Your Surreal NCLEX Moment.....

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

On January 23, 2004, if someone told me that 3 years later I would be preparing to sit for an exam that would grant me a license to practice as a registered nurse, I would have laughed in their face.

Well, here I am 3 years later and less than 24 hours away from NCLEX-RN...

Working full time, nursing school full time and a two year old, I can honestly say that these past 2 1/2 years have been a blur. I know everyone says that they're nervous the night before taking the exam, but I can't explain how I feel... it just doesn't seem real. Anyone else have a surreal moment before, during, or after NCLEX?

No practice questions tonight, well... maybe just this one:

The physician prescribes "60 min American Idol hs" to a client the night before a life altering exam. The nurse determines that teaching has been effective if the client states:

A. I will ask my husband 50 times whether he thinks I will pass

B. A a bottle of wine and a pack of cigs hs, will complement the script

C. I'll contact the physcian if I develop diarrhea

D. Chocolate chip cookies and a glass of warm milk are appropriate to take with this script.

awesome! I just found out today that I passed my LPN boards. Yeah! I can't stop smilimg. Good luck to everyone.

I am taking my boards Feb 26. How was it.

Well, it's been years since I took my exam!! But, I will share with you that we had to go for two days...took,it seems most of each day. My surreal monents were two. One, was watching all the birds flying through the rafters of the building. We were in a sports arena. The birds were a little distracting and nobody could do anything about them. Two, the lady sitting next to me taking the exam started to go into labor...that's right LABOR and she stayed just as long as she could...she didn't come back for the second day and we all found out that they wouldn't let her retake the exam...she had to wait until it would be offered again...about 6 months later. I'm so glad the whole process is far from over....it's been over 20 years and I still remember the stress of it. But it is so worth it!!! Good luck y'all
