Stay positive and have time to breathe. NCLEX exam as scary as it can be, it is just a test. It's all about confidence and trust you have in yourself.

Tell yourself that you can do it! Spend time reviewing infection control and prioritization/delegation content. Know your meds at least the major classes and focus on pt teaching. Study (if you have time) some rare diseases (Kawasaki,..). I think that there is a thread on them.

Good luck and best wishes! You can do it. It is JUST a test...

Hey, I felt the same way too when my exam day came which was on Wensday; its okay to feel a little anxious cause I know I sure did. Soon as I got to the computer I could feel my heart pumping fast, but then I said to myself take a deep breath and said to my self I CAN DO THIS; I mean I sacraficed two months of studying and I wanted to show something for it, you know a lot when you actually sit at the computer and think about what the question is really trying to ask you, for the questions where I didn't know what they were talking about I followed Kaplan rule where it said to look at the answers for clues, that actually works; the decision tree worked for me too. The day before the test I made sure I relaxed, the only thing I did was make sure I knew my lab values and had 8 good hours of sleep well probably five since I couldn't sleep that good; Anyway you'll do great just keep a Postive attitude; You know what you know now all you have to do is put all that knowlege to work that day.

It sounds like you are prepared for the NCLEX. It is okay to be a little bit nervous but not a lot. You will do well!
