Welcome To The NCLEX September Support Group

CLUVRN, MSN, RN · Sep 14, 2009

I too am going against the NCLEX beast tomorrow! I've been studying like crazy since I graduated nursing school in early August and now it call comes down to my performance tomorrow! Everyone thinks that just because I graduated valedictorian of my class that I'll have no problem tomorrow. I always say that 75% of NCLEX is about knowledge and critical thinking skills, but 25% of the test is about having good test-taking skills. I hope I keep that in mind tomorrow! Good luck to us all!

Do not do questions today Jowhanna. You need your brain to give a rest.

Ok Susanne, ill try not to do the test questions. maybe ur right ill just preserve everything tom so i wouldnt be too exhausted. Thank u so much! I still have the mixed emotions right now, Aint sure if this is excitement or nervousness but all I know is that this is it and i should DO my best!

congrats aleena!!
i'm almost done with qt7, and it's really frustrating me!! some of these questions seem so bizarre.. i've never even heard of a "dry birth" before! and there's a question about cholesterol maintenance.. the client's total cholesterol level was 200, which kaplan said necessitated diet management. i thought total cholesterol level was 200 and under. apparently it's 199??? ugh, hoping the nclex doesn't choose to use "unexpected" values that are so close to the actual target.
ok venting done-- back to questions and my med chart.

thanks, relax, kaplan is much harder than nclex, you can do it:up:

DoDo, we will be so happy when you get back tomorrow and tell us that you passed!

CPLPN: I think if you studied hard it will pay off and you too will tomorrow be able to relax and sit back!!!

Jhowanna: You got this and you need your brain to rest. Just read over your lab values and some meds and then close the books. Do something relaxing tonight, dinner with your Bf or Hubby or someone you care about. Warm bubble bath so you can sleep good, and just enjoy your ride tomorrow!!! It will be so awesome when you come back and say...I am too...a RN!!!

SusanneCollins13 · Sep 15, 2009

I am so excited about September group. We are doing so great and Futurelove you will do fine. We did the hard work, now we just need to let our instincts kick in and go with our gut when answering those questions. No more studying tomorrow Futurelove. Your brain has to be fresh on your day.

To those who go tomorrow...I will cheer for all of you. I will be gone all day, so hopefully by the time I get home tomorrow we have only good news and that everyones trick had the pop up!!!

Greedy, it is hard to tell which ones to study, but you should know your antibiotics and your sartans for sure! I saw a lot of heart meds on my test, but that is not to say that this is what you will encounter. So maybe check over lidocaine etc as well.

I am crossing my fingers right now for those that are likely already testing at this moment and cant wait to hear back from you all when I return tonight!
