you just take some deep breathes and attack that exam! Make your best educated guesses for the questions you are not clear of.

Thanks for the reply Bre! I really appreciate it! It just feels like I'm forgetting everything right now!

I felt the same way and I didn't know some things but I went with my gut.
