Totally Freaky out!

relax and take slow, deep breaths.

that's it. in through your nose, out through your mouth.

if you've prepared yourself, and passed nursing school, this is just one more step before you're on your way to your career in nursing! :)

anxiety is normal, and even expected. just remember, this test is at an ENTRY level RN. the test doesn't expect you to be experienced or proficient.

i'm sure you'll be fine. take it easy on yourself.

Good luck! :)

I am not going to tell you not to worry, I had 87 questions-who ever heard of that? If you were good at common sense questions and priorities you should be ok. The prep courses and books only bring your entire nursing experience and learning into the forefront making you review generalized information. I went to school with students who made A grades who did not pass, and people who were C students did. Worrying will do nothing. During this next week, review questions, eat, sleep and drink plenty of fluids. Most of all, if you'v graduated from a nursing program, you are almost there! Have faith in yourself. Good Luck,

Maisy;)
