Scared now. Here's why...

I'm assuming you are taking the NCLEX-RN?

The NCLEX-RN was just revised LAST April, and they are revising the NCLEX-PN THIS April. They generally revise the exam every 3 years. If you do not feel ready, then go ahead and reschedule! Your test will not be any harder because they are not revising it. Hope this helps and good luck!

Nooo, actually i'm taking the NCLEX-PN so i'm a little worried.

Here is the new 2011 NCLEX-PN test plan: https://www.ncsbn.org/2011_PN_Test_Plan_FAQ.pdf

Here is the 2011 NCLEX-PN detailed test plan for candidates: https://www.ncsbn.org/2011_PN_DetailedTestPlan_Candidate.pdf

compared to the 2008 NCLEX-PN detailed test plan for candidates: https://www.ncsbn.org/2008_PN_Test_Plan_Web.pdf

Looks like there will be more emphasis on coordinated care, safety & infection control and pharmacological therapies with the new plan compared to the old 2008 plan. Maybe that can help you focus.

In my opinion, you never really "feel" ready to take the NCLEX. I just did tons of practice questions...fellow RNs that I work with said once you start seeing the same stuff over and over again, it means you're ready.

Best of luck to you!

Well I've done some thinking and at this point, i'm going to take a shot at it. It's not like I haven't opened any book. I've done two. For some, they may think I need more info... but I can't go through 5 different thick books like some people....that will just get me extremely confused I know it will. There are 100's of books out there that try to help prepare you. And like you said, I will never really "feel" ready. Whether I take it before April, or wait a year from now....my brain can't store that much info. I am focusing on these two and see where it leads me!! The nclex is so unpredictable, you could just be lucky and have exactly what you studied... or you could be unlucky and have nothing of what you studied. I'm praying to the Lord above. Thank u for posting the new NCLEX-PN test plan :)

Best of luck to you!

Testing April 13th, yes unfortunately the new version that launches April 1. I'm doing cram exam, lacharity and some Saunders disk....Can you keep us posted on how you do, seems like we have the same study plan I too hope it's enough! I graduated in Nov. 2006, I have tested twice and wish I would have kept tring over and over again instead of waiting almost 5 years to try again : (

Wish you the best of luck !!! I'm praying for us both

ciprea... yes I will let you know how it goes. I'm nervous but i just need to get this over with. Right now I am going over questions on this site called rnpedia.com that a person posted on here. (Kudos to that person.) I WISH i had more time to complete this because this seems like a very good site with questions that are similar to the nclex. But I want to get this exam over with before the test plan changes. BLAH.

I've also heard good things about exam cram and lacharity, so hopefully it helps!

Isn't this all so stressful?? It really is. . . this exam determines everything. I wish you the best of luck also. Keep praying & trust in the Lord with all your heart! He has a plan for us!!!
