Freaking out about NCLEX

Published

I am taking test 5-31 and I'm freaking out here! I took Rayfield review (which was great by the way) and I'm doing theirworkbook a chapter a day plus answering questions on Saunders and Lippincott CDs. I still feel like there is sooooo much I don't know. I am still scoring in the 70's. Helllp, I need some encouragement from those of you who have taken it. Thanks! Pugs :uhoh3: :uhoh21: :confused:

Pug,

The only thing I can say to you is you are not alone. I graduated May 14, took the NEC review on May 16, 17, and 18 and I am freaking out as well. I haven't scheduled my NCLEX yet b/c every time I think I'm going to, I look over a few more questions and start thinking I don't know anything.

I told DH last night that I'm just going to schedule the test and go take it. I'm tired of freaking out, I'm tired of dreaming about the exam, I'm really tired of dreaming about cardiac disorders (yes, I spent the entire night dreaming about patent ductus arteriosus).

I'm sending good thoughts your way!

My test is on the 31st also. How many questions are you able to cover in a day in addition to reading your book? Will you have completed 3,000 by the time you test? I will be close, or right at 3,000.

I will have done about 2000 by then. Hope that's enough!Pugs

Well, I hope it's enough for both of us, because I will have done roughly the same amount. It's refreshing to know that someone else will be taking their test on the same day. What time is yours? Mine is 0930.

Mine is at 9:30 also. Four of my friends took it yesterday and said 90% was on delegations and prioritizing pts. All of theirs cut off at 75. I'm praqying mine shuts off by then. Best of luck! :rolleyes:
