verushka70: Kowalski puts his hands to his head (Mike-Sweeney-dad)
I am just about LOSING MY MIND studying for this damn licensing exam. I just feel overwhelmed. There is so much that they threw at us in the last two years, and to be expected to recall 75 to 260 possible items from any point in the program is too daunting. To put this in perspective, the Brunner & Suddarth Medical-Surgical Nursing textbook I have is 2,234 pages (not including the index) and weighs 12 pounds (according to my scale). The NCLEX-RN exam questions are drawn from a pool of 2,000 questions. You can receive up to 260 or as few as 75. They can be on any content within those 2234 pages -- PLUS content from OTHER areas (like pediatric nursing, maternal-child nursing, psychiatric nursing, fundamental nursing skills). (And those textbooks were not short or light, either!)

OMFG I can't wait for this to be over. Fortunately 2 of my classmates text-messaged me earlier today that they both passed. (They took it last Thursday and last Friday.) So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to focus on the content areas listed in the long NCLEX-RN test information PDF (for students) and on the areas where I was weak in my exit exam. And continuing to lose my mind. And I keep telling myself: you scored in the 96th percentile on the HESI exit exam--you'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine...
