Taking NCLEX-PN in the morning! (nervous)

Published

Please if you are reading this say a little prayer for me. It's now 9:20pm and my test is at 8am tomorrow morning! I was actually feeling ok up until about an hour ago, I think it has finally hit me that this is it. I am incredibly nervous at this point, but am going to try to maintain some level of confidence tomorrow. From reading everyone's messages, I know this is normal! :)

congratulations!

i can only hope i will do well tomorrow and be posting passing results by monday. the best to you in your nursing career. give yourself a pat on the back you deserve it!!! :yeah::yeah::yeah:

As far as the test, it definitely was not what I expected. The questions seemed to stay along the same lines the whole time. I did get what seemed to be mostly prioritization type questions. Also, psych questions came up quite a bit, as did meds (quite a few I didn't even recognize). I got maybe 2 or 3 SATA questions and absolutely no math questions. Also, no fill in the blank. I got one that was the type where you put steps in order though.

Overall, it was just a strange experience.....not quite what I expected. I should have my results hopefully tomorrow. I am feeling ok at times, but other times today I am having a lot of anxiety and almost crying at some points just thinking about whether I have passed or failed.

Oh also..someone asked me how I prepared. I did get one book which I believe just came out recently, its the Kaplan NCLEX-PN Strategy Book. 2010 Edition, sort of a purple-ish color. I really liked how they laid out all of the strategies, what to expect, and they have questions throughout and also a practice test of 145 questions. I would recommend this book! I also had a book of built in flash cards with practice questions.

I did not use the online question bank, as I didn't have the money at the time. I don't know if that would have made a difference!

Dont know which is worse the anxiety prior to testing or will the waiting for the results be worse. I'll be glad when it is all over. Say a prayer for me, please.

Just came back from the family doc with my youngest daughter (6 yrs), she has the flu. Pray for her too. :redbeathe

good for you, so glad to hear you passed! :bowingpur

how did you get your results so quickly? did you use the "quick results link"? all the best to you in your new career! :yeah:

i walked out of that testing center in shell shock. couldn't recall a single question and had a killer h/a. computer shut off at 85 i think. went home feeling defeated. then the more i relaxed i began to recall questions and the answer i responded with. went over a good deal of them with a client of mine who is a rn, msn and she seems to feel i faired well enough to pass. i can only hope so. can hardly wait to check pearsonvue.
