Got the BSN, now on to the NCLEX

[LDAthleteNurse, BSN, RN]

I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX on the 8th. I scored a 900 on my HESI, but I'm still really nervous going into the NCLEX. Was/is anyone else as nervous as I am when preparing to sit for the NCLEX? Any tips? I feel like I have SO much riding on this exam because I already have a job lined up contingent on me passing this exam. No pass, no job. Just a ball of nerves right now..

You will pass Athlete2bNurseBSN..

I've taken NCLEX twice over the past 10 years. I took NCLEX-PN at the very end of 2005 and NCLEX-RN in 2010, and passed both on the first attempt after having answered the minimum amount of questions.

In my opinion, NCLEX is not that difficult. The passing standard is so low that a test taker only needs to correctly answer about 50 percent of the higher level questions in order to pass. Four out of every five candidates pass NCLEX on the first attempt.

Good luck to you. You will knock it out of the ballpark.

Thanks so much! Everyone says that NCLEX is much easier than HESI, but I'm afraid I'll be that 1 out of 5 that thinks it's harder lol. You made me feel much better, thanks!

Good luck y'all! Just finished too (961 on exit HESI but my parents were in town for pinning so I literally did NOT study, just sat through our HURST review..!). Still waiting for my ATT and our credentialing folks are out until Monday (not sure if they're open at the end of next week around New Years'..!) -- was really hoping to take it somewhere between Jan 10-20 but we shall see..!
