Taking NCLEX Monday for the 2nd time

Published

So Monday morning I take NCLEX again for the 2nd time and I am scared to death. Last time I ended up with all of the questions and I think a lot of my failing was anxiety, but I don't know how to make it go away. I have felt ok up until today and now.....again.....I am freaking out. I don't know what to do. Any last minute prep suggestions for the test. I don't know what I am going to do if I don't pass.....I will loose my job as a grad nurse, my husband and I won't be able to pay the bills because he was hurt at work and our plans for moving will be shot down.......any suggestions?

Thanks in advance....:(

For last minute prep I would highly suggest The Random Facts Sticky. Also somewhere here is an infection control thread and an obscure diseases thread. Worth finding those.:D Good luck!

cnheckman, I got all the questions the first time and failed also. I think anxiety played a part as well as being tired of answering so many questions. The second time around, I made sure to use the random facts thread and pretty much focused on priority and infection control type questions since I saw that those were really prevalent on the test. Studying for meds was too hard because the medications they use are pretty unpredictable. I think you can do it.

I agree with the Randon threads sticky as well. I read those over and over again and along with Kaplan I passed the second time a couple of weeks ago. I will keep you in my thoughts...good luck!!
