Terrified of NCLEX-pn

Published

Ok, so I'm kinda new to this site and reading your guys' posts has been helpful. im a recent graduate who is about to take my NCLEX exam on Oct. 7th. I cannot express how sick to my stomach i am. I am so nervous its disgusting... I'm losing sleep and just feel so much anxiety and i just keep studying and studying. My friend and I are taking the test together and we keep trying to give eachother pep talks but I just keep returning to this same nauseated, anxious state. I can only imagine how I'll feel after the test.:sniff::sniff:

After the trst you will feel like a failure but will be so happy when you get that passing grade! GOOD LUCK.

I bet 99% of people feel this way before the boards! Just think of all the things that could be more terrifying than the NCLEX.... and you'll feel rather fortunate :-)

It's a good motivator to review anyway.

Do some relaxation exercises and positive reinforcement (I know I can pass this!) and just dive in! Don't procrastinate... it drives me nuts when someone works so hard to finish school then waits forever to take the boards because of nerves.

:specs:No worries!!!! We are going to do fine! We have passed nursing school with flying colors and have been thru an intense NCLEX review! We've got what it takes!!! Now, remember the strategies and breath.

BTW, don't forget to use this pep-talk on me on Tuesday when I'm a nervous mess! :no:

we all feel the same way but you will do ok, I remember feeling the same way feeling sick to my stomach. But its even worst when you take it you will feel like you failed'

But trust me you will be ok just relax and take it easy before the test.

good luck and I will pray for you.
