Hi everyone! Well Dooms day is tomorrow... the dreaded NCLEX! I'm really nervous because I am unsure if I have prepared myself enough. I've been doing the Mosby's CD-rom with the review questions for the last month or so. I haven't been rigorously studying, I've been averaging around 7-10 quizes a day, if not more on the cd-rom. I've looked up common lab values for things like Ca, K, BUN, H&H, Na, WBC.. etc. I feel that my program has really prepared me well though.. they do have a very high pass rate on their boards. I've also talked to some nurses that have said that no matter how much they studied, they still didn't feel prepared. Is it bad that I feel that I either know these things or I don't?
The only thing I'm really nervous about is the drugs... How can I know what a drug does, or what a side effect would be if I've never come across it? I have a decent drug knowledge behind me... but I don't think it's enough. I know no one can know everything.
Ahhhh I just want to get it over with!!!!!!!!!!! Please keep me and all other fellow NCLEX takers in your prayers!!!
