Hey you guys. I'm studying for the NCLEX-PN and have it tomorrow! I have to admit, although I did alright in nursing school...well, mostly B's and an A here and there..I feel like I don't know ANYTHING and because life has gotten so crazy, it's been 4.5 months since I have graduated and I barely started studying but 4 weeks ago..and even then, I study about 1.5 hours a day maybe. It's very overwhelming and I just feel like I keep going through questions..slowly getting more right..but I still feel like I'm only getting about 65-75% of them right..at the very most, with my Saunders NCLEX-PN program..it's the newest one, green book. EVERYONE that I know says they feel like studying hardly helped them and that they feel like they literally guessed the ENTIRE test through..that there were tons of select all questions, etc. I'm not lying~lol. My classmates all literally told me they were ready to cry coming out of the test center and that they were ALL positive that they failed. I STILL just don't understand how they determine you pass. I am also ridiculously nervous. I will be honest..the one thing I really didn't try too hard to study was meds, because there are literally just too many to memorize and I cannot do it all. I tried to just condition myself on how to answer the questions, look for keywords, strategies. It will be by the GRACE of God if I even pass tomorrow. I just never feel ready and have been pushing it back for so long.
So is it true...is there really no way you can possibly study for it? Everyone told me that all of the questions they used to practice weren't even on the test. I mean, I am in NY so I realize I can take it over again, but who wants to pay all that money? Plus, who wants to feel like a loser failing? I know I don't..but I am trying to accept it beforehand..and if I pass.. I will be that much happier.
