To Those Who Have Already Taken The NCLEX

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

i struggle with big time anxiety. sitting here right now taking questions i am completely calm and collect. i can sit here right now look at everyone in the eye and say i am going to pass the nclex on thursday.

then i think about thursday, my heart starts jumping around, my stomach does flips, and i start to chew off my fingers..my mind goes blank and i get negative.

i need advice.

how can i control my anxiety during the test?

what did everyone do to get themselves focused when they felt like they wanted to jump out of their skin and cry?!

I was out of there in 48 minutes with 75 questions. Came home, got the good pop up. WHAT A RELIEF

Thanks for posting this!!! I re-rest on the 25th and thankfully it is an afternoon test time :yeah: I'm working on all the material review as best I can, but I also need to start working on the anxiety factor of this exam, which is already creeping up on me!

Congrats on the good pop-up, I look forward to sharing my success with the exam in a few weeks :)

Best of luck Winnie! I suggest when you get there and test, don't put on those silencing headohones right away because all you hear is your heart and that made me worse.. I wrote on the dry erase board "Rachel Stevens, RN BSN" and "I can do this" it helped when I felt my anxiety creeping up I looked at it and said I WILL PASS and kept going!
