It sounds like you actually know your stuff. Review, use the NCLEX Review 4000 RN software to find weak areas and brush them up, but make sure to take a day or two before the test to just plain rest, relax and get your stress level as low as you can. Do not stay up the night before cramming. Going into the test tired and stressed will cost you points. Best of luck.

When I took State Boards, many question requested the "best" option of four technically correct options. When talking to instructors/patients/families, it is not always what you say, but how you say it. Interpersonal communication, especially when you are stressed is difficult, but also is critical in nursing. Find out from the instructors if this is actually the problem. The technical skill of communicating effectively is one every good nurse needs to master.
