NCLEX anxiety really bad. I want to cry.

Published

I am taking the NCLEX RN on Monday. I am really nervous and can't stop crying. I have studied for the past month and slept on my couch. I have been neglecting my family because of all this studying. If I don't pass on Monday, I think I might just give up trying. I have studied NCSBN, Kaplan 2014-2015 book, Yellow book, LaCharity, Hurst, and Exam Cram. What can I do to help with this anxiety?

The movie is over and the tears are coming down. I guess I will start the music therapy and get a massage in the morning. Thank you everyone for the advice.

I will be taking it a 4th time on 11/06. With the Lord's help it will be the test I pass and become a RN. I am pouring everything I have into passing it this time. It is going to happen. This time it's my time! :)

Thanks everyone for the very helpful tips. I woke up with puffy eyes and another string of grey hair in my head. Sharpeimom, I turned on Handel's Water Music and fell asleep to the music. It was quite soothing. Today, I studied again from 11 am until 10:15pm. Now, I am about to put on another movie to help with anxiety and crying.

I took my test today. I don't know what my results are. One thing I know is that I made it passed 75 questions. I cried before, during, and after the exam. I kept saying, "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me". My first question was a SATA. I had 5 cardiac strips, 3 med calculations, three pictures, delegations, and random hard ones. I need to do something to take my mind off of this test because I am about to run out of tears.
