Nervous about NCLEX... ADVISE PLEASE

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I'm a month away from graduating Nursing School in Texas and we took an ATI predictor the other day. I got a 50% chance of passing the NCLEX on my first time so it makes me nervous about my chances for passing the real test.

I tried to go through all the posts here on allnurses but so many anxious people and so many people that didn't pass the first time is very depressing and discouraging. I figured instead of spending hours looking through feeds that just overwhelm me I would post a discussion and others can respond.

My top questions: what did you do to study? (Hurst, Kaplan, NCSBN, ATI??)

Study books? Saunders (I've heard that's the best), Mosby, um... not too sure what else?

Any good question banks out there that I must have? I saw a link for NCLEX 3500 and read that NCLEX 4000 doesn't work on Macs?

If you have an amazing tips/ advise please that you have gathered and are willing to share. Let me know.

Thanks guys,

haha it feels very therapeutic just to leave this thread... even if no one will read it. :D

We did Hesi, that was a part of passing that class as well. I did tons of questions a day. I mean I always studied. I woke up at 8, cleaned my room fed youngest read to him. Studying by 11 (questions and review books) put my son to nap at 1 or 2, studied til 4 or 5, dinner. The evening was family time. I graduated 6/15 took my test 7/28 so not too bad. My friends who graduated in April only waited 3 weeks. I think summer just takes longer.
