I sit for the NCLEX tomorrow at 2 pm CST. Any last minute/day of exam tips or advice for me? Review material the day of or relax? I am starting to get a little nervous..

The day before the exam, turn off the computer. Take a walk, play with the dog. Treat yourself to something fun you've been denying yourself because you didn't want to "waste the time". Eat something yummy, watch some fave movies, whatever works to get your mind/body winding down.
This is high stress time, so remember you MUST make the effort to combat that effect. Take care of YOU!
It's already closing in on the end of the day but rules still apply: NO MORE QUESTIONS! Give your brain a break. At this point you are not going to learn something entirely new that will stick in your head; you aren't going to forget something crucial either. You know what you know.
And breathe, please :)
Good luck!

I took the NCLEX Friday and studied all the way up until 2pm. I went into the test a nervous wreck, felt sick the entire time, and left in tears.
I suggest not looking at anything the day of, just going in with a clear mind and take your time reading and thinking about the questions.
I passed, but it was a miserable experience and I wished I had listened and relaxed more!

Congrats!!! Were the NCLEX questions easier than the questions you would study? I am using Kaplan questions/Trainers and Hurst review videos for content. I heard the Kaplan questions were harder than NCLEX questions :)
Good Luck!! God Bless!!

Since it's at 2, go get a pedicure at 11. Don't do like me and sit outside the test center for an hour.
