NCLEX Takers Support Thread

i am taking my nclex-lvn next week, i will be praying for the others who are taking the tests for lvn or rn, we have worked very hard to get here, and know we need to hold on for a little bit more faith, God did not bring us this far to watch us fail. God loves each one us and wants the very best for us all!!

Hi everyone!!!. Well im scheduled to take my boards on tuesday aug 26. I am freakin out!!!!!!! I am still trying to study..........and all of a sudden most of the questions I am practicing, im getting wrong. What in the heck is happening to me??? Do you guys think its the anxiety im beginning to feel or why in the world is by brain not functioning anymore?? I need your guys help. I did the kaplan review and I also did questions from Saunders, davis, Mosby, and Lipponcott. I am sooooo scared my little brain cells are not going to work the day of my test. Im also freakin out because my friends are telling me that they got alot of check all that apply and pharm questions.......which I really suck at both. Please help!!!!!! I am so overwhelmed and i just want some feedback from those of you that have taken your test. Let me know how you felt and what you did to overcome the anxiety? Also, did you feel that your studying prepared you for the test? Hope to hear from you guys.

Thanks a bunch:confused:

Ena1978, we are taking the test on the same day! i am feeling the same thing.

Yesterday i was soo anxiety filled that after i took a practice test and received a low score, i lashed out:argue:at my boyfriend and then just started to cry:cry: cuz i couldn't think anymore. He closed my laptop:Crash: , told me to put on my flip flops and we just went walking outside with fresh air. it helped but i still feel all UGHHHH inside. getting lower scores is freaking me out. i still need to review meds so i know i cant be done studying. i just want this to be over with ya know?? Best of Luck to both of us haha:yeah:

Best luck to you xsocalx!!!! I felt the same way yesterday. I only did about 130 questions yesterday and i was so frustrated that my friend had the bright idea to get me out of the house for dinner and a movie. It really helped, but here I am again.............FREAKED OUT!!!!!!!

Well let me know how you do on your exam. Best wishes to the both of us. :cheers:

Hi! First of all remember to breathe!!!! IT REALLY DOES HELP! I took my NCLEX PN 1.5 weeks ago and am still waiting for my results. We don't have the option of quick results in CA so of course I am waiting for snail mail and it is a killer!!! I used Lippincott, Davis, and a few other programs. Basically they all have the same type of questions. Just know how to do math, make sure you know your lab values and just remember to breathe. There is really know way to know exactly what to study so I pretty much relied on what I learned from school and did about 1500 questions a week. I think I learned more on doing the questions after school was out then what I learned in school the whole year. I had a good mix of everything but I won't lie, I had ALOT of SATA and they really sucked!! I think the hardest part of the NCELX was the way they word the answers. The questions seemed pretty simple!! Good luck to you!! You will do fine......

good luck and prayers to you who have taken THAT test and those who(like me)are waiting to hear those words....PASS or FAIL!

i took mine yesterday(pn)....and i know i bombed it.....i went in pretty confident too....i got good grades in school....but this test just thru me.....i got to number 85 and blank the screen went.....i thought i was doomed around queston 20......i just couldnt believe the stuff.....i got 2 ped me calculations......i KNOW i got them wrong.....our instructors said we wouldnt have any ped calcs.....so much for that.....i did brush up on it quickly,but not too much......i did questions everyday....some during the day and then again before bed.....i read ALL the rationales......looked over my textbook and notes....i dont know what else i could of done.....

i know i got atleast 2 right.....one was a highblood presure med....and the other a schizzo med....those are the ONLY 2 though...how bad it that!!

i have been on a couple of prayer list for a couple of weeks now.......

85....really bad or really good.....i am feeling bad....

The day before my test, I couldn't concentrate enough to study much! I did alot of questions 2 days before but the day before was a waste of my time because I was so full of anticipation that I was either not doing well on the questions because I couldn't keep my mind from wandering so I decided, If I don't know it by now than I don't know it all and I watched TV and movies all day. The morning of my exam, I arrived a little early so I went over my lab values one last time. I did have meds, lab values, ALOT of prioritizing patients and SATA. Just remember your ABC's and to breathe. When I first started the exam, I put in the earplugs and all I could hear was my heart beating. I read the first questions and said OMG, took 2 deep breaths, re-read the question and answers and did fine. My test shut off at 85 questions and took me 1 hour 45 minutes. I felt like crying when it was over just because it was such a relief. I will tell you tho, that you will walk out of there not knowing how you did. Everyone that I know that has taken it, feels the same way and have no clue how they did. Good luck to you!! You will do fine........

Taking mine tomorrow! AHHHHH! I'm taking the NCLEX-PN while I finish up my last 2 semester of my RN classes. I'm so nervous!

taking mine in 6 days!!! Stress and nerves are killing me !!
