Nerves are getting me.

I feel your pain, trust me. I took mine yesterday and have been a ball of nerves since last week. I couldn't sleep at all the night before and was up a total of 22 hours yesterday just stressing over it. I passed with 75 and was done in less than an hour. I thought I totally bombed it, but apparently that's the case with pretty much everyone. I never took a review course such as Kaplan or Hurst. I just did question after question..over and over in a Saunder's book. It sounds to me like you're ready! I would definitely say to know your lab values...how to correct the problem if the numbers are too low/high...know infection control, abc's, and priority such as what pt. you would see first in a given scenario. Good luck!! I'm sure you'll do fine! You sound more prepared than I was!

Keep doing what you are doing. Practice everyday. I just graduated from pn program and they told us if you get higher than a 60% on the practice test you will most likely passed the nclex. I as while was nervous about the nclex . I took my test June 9. Tried the "trick" and keep getting the pop-up screen. Hope that is a good sign that I passed. But relax. The practice tests are suppose to get you in the mode of nclex style questions. I say that you are doing well. Keep me updated.

im taking mine on the 18th! mixed emotions right now!

I spend about half of the day thinking I'm going to do poorly and the other half I think "well, I studied a boatload. We will see!" Pharm has always been my weakest point and I'm trying to focus on that until the test date rolls around. Kinda like a needle in a haystack though...

Were the questions on "infection control," common ones such as ( MERSA, VRE,TB etc) ? or should I brush up on the least common communicable diseases. :) thanks.

Araujojr, you might want to post your question as a separate thread since so it can get answered. I haven't taken the test yet. But I bet the response you'll get is: anything is fair game.

Araujojr, I took the nclex-pn and there were infection control questions. Brush yourself up on what would a nurse do before entering a room, handwashing, etc. Good luck!
