Studying for NCLEX PN and OMG ....

You will do fine. Did your school participate with anything with the ATI???? I found that to really help me when studying. Also, another thing I did use was the CD that came with the NCLEX book. If you know your low areas, just go back and study a little on each of your low areas. What you learned in school will come back to you. My weakest area was pharmacology, and I reviewed over what I could such as looking at common meds. and knowing sie effects and what maybe you have to watch for as far as labs when on that medication. I struggled with test anxiety too, but I passed. I wrote on my dry erase board that they give you that I need to deep breathe and relax and I will do just fine. So, I would look at that when I needed a reminder or was getting stressed out over a question. You will do fine. Don't try to cram everything in......just go over your weak areas the best you can. if you school participated in the ATIs, it would be good to pull up your tests you took on there and study from the lowest areas. I found that to be more helpful for me. Good luck! Can't wait to hear that you passed. :) Keep confidence in yourself! Think positive too!

Hi again, I read your other posts and seen that you took the ATI. Take your lowest areas from your last ATI test you took or from the last few and remediate from those lowest areas on there and you will do fine. That is exactly what I did and I passed! I took some pratice questions from the CD from the NCLEX book and it showed my lowest areas as well and what I should look over, which I did a little, but for me I found that remediating from the 3 lowest areas on the ATI test I took in my last class where you shows you your percentage of passing the boards helped me the most. Sorry, I wish I would have read your other posts from the beginning. Good luck and with a 99% chance of passing the NCLEX from the ATI test is awesome and you should not have any problems. Also, it is good that you are taking the NCLEX soon out of school.
