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."

You read my mind RNs2bRWe!! lol!

Ah, Great Minds....Pass the NCLEX!!

How about Toby Keith's "How Do You Like Me Now?"

My daughter likes it before a big ball game....pumps her up!

I also agree with Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"!

Anything loud and upbeat or harmonizing works for me so I would have Alice Cooper on one side of a tape, and the Grateful Dead on the other, and I alternated. I heard Billion Dollar Babies, Escape, and then turned on Sugar Magnolia and Box of Rain.

Not so much applicable before the NCLEX, but I thought this link might help some of you plan your post-NCLEX activities. It's CMT's 40 Greatest Drinking Songs: Morning After.

i love this thread!!!

i'm making a "road to nclex" cd right now, and thought i'd see if anyone on here did the same thing. i was looking for more songs to add.

my nclex playlist (so far):

brandi carlile--follow *this song got me through nursing school*

patty griffin--i don't ever give up

john legend--sun comes up

brandi carlile--late morning lullaby

kelly clarkson--breakaway

missy higgins--steer

u2--stuck in a moment you can't get out of

alicia keys--superwoman

kelly clarkson--thankful

fleetwood mac--don't stop

elton john--i'm still standing

i'm starting the cd with slower songs, as the 3 of us carpooling drink our coffee/tea. then, the songs will pick up the pace. we'll be driving in morning commuter traffic.

nclex tomorrow 0800.

I just bought this song on iTunes. Love it!!! Thanks for the suggestion! It's the last song on the CD. If we get to the testing center before "Just Fine", I will fast forward so we can shake out our nervous energy!

Thanks to posts on this thread, I also added--

Pat Benatar--Hit Me With Your Best Shot

The Five Stairsteps--O-o-h Child

This probably sounds crazy to all of you who are still studying, but I am so excited to take this test and be done with it forever!!!!!!!!!!!

I third Mary J's "just fine" it always makes me move. But although some may think im crazy songs like chevelle's "the red" always calm me down.
