Like many, I am freaking out about taking the NCLEX. I'm having trouble sleeping, and I find myself waking up in the middle of the night thinking about NCLEX questions I had read earlier. In the day time when I try to study, I have trouble focusing - probably due to lack of sleep and extreme ANXIETY. I'm going to try this tapping method to reduce my anxiety and see if it'll help calm me down so that I can AT LEAST focus on studying. Let's hope it works!!
anxiety can make you forget everything that you studied and waste all your time during the exam. i was so nervous when i went to take my exam that all that went through my head was "i can't fail this".... and ended up failing it. but i will not give up. i will just study harder. and take a different approach.

I hope this simple technique can help all of you. I am so sorry that the NCLEX has become such a point of anxiety after working so hard to get through the trials of nursing school.
Please try this technique. It is taught on youtube.com by a nurse named Aila. EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique.
She is the best instructor ever. It only takes 10 minutes to learn and free of charge.
