1 week till I take the NCLEX and I am freaking out!!!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I am really just looking for some words of encouragement!!! I have come a looooong way!!! However, feeling nervous about the test because (1) my paperwork for the background check ended up being submitted a month later than my class; it was sitting on the secretary's desk for 4 weeks because she got the flu (2) it took me 3 tries to finish; the first time I had to drop out because I got a divorce, the second time I got rear ended on the freeway on my way to the first day of school and ended up spending months in physical therapy, (3) I am afraid that I have not studied enough; I worked 2 jobs and went to school; I quit 1 job when I finished just so I could have more time to study but has not worked out that way. My 3 "girls" from school have all taken and passed their tests. Just hoping that I am not worrying myself to the point that I will fail. Labs and Pharm have been my weakest points but I don't feel like I can retain anymore. Please if you believe in God, pray for me!! If you don't say something encouraging anyway!!!! Thanks!!!

Hi 2btmanrn,

The hurst live review is about 350.00 dollars and includes a detailed outline, a cd and DVD, her online review is 300. I took the live review and thus far am impressed. I wish i would have taken this review first because it goes over content specific to the NCLEX. The kaplan is more a review of question. I like hurst so much I enrolled in their online review and I listen to it over and over to get the content in my head. I do not retain everything too well. I've never heard about Medspub. There is so much courses out there that you would have to see what works for you. For me I took Kaplan first and initially that did not work for me b/c i still needed content. So now i'm doing both but like i said had i known i would have done hurst and and other cds. Make sure the CDs you have are application and analysis b/c the NCLEX do not test on knowledge. Well I will be praying for you and I hope this was helpful.

Is HURST that great? I can't afford the Kaplan. I am reading saunders, doing the cds and the nclex3500 online.

I heard medspub was good also. Have you heard about this company.

Tell me more about HURST is it expensive?

I am doing Saunders CD and 3500 online. I have spent a lot of money on ATI, ERI, and Kaplan. I am also doing Suzanne's Plan. I only use the 3500 online for the alternate questions.

Open for feedback.

Hello, I will be taking my exam July 7th for the third time. I was wondering How were you studying for it. I am doing hurst review and kaplan. I've been getting in the 70's on q bank and love the content review for hurst. Just seeking pointers because I am ready to be a Nurse. Thanks

I am int he same boat as you. After taking it a few times, you learn more of what to expect. But enough is enough, I am ready to pass.

If you are doing Suzanne's plan (not first tip) then you shouldn't be using anything else. She has designed the plan to be used purely on it's own

Then you are not doing my plan. It was designed to be done 100% on its own, with nothing added into it, at least while you are doing it.

Best of luck on your exam.
