Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

It will be my 3rd time to take the nclex rn exam and its killing me just thinkin about it...:no: i wanna be as relaxed and calm as possible but it seems like i can't focus on my review this past few days... months before, i used to answer 150-200 questions a day but now that i only have a few days left i know im supposed to answer more questions but i cnt seem to do it... im scared.. and im so nervous!:heartbeat... i really really wanna pass this test... and i can't wait to learn new things... and be an effective nurse :nurse:. This is what im ought to do so help me pls dear GOD. :angel:

GOODLUCK TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE TAKING THIS OCTOBER! GOD BLESS US!:up:

You will be in my prayers. What are you using to study?

You may need to take a break. I just took mine for the 2nd time and passed but my fear and my nerves were reaking havoc on me. I was so emotionally drained I know exactly what you are going thru. I know its easier said than done but you have to go in with a positive attitude. I told myself going into the testing center that Im going to be a nurse then end of today and it happened. I wouldnt necessarily say to do more questions this week than you have been doing. Your brain is on overload thats why you cant concentrate. Take a step back maybe even take the night off. It will do you know good to look at the questions if you can focus. Remember to you made it through nursing school for a reason you are no dummy!! So cheer up, chin up, be confident and positive. I will be praying for you and everyone else to pass!!

best of luck and just relax u can do it :up: and have faith on HIM. he will take right decision for u at right time i will pray for you

GOOOOOD LUCK JC!!!! I will be testing for the 3rd time this month tooo!! Ill be thinking of you~~ lead the way!! :lol2:

Im taking mine for the 3rd time too on Oct. 3. For some reason today, it doesn't feel right for me. I feel like i am not that ready even tho i have so much improvements since the last time i review for the test. So i moved my date to Oct. 26 instead. I had to touch more stuff like Infection Control...Meds and lab values to memorize. then practice more areas on were I am weak. then more practice test in the morning...I have to take a break and relax for now. It helps a lot not to get too much stress with the review. I feel like i am not focus and cant seem to answer and remember stuff. So there you go..I moved it again..hopefully this time I am ready and can really say to myself that i am ready to take it..Good luck guys. I just wanted to be careful this time..failing twice is not very easy to get over with..i dont want a third to happen...

Just relax. I know that is easier said than done but if you go in there nervous, your going to forget everything.

And by the way, I took kaplan and I followed the syllabus and passed. The syllabus says to only do 50 questions a day and take the last question trainer test (264 questions) two days before you take the test. Then the day before your suppose to just relax. You probably have information overload. I think if you just relax and do things like get a massage, go shopping, get your toes done or whatever makes you feel good. It's amazing how much you remember things without trying

hey guys... i love all the motivation on this website. I failed the NCLEX for a second time 2 weeks ago. I'm trying to think of a new game plan on what I can do differently & how to get motivated into studying/ preparing to take the NCLEX-RN for a third time. I haven't re-registered yet because I don't know what day to pick... I'm thinking maybe sometime the middle of November. From reading other's posts people of suggested exam cram, saunders, LaCharity & NCSBn question review... what are your thoughts & opinions? (i wanna go to the store in the next couple of days & get new review material, which should I pick?)
