Hi everyone! I am new here and super excited to get to know everyone! Despite what my username says, I am not actually an RN yet. I finished nursing school almost a month ago (Dec. 2015) and am set to take the NCLEX in 13 days on January 22. AND I AM FREAKING OUT!! Does anyone have any advice they can give in anticipation for the big test? My school had the Hurst Review and I am studying the workbook daily, as well as reviewing the online resources. I also have the Saunders Review book and am going over a few chapters everyday/doing the end-of-chapter review Q's. I am using PrepU for question practice as well as the Hurst Review Exams (so far my scores are 81/125, 86/125, and 75/125...I have 3 more to take). ANY advice is appreciated because I am very stressed and no matter how much I study, I feel discouraged like I don't know anything. Thank you for any help you can provide!!!

I did the Saunders book and the nclex rn mastery app and I don't think either helped much. I wish I had done a ton more priority questions and select all that apply. Some of my friends recommended books that were specifically about select all that apply and I wish I would've looked at those. I did pass in 75 questions, but I attribute that to going to a great nursing school and paying attention, not anything I did once I graduated.
