Words of encouragement for first NCLEX attempt

Published

Hello everyone!

I am taking my NCLEX RN exam on Wednesday and needless to say I am freaking out. I am starting to feel the stress of it all and starting to feel as if I am burned out on studying and am getting dumber. I just graduated in Dec 2016. I got great scores on the HESI CAT and Exit exam and did the Hurst Review and have been doing lots of practice questions with Kaplan and Saunders. I guess I am just starting to get discouraged because those Kaplan and Hurst Q reviews are very difficult and I am not getting the 84/125 that they recommend.

Any kind words would be great! I have a job waiting so no pressure or anything! :nailbiting:

Thanks!

Hi! I have very similar backgrounds as you! I graduated in Dec 2016 and did Live Hurst Review. My stats were 67/125, 83/125, and 76/125. I only did 3 Q assessments because I was scared I might fail and wanted to save half of them lol Anyhow, I just took my NCLEX on 1/13 and I found out today that I passed! :) Don't worry too much about the stats. I recommend just keep practicing. I was so burnt out and my brain was pretty much refusing to study and take in more information at one point like a couple days before my exam. So, I took time off and took a break from studying for hours and got back to studying. Do what works for you of course, but I wouldn't recommend over-studying. That certainly didn't help me. Best wishes!
