NCLEX Tomorrow... any last minute advice?

familyofnurses · Oct 8, 2012

I take the NCLEX tomorrow as well. Today I'm focusing on lab values and drugs. I plan to eat oatmeal or cheerios in the morning because I know it wont upset my stomach- I will skip the coffee because it will likely upset my stomach and cause me to need to use the restroom (diuretic propensities). Best of luck to you.

Goodluck for tomorrow to both of you. Looking at last min lab values had really helped me. So, do that and try and get good night sleep cause you really don't know for how long you will be taking the exam.

Wish you tons of luck and prayers!

Read each question carefully. From personal experience, I tend to read questions too quickly and miss key words, thereby, choosing incorrect response. When you start feeling anxious: take a deep breath, count to 10, say a prayer, take a break or whatever works to reduce anxiety. DO NOT panic if computer continue past 75th question....this means you're still in the game.

Good luck!!!

Hopefully you scheduled your test for the time of day your brain is at its best. I scheduled my test at 8 am and drove there telling myself that today is the day I'm going to make it official! You have to be confident! I took my test in August of this year. So you can try the pearsonvue trick to see if you passed as well when you get home! Good luck!
