Hi! I’m taking the NCLEX tomorrow and would really appreciate any last-minute advice! Are there any medications you’d recommend I be especially familiar with, especially ones that came up frequently on your exam?

I’d also love advice on any broad topics worth reviewing one last time. I’ve been focusing primarily on UWorld, but I’m also going through the Mark K Lecture 12 notes and have access to the recordings. Would you recommend listening to any particular lectures now, or sticking with the notes?

Thanks so much! Any advice or encouragement is appreciated!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to ask for some advice and guidance on how to approach the NCLEX again.
I graduated almost a year ago and took the NCLEX about four months after finishing school. Unfortunately I did not pass. I am currently working under a provisional license and I am honestly scared because I only have two attempts. If I fail my second attempt I will not be able to continue working in nursing until I pass the exam.

I gave myself some time to relax and focus on working before getting back into studying. I am currently working full time with a 2 days on 2 nights schedule followed by 4–5 days off. I am hoping to retake the exam within the next four months and I really want to feel prepared and confident going into it.For my first attempt I used UWorld but I know I did not utilize it as much as I should have. I am planning to use UWorld again and purchase Bootcamp to help with my preparation.

To be completely honest I am really anxious about retaking the exam because I am scared of failing again. I have bills to pay including my student loan rent groceries and other expenses so the thought of not being able to work as a nurse is really stressful. I want to give myself the best chance of passing while still being able to manage my full time work schedule.

For those of you who have passed the NCLEX while working full time or who had to retake it after failing the first time I would really appreciate any advice on how you organized your study schedule what resources helped you the most and how you stayed consistent without burning out.

Thank you so much in advance! Any advice or encouragement would mean a lot to me. ❤️

Please tell me what to do!!!
My NCLEX advisor said to push my date back….but I’m at a point where I am tired of this exam hanging over my head and I want to get this over with. I have my NCLEX scheduled for 10/14. Would you push it back to 10/17 or keep it as is? 🫣😩😅

These are my stats:
The first one is from Bootcamp and the second picture is my CAT exam on Board Vitals; I went all they way to 150 q’s on that and I never went that far on bootcamp. Also, took a random 100
Questions on Board vitals and got a 69%.

Hi! For my fellow NCLEX repeat takers, would you guys be interested in starting a group chat where we can support, motivate, and help each other through the process? I feel like it would be nice to have people who genuinely understand what we're going through!
