Just got done with nclex..rn...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

K so i graduated on may first week..n then took a good weeks vacation so i could gear up for the bad boy nclex!! N then i started reading seriously from end of may..n took the exam today..

The million dollar question...how was it? Well i felt that it was more of anxiety that makes it difficult..i needed a break after first 20 questions..yeah..n its OK to take a break cos it helped me..do NOT push yourself cos besides your knowledge, your performance depends on you staying CALM..

Let me break down my test experience..stopped studying a day before the test..i went out shopping and watched movies...and did everything i could to take my mind off the exam..got a good night sleep and then got to the test centre early..just so the traffic might get bad or whatever who knows...then yeah finger printing..palm printing and all that.. I kept saying one thing to myself over and over and over . GOD IS WITH ME ..I AM GONNA BE FINE....the first question..n i am thinking...hmmmm ok what now?? What is this? Oh wait..i need to calm down...then went on slow and steadily reading word by word!!! Then i took a break like i said after 20 qs and then sat back down again..thinking..ok i am gonna do this till 75 then take another break..when i got to 75 i think computer asked me if i wanted to take a break..i hit no i dont know why..but yeah when i got to the 76 it cutt me off n the screen went blue..did the survey..came out shaking like a leaf...drove home..( cried all the way) got home..took a deep breath n did tge pearson vue trick and got a GOOD POP UP!!! Crossing my fingers and praying to the official results...

Will let you all know about the official result..till then praying...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm taking it tomorrow and I'm trying to calm myself down right now (unsuccessfully). I studied consistently for a month, did all the Kaplan Qbank and question trainers, and I feel like I can't really study that much more. Not to mention that all the anxiety makes it pretty impossible for me to retain any more info. So I'm officially not studying anymore, just taking deep breaths until tomorrow. I wish I had a morning appointment so I wouldn't be freaking out again, but I go at 2pm.

I know logically I should pass (honors student, did well on Kaplan QTs), but I swear I've never been this nervous in my life!

Well i know exactly how you feel..i was a nervous wreck!!! Its a great idea to take a break today..i did kaplan q trainers ( did miserable) like 50s..was so discouraged ..but having given the test..it didnt matter how poor i did on the q trainers..what mattered is what i learnt from my mistakes..just stay calm..( easier said an done right) but believe me breathe in breathe out..believe in yourself and pray ( if religious).. Did my breathing exercise while giving the test..hehe hey what ever helps to keep u calm..you dont have to be a rocket scientist to know the right answer..keep calm n think think think..do not rush..take your time..get good rest and relax today.. Good luck and give youe best!!!

I just took the nclex at noon. I got 75 but I do not think i did good!! I did not get the infamous 20-30 SATA! I got like 7-10 tops! I got a lot of put things in order and priority questions that were very hard, I was just guessing through it.

Wow, I wouldn't be able to wait like that, I'd need to know ASAP. The anxiety is killing me already.

Dooooo it! I did and got the good pop up right after my exam. But I'm still skeptical...
