What to do before the NCLEX

Published

Specializes in just finished nclex looking for jobs.

I just took my PN Nclex last week and the night before my test I was told by several people to just go do something fun and relaxing. They kept telling me not to even bother opening up my book to study. I listened to those people and I'am glad that I did. The night before my test I went shopping and relaxed in the hot tub at the hotel. I definitely felt like I didn't pass the test my test shut off at 85 questions and I thought man I had to do horrible on it, but thanks to God I passed. I prayed that I would pass and my prayers were answered. So my advice is to have a relaxing evening the day before the test and to do the best you can do.

I did not open anything the night before the NCLEX exam either. I just and went to bed early although I kept waking up afraid that I had overslept. I drove 1-1/2 hours to the test site with hours to spare because I did not want to risk losing my $200. I ate at one of my favorite restaurants that are not in my city. That helped with some of the anxiety. As I sat in the car and waited for my time to go in, I wrote down the names and lab values that I thought I should now. I compared them to my book and they were correct. I went into the test site nervous but with some confidence. My "unofficial" results say that I passed so I guess that is a good tip. :yeah:
