How do you know when you're ready for NCLEX?

Published

:eek: I take the NCLEX in a few weeks.. not sure if I know I am ready. I have finished saunders 3rd edition and almost through with the Q & A averaging about 85%. I still think there is so much more i need to know.. esp the medications! Any tips guys? :eek:

Does it follow that A students have better chance of passing the NCLEX the first time? Does it mean that if you passed the NCLEX with 75 questions you really did good in school?

I have not seen any such study. The best predictor of passing NCLEX first time is having been US educated. After that, it's how well you've prepared, not how smart you are.

I take the BIG One next Friday. I already have butterflies in my stomach. I have battled test anxiety all the way through school but usually the nerves would not kick in this early. Any suggestions?

hey turtletyme.. good luck on your NCLEX!!!! :wink2: I take it the week after you.. and yes the anxiety is almost killing me! Never feel prepared enough but you know what? we've done all we could.. and freaking out is not going to help at all. It is time to kick some NCLEX a**!!

I agree gracie. Lets go kick butt and take names. :lol2: :lol2: I just recently took the Hesi exam and passed. I have been told the Nclex is easier than the Hesi exams. Personally, I thought the Hesi was hard as nails. turtletyme l
