im very anxious and scared to take the exam the second time in a couple of weeks. im also on a time conflict, because i have to pass before december or i get kicked out of the BSN program im in now. they allow u to take the BSN program without having ur RN for the fall semester. any suggestions? i am doing the green saunders book, also examcram book, also took kaplan (didnt help me much), and now have a tutor because i got scared and started studying so much.

Take a deep breath, and stay positive. A lot of people take the exam twice and make it.

I know one nurse, who I think is wonderful, and if she didn't tell you, you would never know she took the nclex twice.

Don't get anxious so much, because that anxiety could get to you again. Just keep saying to yourself. I did this (studying), I am going to pass, I am going to be an RN.

I have not taken my first exam (and hopefully my last) yet, and I am very nervous and anxious, that is why I am not rushing into the exam. and I am preparing like a maniac. I look for advice from other people, and I have heard many times over. "It's not that bad!"...

so stay positive. write your name,RN on a piece of paper and post it all over your house.

you can do it!!!

Take a deep breath, give yourself some 'me' time especially the day before. When studying make sure you understand the rationale to the questions you got wrong

Good luck
