Hi everyone, I graduated on May 12th and I am taking my NCLEX June 12th. I just got my ATT yesterday and I signed up yesterday! I am using the Kaplan review book, Saunders Comprehensive Book, the Saunders Q&A Review book, Exam Cram Review and Exam Cram Practice Questions. I am veryyyyy nervous because I got hired as a new grad in an intensive care unit and I start my job July 2nd. I HAVE to pass my boards or I don't have a job... I called the hospital and talked to the lady who hired me and asked her what would happen if I failed and she said basically we might work with you but I can't answer that questions right now. So... I am stressing myself out more knowing I have to pass on the first try... I would have to wait 45 days to take it again, and by that time, it would be too late. I know I am setting myself up for failure by thinking about my job, and I am trying to do everything I can to stay confident and positive, but I am super worried. I heard that the questions are "like nothing I would have ever seen," but how is this possible? Don't all the NCLEX-RN review books based off of the test? Also, I am worried because I have been reading many responses about select all that apply questions... I am terrible at these and I am so worried I am going to fail.
HELP I NEED SOME ADVICE!!!! Am I doing the right thing? Studying the right way?
Oh and I ALSO have to have surgery May 30th and I don't have an option... It is necessary for me to have the surgery... I need HELP!
