First timer with the NCLEX-PN

I take the NCLEX-PN tomorrow (Thursday). I don't think I've ever been so nervous for something in my life! I didn't go crazy with the studying because I figured there is SO much information I learned as a nursing student that there is just no way I could remind myself of it all. I know for the most part I need to have simply retained a lot of the info. Plus the test is so randomized, what am I to focus studying on? I have done about 4 hours in my Saunders review book and I'm going to go hard in it today for my last time. Did you study a lot? Or did you not overwhelm yourself? The last piece of hope I'm clinging on is I had the highest HESI exit exam score. But that's not a get out of the NCLEX free pass, so I'm still storing it in the back of my mind. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

    I took mine today. However this was my 2nd attempt with NCLEX PN. The first time I maxed out at 205 and failed with "Near passing standards" in July. This time I got around 150? Did PVT trick right when I got home. Got the "Good Pop up" and BON posted minutes later.

    I think everyone has their own way of studying. I've read alot of people don't study the day before and just relax. However I didn't. I studied my butt off last night, and couldn't sleep, was a nervous wreck!!!!!!!

    How I studied: Learning the differences (ex. hypovolemia, hypervalemia), Learing suffix of Drugs, Precautions, Delegations, LAB values, Diets (Ex: celiac disease= NO Gluten) I used Exam Cram 3rd edition, Saunders 5th edition, PN Nclex notes by alllison.

    Here are some sites I also took my time to go through

    24nurse - MNEMONICS & NCLEX STUDY GUIDE

    They are really helpful!

    But my personal advice, do a TON of practice questions. My first NCLEX I did more reading rather than questions. And go in feeling confident. Don't look into the question too much, because in the NCLEX world there is no "What if's" so immediately eliminate that out of your head if you get stuck on the question. The answer is right in front of you, you just have to put it together. and another thing.. Get off this site and get to stuyding!!! =P Also practice questions with SATA

    BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!!!
