Taking the NCLEX in 2 days... Whats a PVT?

Published

I am taking the NCLEX on Wednesday and I have to admit that I am freaking out!! I finished nursing school over a year ago and Im scared that alot of information has been forgotten since ive been out of school for so long. So I did a kaplan course which made me alot more comfortable because Ive heard nothing but GREAT things about it. My scores have ranged between 45%- 72% (which makes me very nervous because my scores all over the place!)... Anyways, Ive heard that you could figure out if you passed or not a few hours after your test by "checking your PVT" and i was wondering if anyone could explain that to me! And any other last minute nclex advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for the advise passredskins 1! Also good luck you!!! Just remember that you can do it, your ABC's and stick with your first choice. Don't second quess yourself because your first answer was more than likely correct you just are over thinking it and adding "what ifs" into the question. Read the question as it is and break it down like Kaplan taught you and go from there! You can do it! Best of luck to you. Let us know how it goes after your done:D

Thank you everyone!! I am so happy I found this website that lets me share my worries and concerns (no one understands the way you guys do) ;) ... To answer your question passredskins1- I finished the nursing program last May, but couldnt recieve my diploma until I finished a random required undergrad courses (aka statistics), and once I did finish that stats class the school couldnt give my diploma until the next graduation came around. And Im sure all of you guys know how long getting an ATT could be :/. That whole process took an entire year!! But im so happy its over now and Im finally able to sit for the boards.

Thank so much for the advice you guys, it really helps. Ive heard alot of people say not to worry about pharmacology (but most of the questions on kaplan I encounter which I dont know are pharmacology) :/ ... Should I really not study them?

Oh yeah... and GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! Study hard and dont let yourself be distracted by anything! I got through college by cramming the night before the test, but you cannot do that for the NCLEX! :p
