I took my PN Boards Friday. I know that everyone says not to study the day before but my little girl had strep throat the entire week before boards & was in really bad shape due to some oral lesions that came along w/ it. I couldn't do anything & I considered rescheduling my exam. So the day before I crammed labs & did more questions from Uworld. I went to sleep early & woke up early to make breakfast & headed out to Pearson view an hour & a half early. I got there about 45 mins early & decided just to go on up because my nerves and anxiety were out of control. As soon as I went in I was fingerprinted & checked in & I was able to start early. I had to stop on my 35th question to do some deep breathing and to pray because I felt like I didn't know anything. I was focusing so much on my questions that I hadn't realized I was on number 79. I started paying attention after this & my computer shut down at 85. I thought I failed for sure ! I tried the PVT & it was accurate for me, my License was up on LARA the following morning. I used ATI because my school required that we get the "green light" before being allowed to test, Uworld & listened to Mark Klimek audio. I didn't really feel that ATI helped me much, but I did pick up on some content that I was unfamiliar with. Uworlds layout is identical to NCLEX & the qbank really helps you to prepare. Mark K is amazing & helped me w/ tons of test taking strategies and ways to remember labs, disease process and meds.
