hi there! i'm taking nclex the 29th and i'm a nervous wreck. :imbar i graduated from nursing school with a 3.8 average, but i'm only getting 60's and 70's on the practice tests i've been doing. should i be freaking out? i just wish you needed a percentage right to pass nclex - then i'd have some inkling of how i was doing and have something to work toward. help!

Study disaster plans (admitting pts and d/c) this is where I went wrong...

Just dont freak out . I know its easy for me to say, but I was calm and cool while taking the test. I feel this benefited me greatly in regards to thinking clearly. YOu know more than u think u do.. The worst part is waiting for the results, that is when i started freaking out. YOu will be second guessing yourself, calling your friends to exchange ideas on how they would answer a certain question etc. Just study and let it go. You worked for it a long time and you'll get it

As far as getting 60's and 70's, not unusual
