July 2009 NCLEX Support Group

Published

I didn't see a July 09 support group thread up, so I thought I'd get it started.

I'm taking the NCLEX-RN July 3rd for the first (and hopefully only) time. I figured I'd get it done before the holiday weekend so I could at least enjoy some of the time off instead of spending the holiday chained to textbooks...as I've done for the last two years.

Good luck to all of us in July!

I can relate to this. I feel the same as well. I just want to get this exam over with.

And for those preparing using Kaplan, I'm getting similar scores. I try not to concern myself too much with the scores but ensure I understand the rationales.

Understanding the rationales has been priceless. I sit there with my Saunders/Kaplan books looking up anything I wasn't clear on in the rationales, even if I got the question right. I'm now an expert at compartment syndrome, autonomic dysreflexia and traction ;)

I think I'm also calm about it because after the last two years plus the reviewing since graduation, if I don't know the material by now, I'm not going to master it by Friday. So why get myself worked up? I'm going to try to get infection control under control (as in, what disease needs which precautions), keep doing some more questions and rationales tomorrow, and call an end to the reviewing on Thursday morning so I can relax. I think that will do me more good than trying to cram a million details in all they way up to the last minute.

I am taking mine July 14th for the 4th time (and hopefully the LAST TIME!). I've been studying hard now for about 2 months and I want more than anything to pass this time! Good luck to fellow July test takers!

I take mine mid July and I am totally freaking out. Nice to know I am not the only one. I developed a fever yesterday but with a pounding headache and my hands holding my head, I am still practicing questions.....wow!
