Welcome to NCLEX August 2009 Group!!!

One of my classmates just passed (at 75) - she said the questions on the NCLEX are basically one brief sentence and like a statement and not really a question and we need to build/derive from it. Then she said the questions resemble Kaplan - but Kaplan is very wordy - so all you guys that took the NCLEX, please give the rest of us pending victims an input - what are those questions like? I'm freaking out, doing about 400 questions a day - I have 9 days till my NCLEX. :redbeathe

I can't sleep, I wake up three to four times a night and have dreams that I'm suffocating. I banished my husband to the other bedroom and alienated all my friends. I'm a wreck.

I don't know if I passed or not (according to the pearson vue trick,I did, but taking that with a grain of salt). Mstefano, I really feel that the style of the questions was similar to ATI(Meds Publishing), Saunders, and NCLEX 3500. None of these, in my opinion, are much different than the questions on my nursing school tests. Any questions I missed, I missed because I didn't know the answer- not because the questions on the nclex were formatted significantly differently than the thousands of practice questions I took. I just can't seem to remember everything (maybe I killed off too many brain cells in the 80's) no matter what I do. Please, for your sanity, try to relax and trust that you have done your best- that's all any of us can do. Good Luck, Mark

mstefano i know the stress! i paniced a week before my exam and never got myself under control and went into the exam and let my nerves get to me. the final few days brush up on things you still get confused and remind yourself you are ready and will pass! relax the day before the exam--your brain needs to rest! then go into the exam confident and remain in control and youll pass! if 400 questions is working for you that's great! but also make sure you are realllly reading and understanding the rationales because that's the most important! id say have a glass of wine tonight, watch a movie with your hubby and relax. youll do great but you can't let your anxiety get the best of you!
