NCLEX next Friday 1/27/12! SCARED!

Published

Hey everyone!! Im taking my NCLEX on Friday 1/27/12, and I just want to get it over with! I feel like it has to be basic nursing, because all the questions are based on entry-level nursing, so it cant be that bad! But I have been using soo many resources to study and do questions. I was wondering if anyone has done ATI and the comp predictor, and how well it correlated with your NCLEX. I got a 98% on the comp predictor, of passing the NCLEX the first time. I have been completely OBSESSED with this exam.. its truly taking over my life. I cant focus on anything else, and all I do is do practice questions and review material occasionally! I even work this weekend (Friday and Saturday), and all I wanna do is study! :bowingpur lol Someone help!!

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone for all of your encouraging words!!!!!!!! I went to work yesterday and I felt like it may have helped my anxiety a little (just to focus on something else)! I still came home and did practice questions, and today im reviewing some material and doing a ton of Kaplan questions. Congratulations to all who have already passed and an EARLY CONGRATS to those who are scheduled and taking it soon! I have faith in all of us!! Keep me posted with everyone's results!! Its almost over!!!! :yeah:

It sounds like you are well prepared for the NCLEX. I did both ATI and Hurst, but I mainly focused my time studying the Hurst Review book. It wasn't until the week before the exam that I started doing practice questions. The day before the NCLEX, I visited the test center, hoping it would help relieve some anxiety the morning of my exam. I, too, had bouts of tears and even a couple panic attacks the week leading up to my Big Day. My advice to you is: 1) Breathe, 2) Focus, 3) Take your time / Don't worry if other people finish quicker than you - this is Not a Race!

I took the NCLEX on a Saturday, completed in 4 hours with 75 questions, and in less than a week later I cried with tears of JOY when I found my name and license number on the BRN website.

Like others have mentioned, do not study the day before the exam and get a good night's sleep! While you are taking the exam, Focus and ask yourself these three questions: 1) Do they want the Correct answer? 2) Do they want the Wrong answer? e.g. "Which answer indicates the patient needs further teaching?" and 3) Which patient can DIE Right Now?

Good luck to you, RN2Bverysoon! And please keep us posted on your NCLEX results. XOXO

Thank you for your post. Very encouraging and great reinforcement.
