Hi Suzanne! I'm taking my NCLEX July 1 and am starting to get really, really nervous about it! I've been doing practice questions since January-and have done 3700 since I graduated in June. I've been doing 150/night and put my Saunders and other CD roms (lippincott, mosby) into Study mode so I can read over the rationales right away. I do a mix of questions from all topics when I do my questions. I did pretty good on my exit HESI (1047) and got all As and just one B+ in nursing school. So why am I still SOOOOOOOO SCARED? Is there anything else I should be doing to prepare? Do you have any tips on how to stay calm now and especially while I'm taking NCLEX? I think I know the material and how to answer questions, but I'm just so incredibly nervous that I'll see something on the exam that I won't know. Please help me with my nerves! Thanks!
