Last Minute Advice

I take my NCLEX this Thursday (the 27th). I'm to the point where my nerves are shot and I'm a nervous wreck.

I've studied using Lippincott's Q&A, PrepU 10,000 (made sure to get to levels 6 & 7 on all of the client needs sections), and last minute I got the three week subscription to NCSBN.

I've had a ton happen to me during my study period. My mom suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, I started my dream job and I'm working full time, and I've had to get everything sorted out since my mom died.

My original plan was to take the day off before my NCLEX, but there's a required class I have to take for work that day :(

I will be beyond devastated if I fail. Everything has bombarded me and it would be a devastating blow. I need this over so that I can grieve, pick up the pieces, and move on with my life. Postponing it again is not an option (I've postponed it once already).

Please pray for me. Pray that I pass. Pray for peace. And if you have any words of encouragement or last minute advice I would love to hear them.

    You can reschedule the test cant you? As long as its 24 hours before the test and its still 3 days before the test. Im sorry to hear about your MOM I been there, but you should go into the test ready relaxed and prepared. Good luck honey!!

    Nurse2Bee2013, I can't even imagine the immense pressure you have dealt with over your current study period. Since you are not able to postpone the test, try and relax the best you can. This of course is easier said than done. You have graduated nursing school and you have put in the time to study. Trust your instincts and know that you have everything you need for this test---your foundation of nursing knowledge and the ability to critically think through NCLEX-style questions. Best of luck!!! and have faith in yourself…YOU GOT THIS :)

    know your content.....labs, ekg, meds which are difficult but the categories to say the least....relax and read the questions carefully. You will be fine.....it's so normal to feel like you didn't know anything when you leave out....I honestly can say that content is power for nclex rn examination and the pn examination as well.
