I have almost made it to the end. As I sit here and study for the last time, I am thinking to myself, "Well this is it." I take my NCLEX bright and early Monday morning. I will try my best not to study at all Sunday and just let my brain relax. That brings me to Saturday night, my last night to cram everything in. I find myself drifting off and feeling exhausted from the endless nights of studying. I figure if I don't know it by now, then I probably wont figure it out in the next few hours!

As I close my study guide for the last time, it feels surreal and actually kind of scary too. I have taken the NCLEX once for my PN. I keep telling myself "Just do as good this time around too." I am not sure if having NCLEX experience prior has eased my anxiety, or has made it worse. I feel confident in myself, but for everyone who has been there it is still so nerving regardless of the hours put into studying.

So, here I go. I'm getting ready to plunge into the dreadful NCLEX hopefully one last and final time. Wish me luck! ;)

Well I had only 75 Q's and it only took me 45min to finish the test completely. It was so hard. I got a lot of managment Q's that I had absolutely no clue about! I was freaking out by this point. I had almost half SATA. My first 10 Q's were SATA...no fun. When I finished I drove back to my hotel and got the good pop up! Im still waiting on my "official" results though.
