I have my NCLEX this week and I am so nervous! I am just ready to be done with it. I feel like I have done all I can to prepare and any more information I try to put in my brain will be information overload. Just wanted to come to all nurses for some encouragement! :)

Around 90% of US educated nurses pass the first time! I hope that is encouraging! (hugs) I was in your shoes not long ago, I know the feeling.
Breathe, pray, and do your best. Then come on here with a huge "I passed!" Real soon!

Do some soul searching and ask yourself these questions.
1. Did I go to a school with a high NCLEX pass rate (>90%)?
2. Did I do very well in my nursing classes (especially Med/Surg)?
3. Did I do well on the NCLEX predictor exams?
4. Did I study my butt off and answer thousands of questions?
If you answered yes to all, then it is not a matter of pass/fail because passing is inevitable, but how many questions will it take to shut off.
I answered yes to all the above questions and took the test on Friday and found out today that I passed. I was worried the night before if I was going to fail. I felt foolish thinking the whole time that I was going to fail when it shut off at 76.
Thanks everybody! I can answer all of those questions positively :). I guess it's just the anxiousness of waiting to take the exam. I am looking forward to being able to post a positive "I passed" later this week! Power of positive thinking!
I passed the NCLEX! Got my quick results this morning!
