Hey everyone, I am freaking out right now. I test in two days and I do not feel prepared. I have been averaging in the 50s in Uworld and I am not the best of test takers.I tend to get very nervous during big exams. My Uworld scores have been in the 50's (a few 40s a few 60s) and I just finished all 2000 questions and just did another 75 question exam and got a 72. I also did the two assessment predictors and got a very high chance of passing on the first one and a borderline on the second one. However, I feel like there is too much to know for the exam and that it is frankly impossible to know everything. I also do not feel like my college prepared me enough for this exam. I keep reading different forums and some say that there exam was focused on content and others say that they passed because of test taking strategies. I am curious on what your experience with the nclex-rn has been. Any advice on how to succeed during this exam? What is the exam like? Is it similar to Uworld and in what ways? And if there was one thing that you wish you knew before you took the NCLEX-RN, what was it? Thank you so much.

Thank you everyone. I am so thankful for your honest responses. Ill look into everything you all have mentioned.

Thank you so much for your response and good luck to you and nursing school. Nursing school is very tough but I am positive that you can handle it. Congratulations!

Hey everyone, I am graduating with my bachelors degree in nursing in a year and I figured that I should be getting as much experience as possible so I submitted my application for volunteering. The lady that I spoke to said that she would like me in CCU which sounds cool to me but I was curious, will I be getting good experience there? Also, Im very much into labor and delivery, mother/baby, NICU (units like that) so I wasnt sure if I should be getting my experience in those units instead? Can someone please tell me which unit that you would recommend for a nursing student thats graduating soon. Thanks so much in advance. I appreciate it.

Yeah... Uhm, the patient said that she would rather have a woman...
