Took the NCLEX-RN today

RN_Pink · Jan 15, 2014

Congrats! I test tomorrow! I am so nervous and trying to figure out things to look at last minute!

A few of my classmates have already tested and all got the good pop up and it has been accurate for my class so far!

Any last minute suggestions for me?

Since the questions are different for everyone, it's hard to say exactly what would be helpful. I would say to read the question, read all the answer choices, and then take the time to really think about what response you want to give. After you've made your selection, re-read and make sure that you didn't miss anything. Remember that the better you do, the shorter your test will be!

I got out in 75 questions, but I took over 2 hours to do it. But hey, if taking the extra time was what made the difference, then it was totally worth it. Good luck!

Also, general test-taking skills include getting a good night sleep and eating a good breakfast in the morning. I, for one, had a miserable time sleeping last night. So much on my mind with the impending test coming up. Go to bed early tonight so that even if you're tossing and turning, you still have a good chance of logging a decent amount of sleep time.

Congrats! I am still waiting for my Quick Results. I want to see the word "pass"! I know it doesn't get much more official than getting a license # but still...

Check your state BON's website. Mine was issued a literal 24 hours after I finished with my test.
