I am actually not the oldest student nurse in the world, I'm a real life registered nurse!!
The test that will complete this journey is scheduled to be taken on Thursday. This weekend I pulled out the review book just to brush up on things I haven't seen in a while. The list of stuff I don't know is a mile long, and it is unreasonable that I'll learn them in the next three days. I did a practice test and instead of the usual 70-75% right, I scored a 60. I'm going to be in deep shit. Bummer.

I'm supposed to live in Texas, but due to Husbands' job, I find myself in the Hoosier state. I've just graduated from nursing school and am now a registered nurse on an oncology unit. Though I was once the vainest person I knew, since leaving my sales job, I'm motivated if I take a shower. According to my husband, I'm one more cat or dog away from a divorce. I pick the strays up off the street. I volunteer as a child advocate. My husband is the straightest person I know. I nicknamed him "Dudly Do-right".

NCLEX advice.
You are right the list of things you dont know is a mile long and if you had to know everything on the NCLEX to pass it, then you wouldnt.
But that is not how the NCLEX works. It works much like nursing. YOu will be faced with situations you have never even heard of before, and you will reason and "critically think" your way through them. Nursing is a profession of adapting through thinking. The NCLEX is the same way. Nursing school teaches us basics and how to think.
Think your way through the test. Dont freak because you dont know something. Take the small nugget of knowledge you have about something and make an answer by thinking it through.
The NCLEX is a scary test but not because it is incredibly hard. It is scary because it is a culmination.
You can think, I know you can... now just use that to get your license!!!
You WILL DO FANTASTIC!
Sending you happy brain waves and love!
It will be okay. You got through nursing school, you can get through this. Go into this confidently. You have us rooting for you! (((((HUGS)))))
you are going to do really well! :)
