Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it!

Hi,

I'm taking it this Thursday, a bit nervous too but as it gets closer I'm feeling more excited & relieved cause I know it will be over soon! I also did Saunders for content & Kaplan for strategy. Stay confident, keep calm, & deep breath, we got this!

I agree! We got this!

I take mine this week also! WE GOT THIS!!! WE WILL BE IN THE RN CLUB BY NEXT WEEK!!!

Biggest word of advice.... you have to stay calm during your test and not let the over-anxiety get to you. The last thing you need during the test is to blank out.

For me, I was able to reduce my anxiety by a ten-fold by completely emptying my head with everything I memorized ....onto the little plastic writing board they give you.

As soon as I sat down and read the instructions, I took my time and wrote down all my insulin times, drew the "rule of 9" man, drew the cranial nerve face (had 1 question on that...thank god I reviews the CN face), wrote down any meds that I found hard to finally memorize, etc....

It really helped tremendously bc when it came to the point where I had to dig for information in my head, I wasn't burning myself out by trying to conjure up images and values. Try it and you'll feel 100% more confident!!

(Recently passed first try 75q in about an hour andhalf)

I did not know we were able to write lab values & things down like that in the board that they provide. That's excellent!

yup... my marker was a very thin sharpie... so i wrote very small to save space... last thing u want is to run out of space, exchange for new sheet, and have everything u wrote...GONE!... i believe if u ask for another sheet, they take ur old one and replace it with a new one.

Did you read all the chapters in saunders?how did you retain that information? I'm planning on doing 1-2 chapters a day. How long did you finish the whole book?

hit the free nclex and nursing flashcards you can find online, thats about all I did for the test,, along with a nclex software exam.
