Taking NCLEX-RN on the 16th and I'm feeling pretty iffy

Published

All my friends from school have all passed with 75 questions so far but I have this waning sense of confidence about Thursday. I did well all throughout school and I got a 70 on the Kaplan Q Trainer and went through the LaCharity book but I'm getting a little disheartened hearing stuff we have never seen before gets asked on the test. I do really feel like I could prepare myself much more at this point besides memorizing the infection control mnemonics and some other basic things. I'll give it my best question by question if I'm unfamiliar with the topics they ask me about I'm going out on my shield with this one the NCLEX will not take me without a fight. =) Good luck to everyone else taking it this month as well.

I'm getting really nervous about my test date too (the 16th also!). I feel like I should be more prepared than I am. But I'm a firm believer that if we made it through nursing school we can make it through this! Good luck.

I take it Monday and feel the same way. But it is what it is, right? I don't think anyone ever feels 'ready' for this exam, just like I don't think anyone feels like they passed after the exam either. It's one big psychological mess. Ugh.

Good luck! I am sure we'll all do well :)

I also test on the 16th. I think we are going to be fine. Well we will be PASSING.

Word of advice from one who as been there and done that....breathe!!! The NCLEX-RN is so random there is no way to know everything that will be asked on the test. Your best defense is to know how to answer the questions. As a general rule, you can easily narrow your options down to 2, from there apply your critical thinking skills.

The day before the test, do NOT study!! Allow yourself some relaxation time.

Day of the test, eat a good meal before taking the test, pray and take that test!!!

Good luck!!

I take mine tomorrow for the LPN in Concord, NH. I am an RN student, but there is a great opening at my hospital and they said take it and pass and it is yours! I am soooo nervous. I have studied so hard for the RN and everyone says the LPN is waaaay different!

And good luck to all!
