Someone pleassse calm me down!

Published

Hi everyone, so i am one of the people who post with a huge heart for nursing(have been an LPN for awhile now) and i have had previously unsuccessful attempts (4) at taking the RN over a huge timeframe. I thought my attempts were over due to regulations of amount of times to take the test with a previous state and waiting a couple of years (a)because i had to work up the nerve again, (b) because of military family move and © did i mention i had to work up my nerve again :bugeyes:. So, God made a way and i found a state that would accept my application and i took the RN exam again on July 13. Here's the deal, i know that i have tried every way to wait for results by paying to find out early and waiting for the mail. I have fought the entire weekend to do or not do the PVT and to do or not pay to find out early. I need words of wisdom from anyone who can calm a person who 99.9% usually keeps herself together. I just want to have a long time dream come true and to contribute as a RN!

Thanks guys for listening:loveya:

Thanks everyone!!! I read the Kaplan NCLEX-RN strategies book( believe it or not I've had it since graduating school and this is the first time i read all the strategies). I also used the Kaplan online qbank questions only. In which i did at least 100-150 questions a day. I took a day off (sometimes two) to get a break. What i found that helped me the most was reading every rationale whether i got it right or wrong. If i didn't recognize or remembered a subject, I had my med/surg book and taber's handy. I also looked at LaCharity and Lippincott's Alternate-Format Questions book. All were helpful to me. Also, believe it or not i printed the study guide that's floating around and studied it a couple of days before testing because this is when i found it on the forum. It helped because it was less overwhelming to have a packet instead of 15 books:bugeyes: As far as the scores i didn't do above or too below the minimum for Kaplan but i didn't beat myself up for that. I just read allllllllllllllll those rationales and i learned more that way than i could of imagined. I hope this helps and oh by the way guys, I haven't told my family yet! I'm waiting for a surprise moment and the mail:p Feel free to get in touch with me and i will help motivate or give resources to anyone in need! God knows i feel i can help! Thanks guys
