Taking NCLEX Jan 19th!

Published

Hi Everyone - ok, I know there are many NCLEX test questions out there so I apologize for repeating this if I did.

I am scheduled to take the NCLEX on Jan 19th - I just registered last Friday. I have been doing 75 questions per day and plan to up it to 100 per day at least. I am also doing a 4 day review next week.

I am starting to wonder if I should put it off a week to study even more. I've heard to take it sooner the better, but I am started to get anxious that I might need more time. I have been averaging 80% on the questions I have been doing. I have been studying flash cards and I have the Saunders NCLEX book.

Do I really need to do 10,000 questions to prepare? :cry:

I did the ATI practice exam at school (without any studying) and got a 79% with a 97% probability of passing on the 1st attempt.

My husband, who knows me so well, said not to change the date.

I start my new grad program Feb 8th and want to make sure I pass before I start my job.

Any advice? Thanks!!!!! :bowingpur

Hi everyone~ I took my exam this morning. It stopped at 75 questions. I don't feel very good about it. I felt like I didn't know anything of what they were asking me. Meds I had never even heard of and couldn't figure out what class they were so I had to guess. It was tough. Now....wait! Ugh!

Trying2Pass - I am kind of scared to do that, partly b/c I don't want to know the results (I'm scared) and partly b/c I don't know how accurate it is. I'm a scaredy-cat.

JMoney - all my friends who have taken this test feel like they didn't do well right after! Then 48 hours later they get their results and they all passed. :)

My D-day is coming up....I take my test Friday morning! I have now completed Kaplan, Exam Cram, and went through the Hurst review book... I am sooo exhausted!

Im still having trouble with remembering developmental stages in Pediatrics so i'm going back to my textbook to review...but other then that, i'm feeling confident and ready to get this over with already! Can't wait to hear your results, I know you did great!

Also wanted to add that I attempted to go through the Lippincott Q&A pediatric questions and thought it was interesting that they put that nursing diagnosis should be psycholsocial with children? For instance, although the child is experiencing decreased cardiac output the priority nursing diagnosis has to do with the parents not having knowledge regarding the disease process...so this is psychosocial...

I did not learn this in school nor Kaplan...Kaplan focuses on ABC's and looking at psychosocial last....did anyone else come across this? I think i'm going to stick with physiological needs as my priority. :)

Still waiting for the results. It is so difficult to be positive. But I am trying.

Still waiting for results. It is so hard to not be depressed right now.

Are you sure you don't want to check the PVT so you can relax?:D
