ok secretname... first off, take a deep breath. remember- no matter what happens, you will be a great nurse one day... it's just a matter of when.

try to get plenty of sleep the night before... and treat yourself to an awesome breakfast. arrive at least a half hour early. practice cleansing breaths during the test if you start to feel yourself getting nervous. (it sounds corny i know, but it really helped me.) read each question s l o w l y. and THEN read it AGAIN. (repeat as many times as necessary!) TAKE YOUR TIME!!!! remember maslow's, ABCs, patient safety first... all the good stuff. take your breaks if you need them. if you get to 75 and it doesn't shut off, don't panic. i had 106 questions and still passed.

honestly for me, the hardest thing about it came after when i realized taht i had missed what seemed like TONS of questions. i was convinced that i had failed. then came the wait... but just have faith in your self and remember that your amazing knowledge and personality got you through nursing school. you CAN DO THIS.... and you WILL do it. wishing you the best! :yeah:
