FINALLY

[WeirdNurseKelly, BSN, RN]

So today is my official graduation day from nursing school. I have gotten my authorization to test and have scheduled my NCLEX-RN for Wednesday the 9th. Am I crazy for scheduling so soon after graduation? When I took the ATI GN predictor I got a 99% pass rate for the NCLEX. Maybe I am just paranoid. I just want to get it over with and start working already!!!!

Congrats, good luck on your NCLEX. I still have 3 semesters to go til I finish my BSN..

By all means, get it over with!

Then you can tell all your classmates how it went...if your class is anything like mine was, you might have voicemail messages asking about it before you even leave the test center!

I have 1 more year left and I plan on taking it as soon as possible after. Instead of stress about it, I'd rather just get it done! Congrats and good luck!!

WooooHOOOO!!! Very exciting and congratulations! Ya know, I'd be ok taking the NCLEX that close after graduating I think. I mean, the info is fresh, you are motivated and you can take it again.

Good luck to you this week! Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest and schedule a massage for the day after.

A massage sounds totally great. Just a little freaked out. This time last year I had a massage to relieve stress from my 3rd term, I ended up in the hospital for a night with a gallbladder attack. I have been terrified to have a massage since then. Psychosomatic thing I guess.

I am glad to get it over with now, less time I have to have anxiety and stress from the big test.

Thank you all for your encouragement and positive thoughts. For those of you who haven't taken it yet it has been a tough and frustrating road at times but you get through it. I will keep you posted on my results as soon as I find out.
