Good "Dancing/singing in your car before NCLEX" songs

Published

Hey everyone! I take my NCLEX on July 27th and am in the process of making a CD for my car that I can dance and sing my heart out to on my 30 or so minute drive to the testing center. This is one of the ways for me to reduce stress before and after the test. :) Anyone have any ideas for good car singing songs? One that I thought of is Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten."

Specializes in heme oncology, critical care.

this isnt a dancing/singing song, but more inspirational:

i played the mariah carey/whitney houston song "(there can be miracles) when you believe" obsessively the whole week before my test

I like to listen to "Thousand Horses Running" by Vee befor major tests. Nothing like a heard of wild horses to pump you up for a max effort. Hay - it works for me. LOL

The night time (is the right time) by Ray Charles

Anything Beastie Boys

GOOD LUCK!!!! Let us know what songs you end up putting on the cd and of course let us know how the test goes.
