OK, so I visited the test center today--so glad I did, as it's located in an ENORMOUS office complex and I would have had trouble finding it... As I went inside the main doors and wound through the maze of corridors, my heart started beating out of control!! By the time I found the test center I felt my chest tightening, and needed to close my eyes and focus on breathing...
My reaction took me complete by surprise--I didn't think I was that stressed out about the exam. I didn't have trouble w/test anxiety all through nursing school... what was going on? I otherwise spent today relaxing, playing a round of golf and going out to lunch, chatting with friends, etc. Any suggestions on what I can do tonight and in the morning to keep me calm as I head in for the real deal at 8AM tomorrow??
