Thanks Steph! I thought xanax is sedative! so you took it right before you exam? I guess taking half of it isn't so bad. Good luck and enjoy being an RN, so happy for you!

Congratulations to both of you! Steph07, may i ask what antianxiety did you take? or are you just joking:-). I am taking my nclex soon and I know I always have a bad test anxiety. Thanks and good luck with your new career!

Congratulations!!! so happy for you!
