still trying to study here in missouri. I will test on Wed. and I'm really starting to feel anxious. Been working on questions and reading drugs/material. Just want it to be overwith and be able to say I'm actually and RN. Good luck to everyone studying over the weekend (mine will be a packed two days of stuyding!). Congrats to all of those who just found out they passed:yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

Here is one piece of advise:

They told me to read the tutoral and I am glad I did. I think that the time it took me to read my tutorial allowed me to gather my thoughts and calm my heart down. Also, before I walked into that center I decided that this is not a dreadful day for me, rather that this is the day for me to shine to have my platform and show them what I can do and how much I have learned. The person who greeted me in there told me that he knows already ( which he did not at the time) that I would pass, because he said he could feel the confidense. When I answered the questions I did not double guess myself. Do not change your answers. Sometimes my gut would sink, because I thought oh my not sure if that is the right answer and I felt like changing my answers, but I learned from past exerience that this is a big no no. Dont go against your instinct. You all can do this!!!

I totally agree. Even when I was still reviewing for the NCLEX by answering the practice tests (on Saunders and on NCLEX-RN 3500), I found that the first answer that I chose would most often be the correct one. But every time I double guessed myself and changed my first answer to another one, I'd get it wrong. So just follow your instinct!

Haha, the tutorial helped a lot to ease my anxiety because it cracked me up. :chuckle Like the "choose the fruits" one. LOL.

LOL yes I got that one too ROFL that was funny. That is so funny that you remark on that one, because I was like...are you kidding me? LOL?

That's GREAT!!! You are going to do awesome on Tuesdsay, I can feel it!! Did you do the other QTs?? I am working on them now.. finished with QT1-5, doing QT6 tomorrow and QT7 on Sunday. Is 60% recommended for all of the QTs or just 6 & 7? And, I feel ya on the 5.5 hr thing... those suckers are time consuming.

But no time like the present to be getting reassuring scores on things! Let's keep the momentum going through the end of our tests on Tuesday!

PS: if you're interested in reviewing pharmacology some more, these YouTube videos have been really helpful--

. This is part 3, which I'm watching now, but there are 9 in total. Each one is about 10mins or less, and it's covering basic drugs & their adverse effects. Plus it's so nice to just LISTEN instead of readreadread for a change. :typing
