Hello Everyone!!! I am taking the NCLEX for the first time in 2 days!! I am SO OVERWHELMED with so many different feelings! Nervous, anxious, scared to say the least!! I took the Kaplan review course, did all the question trainers and the Qbank questions ...got scores ranging from 50s-80s which scares the heck out of me! I've heard some people who took Kaplan say Kaplan questions are harder than the NCLEX, I hope this is true! I have been trying to stay positive! I PRAY that I pass! Wish me Luck & keep me in your prayers!! xoxo

It's normal to be a bit overwhelmed and nervous before NCLEX. I was required by my program to complete Kaplan and throughout the question trainers and qbank, I like you made scores ranging from 40-80 and was worried out of my mind. Took NCLEX after having to be convinced for days that I was ready and not to reschedule and passed the first time. Just remain confident in what you know. You will do GREAT!

I know exactly what you are feeling. I took my nclex today and received the good pop up. I did nscbn and did ranged from 40's to 70's. You got this and will pass!!! I'm praying for you.

Totally understand how you are feeling. I am feeling overwhelmed too, taking nclex-rn tomorrow though it's my 2nd time but worse than the first time for me. I did NSBCN too with same range as you. Just finished Qbank which mades me frustrated after knowing that I was wrong. All I can do is to pray for myself and whoever that is taking NCLEX-RN too!
Thanks you'll it really means a lot to hear encouragement!! I just need to keep believing in myself b/c as the times passes I keep getting more anxious & freaked out & thinking I should change my date as well like I didn't study enough information and it's just overwhelming me I am going to keep praying & keep thinking positively b/c at this point what else is there to do? Thanks again for the positive words they mean so much! @Shannalim Stay positive I know it's easier said than done but try not to think about the first time keep the negative thoughts away and just keep telling yourself you got this b/c that's what I have been doing! Good luck!! I will be praying for you as well!
Thank you so much! We can do it!
