Scheduled NCLEX-RN for 1-9-13...REALLY FREAKING OUT...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I graduated in December from nursing school with decent grades (Only one grade below A- in the program) and passed the HESI on the first try. I scheduled my test for January 9. With the busy holidays and working full time, I have only begun to really study a few days ago. I block out about 4 hours in the day and cover a mix of kaplan style NCLEX strategy, nursing school content, and review questions. I dont know if I gave myself enough time to adequately prepare for this test. Some review books like Lippincott and Kaplan I do ok on the review tests, and others (Mosby) I am getting destroyed on.

To make the situation even more stressfull, I have a job lined up for when I have my license. I dont think they will hold it for me if I didnt pass.

I could really use some honest advice. Do I have enough time, given my study schedule as it is, to prepare for this test?

Believe in yourself...you have been studying this information your whole nursing school career. Work on lessening your anxiety and go over review questions and rationales in your NCLEX book(s). Just remember to read the questions thoroughly and make sure you know what they are asking. Also remember to prioritize the answers correctly (I think I'm saying that right- in other words all of the answers are probably correct but pick the one most important). Good luck and you will do great!

Thanks ;)

Just finished NCLEX with 85 questions. How soon can I do the PVT?
