June 2008 NCLEX support group

Published

This thread is for any upcoming graduates taking NCLEX in June of 2008.

To start off with I would love to hear if anyone is taking Kaplan, or Drexel or other prep courses and why did you choose the one you did? I am looking into them and I am just not sure which one is best and why.

Thanks!

I can't get myself to start studying this AM...every time I start, I end up back on here and my MySpace page. LOL

I swear, I "REALLY" need a 'vacation'.....I really need to pass the NCLEX next week!!! OK...here I go to try again!

:yldhdbng:

I know exactly how you feel. I think I have spent about 3 hours doing questions since May 10th and that is about it. I don't know what it is and I did think about rescheduling my test tomorrow but I know nothing will change so I will just have to try my best. Good Luck to you though.

No that stuff is really bad, you must call your Doc and ask for some XANAX but don't take on the day of the test :icon_roll, just the night before, ask for a 0.25mg and that stuff is wonderfull really, I only have one pill and I am saving for the night before the test. I have terrible test anxiety!!!:sstrs:

For all of you to still test - here is what helped me: Do not study the day before (For my test - no amount of studying would have helped at all), The morning of the test - Eat a piece of toast and a couple of pieces of bacon. It will help calm your stomach. Take 2 aspirin (I was told it would help the blood flow to your brain but it at least kept a headache away). Remember to breath.

I tested yesterday morning at 8 am and found out at 9 am today I Passed. A girlfriend went with me and she finished her test 3 miniutes after I did and her results are not up yet????? We both had 75 questions (I think my heart stopped when the screen went gray then blue) and I finished in 57 minutes.

Good luck and my prayers to all still to test.:yeah:

congratulations squirmals and baking nurse!!!!!!!!!!!!! :up::yeah:

not have to test? lol!.....too funny! ok, i'd actually want to test anyway, just to see if i would pass or not. it'd be easier if it wasn't such a big deal! :clown:

i read some more in my medspub review book, and just finished a 100-question saunder's test, and i did 75%. i sure wish i could get it to at least 90%. :confused:

i just have to keep telling myself i was making in the 60%'s mainly on the hesi cd, :imbar but i made a 93.45% on the hesi test.

ok...i'm going to walk on the treadmill and read some more. i need the exercise, need to stop setting down, and definitely need to read some more! :cool:

CONGRATULATIONS Baking Nurse!!! :D :up: :up: :up::p

Way to go!!!

I am hoping to follow in your shoes. I took my test this morning and the computer shut off at 75. I am freaking out today! I guess we all doubt ourselves until we know for sure. I feel it could go either way?????

I am happy for you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I took NCLEX on Wed. morning and found out today I passed. I had 75 questions and I did study right up until I went to bed. That made me feel better. But you do come out of there wondering if you passed or failed. It seemed to me it could go either way--I am glad it is done and over. I start a day position on the neurosurgery pre & post op unit July 6th. Now I'm off for a grand trip to Hawaii.

I tested on Wednesday, paid for the results this morning to find out I passed. I just went and got the mail and the hard copy is sitting in my mailbox. I can't believe it, I'm totally official. FYI-I did study until 2200 the night before, I felt I needed to. I'm not sure if studying hard is the answer. Nursing tests are weird.
