What did you/are you going to do the day before the NCLEX-RN?

[danegerous, BSN, RN]

Just wondering what you did (if you've already taken the test) or what you plan on doing (if you haven't) the day before the big day.

One thing ofr me is certain, there will be no studying the day before. I will review my lab cards and important info that I will be writing on my dry erase board, but other than that, not one ounce of studying. I think I will get a massage...that sounds nice.

Well, how about you?

A massage is an excellent idea. Perhaps a nice dinner that night. Practice your relaxation techniques.

A day before my exam, I took a walk and I meditate. Actually I didnt study 3 days before my exam. I listened to the christian music Shout to the Lord that I recorded from youtube and I listened that song on my way to the testing center...

I went swimming with my husband, took a long nap, checked into the hotel in the city my test was in, and went out to a nice dinner with my hubby. After dinner I went to the testing site so I would know where to go in the morning and I touched the door just like my teacher told me to do. I didn't open a book once and I am so glad I didn't. The morning of the exam I put on my comfy clothes, ate a healthy breakfast and took my test. Passed 1st try with 75 questions.

The night before I can't sleep, can't help myself...I think I only had 3hrs 'half-awake' sleep. My test was 8am, felt like exhausted... could be one factor added on my failure.

Yeah, a good tip, get a massage to promote sleep. Thanks for this.

I test on 1/19/10 and I plan on not studying starting on Sunday night (test is on Tuesday)....want to have a relaxing night with my family, and go to the movies....the least amount of stress possible...
