I'm scared to take my boards.

[sashaq]

Hello

I am graduating from an ADN program next tuesday. I have already submitted everything to the board of nursing, all I have left to do is to graduate and take my NCLEX. I am not going to lie, I don't have any motivation left. I just bought uworld and I have been doing like 30 questions a day but there are days when I don't do any. So, I don't know. really scared about my NCLEX.

The worst thing you can do is put off taking NCLEX. There are scores of threads here from students who graduated, and let life circumstances prevent them from getting it done. Then a year, two, TEN go by- and they suddenly decide to do and guess what? The content is no longer fresh- and they cannot pass.

You were probably scared to start nursing school at one point. but you did it- don't let fear stand in your way. I would hate for you to be here years from now lamenting your decision.

Take a week off and just relax after graduation. Then for the next month your life should be NCLEX study. That is what i did. I did Uworld and did usually 2 tests a day and really studied the rationales. I finished the whole question bank and took the test about 5 weeks after graduation. Passed in 75. Don't put it off; it will only make it harder. Commit to studying and get it done.

Don't be scare!! Even professors do panic when they are to write exams. Be your self and learn well. And you will surely pass and pass well. It is okay to be a little nervous .
