Nclex next friday

Published

I am so nervous about taking the nclex a week from tomorrow... I had to take the Hesi or Evolve test 8 times :( sad I know. But long story short I finally passed. I took kaplan and got a better understanding of the questions and what not. That was on June 1st. I finally got the money to register for nclex and now I'm worried if I'm ready or not. I studied pretty hard all threw June however this month I've slacked a little. It seems like the more stressed I am the less motivated I get to study and let me tell ya I am stressed over this test. Now I have a week left and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to study the week before the test and how do I really know I'm ready. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Also anyone who has recently taken it what would u suggest to focus on this last week?

TIA

@ Ekuyk First of all, RELAX... Mild anxiety would do you good, but too much would really ruin your concentration and ability to answer the questions right.. :) You've studied hard, you know you have, and you have a week to simply brush up on concepts that you are weak on most.. My last week before the exam is next week.. I plan to study on Pharm again, because that's my weakest subject.. and just go over the Labs and do some more SATA questions just to ready myself in meeting them on the exam...

And for me, most of all, I pray to GOD.. :)

Believe me, your going to be better off with being relaxed and confident going into the testing center... Try to watch a feel-good movie, exercise a little to release some of the stress... and if your the type of person who doesn't cram well, don't try getting in information on the day before the exam, you'll be fine...

Have FAITH my friend.. :D Good luck and God Bless!

OMG....if your situation isn't a mirror of mine, I don't know what is. I too took HESI a total of 8 times and finally passed (that's all that matter, right?). That was a difficult time for me, but at the end of the day I still received my degree!!! YAY!!! I too am questioning and getting nervous about my scheduled NCLEX coming up. Mine is scheduled for August 12th, so I still have a few more weeks, but the nervousness is not going away. I'm studying pretty hard to what point where I know when enough is enough. I too took the Kaplan course in early june and been studying ever since. I just finished all the Qbank questions and just finished QT 5 while still going over the course content review also. I TOO have been slacking off by giving myself too long of a "break" but I think it is a well deserved break. I make it my priority to study SOMETHING everyday. Whether it's a few questions or going over material, I have to do it.

DON'T GET DISCOURAGED!!! You have to realize that we did the HESI how many times, and still passed!!! God didn't give up on us cause he saw that WE weren't giving up. If you didn't want to do nursing you would have dropped out after taking the HESI the 5th time and wasn't getting any results, right? So now is not the time to give up now! YOU CAN DO THIS! Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you can do this! Your situation sounds just like mine, and if you are anything like me, you will not give up. Get those negative thoughts out of your mine too. Speak it... "I will pass the Nclex...." and it will happen. Most importantly, PRAY!

Look forward to hearing from you hun!!!

P R A Y. It's the most important preparation. You've done your part. Now pray to God and truly believe in what He can do. Lift it up to Him and acknowledge that He knows what is best. Ask for it with all your heart and believe that He is in control of everything. God bless!:up:

Thanks for all the replies!! Unfortunalty I started feeling sick yesterday evening and woke up more sick today and have been getting worse and now have spots on the back of my throats so I rescheduled... I feel horrible for resched but I've had this twice already this yr and what I've learned is its going to get worse than it is now and I want to feel my absolute best for taking the nclex. I have been taking all of your guys advice and I will keep applying it until I test again on the 9th. Thanks again and believe me I pray ALL the time, I think its the thing thats got me this far :)

I am soooo glad I have someone that understands my situation!! It was so hard to go through failing so many times but I did not give up and I think the thing that helped the most was Kaplan and I got a couple books that helped me understand the questions better... I was going about them all wrong for so many test. It was nothing like the test in nursing school haha

Thanks so much for your kind words... as I posted above I have resched for aug 9th due to being sick so I will just keep on practicing til then :) I can't wait to hear how you did GL!!

Ok. I'm just looking at this reply after asking you when you rescheduled for. But yes, our situations are extremely similar. I hope you get well. I would have rescheduled too!!! So, far studying is going very well. To my conincidence, my scores are going up as I take each QT test! Yay!! Kaplan said that if you score a 60 or better on QT 4, 5, 6, 7, you are doing well. So its keeping me very encouraged. Also, so far everybody in my class has passed the NCLEX the first time, so that's also keeping me encouraged. How's evverything going with you now?
