nclex monday! 7/8

Published

Specializes in NICU, neonates, newborns.

i had my nclex scheduled for june 25th until i had a meltdown and rescheduled for july 8. i am glad i rescheduled because i didn't feel ready yet, and i was absolutely PETRIFIED to take it. two weeks later, i don't think i know any more than i did but have been working with kaplan's decision tree/answering strategies. i'm still petrified for monday but i am ready to get it over with. i can't wait anymore, i wish it was monday so i could just do it and stop thinking about it. i know a few people who i graduated with who have passed, but unfortunately found out one of my peers failed her nclex.

so i have the rest of today and tomorrow to study and i just don't know what to do with myself... i keep doing questions but i'm frustrated with ATI (waste of money).. their rationales are useless! if i pick a wrong answer, it simply says something like, "that choice is the incorrect answer." GEE thanks, i'm so glad you clarified that for me, ATI. kaplan and saunders have much better rationale in their books and cds however.

anyone else taking it this week?? if i fail, i'm going to take a review class with kaplan.. a friend of mine took it and passed last week, she said it was worth the money.

I take it monday as well. I too wish Monday was here so I could just get it over with. I'm gonna probably study until late tonight and then tomorrow is my friends baby shower so I intend to try and relax and enjoy it. I never liked ATI, pretty much for the same reason you said. Never gave good enough rationales. Kaplan is what I have been using and just a little bit of saunders. Good luck!! I know there are a few more people on here taking it next week so we are all in the same boat!

Do your best to trust yourself, relax as much as possible tomorrow, and go in Monday knowing you're prepared. Good luck!

Ehhh, at times I really feel ready to take it and at others I feel like I want to reschedule it...LOL. My scores ranged from 58-73 on the qtrainers. I did the readiness like 2 months ago and got a 65% on it. I feel like I'm more ready now than 3 weeks ago....I think the most nerve wrecking thing is not knowing exactly how the test is. I know kaplan is similar but still, not the same.

So just now I finished the kaplan redness test. I scored 67.78%. I feel happy for this score, but still I feel nervous because the q 7 was 56 I was little tired and distracted when I took the q7. Do think I will pass? My exam is tomorrow morning
