I posted here because of the attention this forum gets and because I've learned much from all of you. I take my NCLEX tomorrow (6/14) and am just looking for words of encouragement.
Not studying today (going to try to peel all the books off my desk and vacuum my floor.... oh wait, a rake would do better) and am feeling pretty good. Just a bunch of tangled nerves.....I'm so wired, I got a call from a friend (who happens to be a computer geek) who said they were trying to deal with a virus - I thought he was sick, until he started with technical computer jargon. I sat there for five minutes trying to figure out what a trojan opportunistic infection was... sheesh.
Take your time over each question and don't panic if you think you don't know the answer. Just re-read it slowly and make the most sensible choice. Good luck!
What a great thing to wake up this morning and read all these wonderful words of encouragement. Thank you so much! Today's the day and I feel nervous, but in a good way. I'll be sure to let you know how things turned out. Again, thanks for sharing your words. It really means a lot to me.
I have to say that sitting in front of that computer, I felt more alone than I ever felt in my life. Yikes! What a harrowing experience. Of course, I feel like I'm doomed (as did my fellow classmates who took it before me and passed) and now I wait until oh either tomorrow or until I get back from vacation to find the results. I'll be sure to let you know.
Still feeling like a deer caught in the headlights! Wow!

1. Don't forget to BREATHE!
2. Lay off the coffee a bit today.
3. PRAY! (if you do that sort of thing).
4. Do some positive self-talk, i.e. "I know this stuff. I am already a good nurse."
5. Did you forget to BREATHE already??
With NCLEX, can you skip a question and go back? I understand it's wise to not stay on something that stumps you but to go back to it.
Get some HUGS tonite!
Give yourself a little quiet time in the morning, k? So you aren't rushed?
I wish you LUCK but you won't need it cuz you GOT IT, girl! (p.s. did I mention breathing?)
