Taking the NCLEX tomorrow:/

Specializes in Behavioral Health Nurse.

I haven't even taken the NCLEX and I feel defeated! I graduated 6 months ago and the day is finally here. I pushed this day long enough and decided it was time. I first needed to work on my mental health before I could even tackle this. I put my mental health to the side while in nursing school and have struggled because of that. It wasn't a smart choice.

I started of with Saunders and almost had a mental breakdown. It was too much information for me. It was overwhelming and the questions were too easy.

I decided to tackle Kaplan! I took the in- person class and I enjoyed it! I do wish there was more content.

Scores:

diagnostic- 63%

Practice test- 67%

QT1- 61%

QT2- 52% (I was rushed)

QT3- I skipped:/

QT4- 79%

QT5- Skipped:/

QT6- 70%

QT7- 77%

Readiness- 80%

Didn't complete the question bank. I had an average of 60%.

I also used RN Mentor by ATI and have an average of 60% on the questions. I've also used some practice tests on the ATI site.

My last semester of my nursing program I got a 90% chance of passing the NCLEX on ATI.

I'm panicking. I feel like I didn't do enough:/

You've studied for 6 months?! I think you'll be alright as long as you really focus on the best answer. Also, when the screen prompts you to take a break, make sure you take it.

I didn't spend 6 whole months studying! I studied for about 2 months.

I spent 4 months getting the help I needed.

I wish it was six months of studying.
