I am experiencing some mild anxiety right now. I was originally scheduled to take the nclex on 6/21 but just moved it up to 6/15! I am off for the next three days (M,T,W) and feel like Thursday will be the freshest time for my brain! If I did take it the 21st as originally planned, I would work a 12 this Thurs and Friday and have class all day Mon and Tuesday with Nclex on Wednesday. I really didn't feel like it would matter to wait since their would not be any additional time to study with work and class. Please tell me I am not out of my mind!
I know that I can do it, got a 99.9% on both mid-hesi and exit-hesi, am getting at least 60% on all Kaplan materials, and mostly feel like my life is on hold and nclex is all I can think about! I need to get on with my life and face this overbuilt up in my mind test!
Any words of advice/encouragement/thoughts of what to study in the next three days would be great! Thanks so much,
you are going to be a great nurse, your compassion and ability to care for others is so apparent! i will be at the finish line cheering for you!

honestly i knew you would! i haven't felt more excited or happy, i have been on pins and needles waiting to read the official on it!!! congratulations!!!!! : :icon_hug: :yelclap::w00t:
I moved my exam day up by one week- now I'm taking it tomorrow morning! I was starting to have some serious anxiety! And, I am not prone to anxiety- so it was kinda freakin me out!
Moving my date up has actually calmed me down- mostly because I know that I need to focus on the task at hand... calmly doing the best I can on my exam. Here's hoping that my results are similar to yours...
Reading this thread helped me prepare for the unexpected, to be ready to "not know", and not feel so alone in this experience... thanks

I live in WF, MSU Grad May '06. We will be moving to DFW next month...
It's over... I was SO relieved when the screen shut off at 75, but the feeling only lasted about 30 seconds... and the drive home was torture because I started remembering things, but not really remembering enough details about any one question to be sure of anything (if that makes any sense).
I not sure of anything right now, this is not the best feeling... I will keep ya posted and thanks for the well wishes... NH
