NCLEX-RN on Tuesday!

Published

Hi all. I am starting to stress out about this. I have spent every day studying since May 25. I have reviewed content and I do about 150-200 questions a day. I mainly use Saunders, since my school made us buy it. I also used the HESI exit exam study guide. Our school made us score an 850 to graduate, and I got a 963 and felt really good about graduating and going into the NCLEX after that. I recently discovered the NCLEX 3500, and my scores are not exactly what I thought they would be (running in the 70s!). Now I am starting to second guess myself. Anyone have a similar experience? Any advice? I have to pass this on the first try in order to keep my job!

Sounds like you have reviewed a lot. Believe in yourself. I read some post previously who only used saunders but still managed to pass. Alsoif you have time read the AN study guide I don't have the link to it (just search it) I heard it is really helpful. Goodluck to you :)

Good luck! My exam is tomorrow as well. I read Kaplan and Saunders. I also read a little of Lacharity and Lippincott. I did a lot of practice questions from ******* as well. Try to relax today and don't do anymore studying. Gets a good nights rest and eat something light and high in protein before the exam. They say eggs, nuts and bananas are good to keep you energized and focused.

Thanks for the encouragement! I plan on only studying a few hours today, and taking the rest of the day to relax! I looked up my schools NCLEX pass rate for some extra encouragement, and just found out for the first quarter of 2012 we were at 96%! Makes me feel a whole lot more optimistic!

Good luck to all of us taking it tomorrow! I've done the HURST review and just the ATI comprehensives, not the review.

I'm planning on doing a quick scan on the material that I need cemented, and then taking the day off to relax and pamper myself a bit. Maybe I'll clear off the dining table of all the NCLEX stuff. :)

I look forward to checking in and seeing how our Tuesday group went :) We can do it!!!
