Hello. I graduated from nursing school in March 2011. I took the NCLEX PN in June 2011. I did not pass the first time. I really didn't study enough maybe about 2 weeks for about an hour a day. I don't think I covered as many topics that I should have studied. I was going through a lot in my life and I was really not in the right mind frame to take such a serious and important test. Now I have finally got the courage to retake the test again. I am planning to take the test in December before the year is out. I have found a lot of question to answer that I have downloaded on my computer. I also have the saunders review book, my foundations of nursing book, nclex review incredibly easy (rn edition) as well as Saunders review flash cards. I am also going to sign up for the ncsbn PN review for 5 weeks which I will take 5 weeks prior to the test. I am really nervous and I know that I should not approach this with the nervous spirit that I have. Are there any ways that I could calm down and not be so anxious. I really don't want to have to retake the test again and I know that I want to do this for my family and I. Any suggestions would be great"
