I study, study, study yet still don't feel prepared

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Wow where do i begin, been out of school for almost a year in May. Still haven't taken the NCLEX my nerves are soo bad :uhoh3:. Decided to take a well needed break after graduating, so since decemeber I have been studying like a full-time job. I study every single day I was doing ATI but stop I felt like it wasn't helping :down:. So now i'm doing Saunders, Exam Cram and questions every day. I just recently started my paperwork needed to schedule for my test date, I just feel like there could be more I can do. I just don't want to fail (well nobody does) but just preparing for this exam has taken so much out of me emotionally I feel like a wreck :crying2::crying2::crying2:

I'm just really want to feel prepared, any ideas that could help with how i'm feeling:confused::confused:. When i do receive my ATT i will be taking the test rite away.

Well, Muffin, you studied WAY more than I did, so I would highly suggest reciting a few prayers...maybe try yoga, too, as that is a godsend to control breathing. That said, I'd recommend checking out my post under "long time lurker, first time poster" to hopefully calm you some more and to show you that you don't have to know EVERYTHING! It contains some wicked good prayers that assisted me in beating NCLEX. All the best.

I think there are no test-taker who feels 100% confident that they are ready for NCLEX. Just do your best and goodluck.

Pray, pray and pray. :D

Sounds like you need to go in there and take the test to get your nerves under control. There is such a thing as taking too long. Your brain is trying to tell you to get this over with.

I failed the first week in feb. I have my ATT and I am having a hard time choosing a date too. First I was like the 21st for sure. Then I am like, I don't want to **** this away and fail and have to wait 45 more days. I want to pass this time around and that it. I don't know if I'll ever be really ready. I know my husband would like me to pass already. Good luck and set a date, we can do it.
