The Next Generation NCLEX is out and it’s making even the most diligent nursing graduates nervous.   

But, you don’t need to worry, because today, I’m here to tell you everything you need to know about it to pass it with flying colors.

Nursing students everywhere are (pretty understandably) feeling overwhelmed by the Next Generation NCLEX, and thousands of them have already failed the exam.

So, if you’re also feeling overwhelmed by the changes that are taking place, I want to tell you that this is normal and that you have come to the right spot to learn everything about the NGN, from the new question types to the updated scoring system. 

After this episode, you'll know exactly what to expect when taking the Next Generation NCLEX.

Are you ready?

Hi, Joanne here (but you can call me Nurse Jojo)!

Welcome to the very first episode of our brand new podcast, NCLEX Ready.

My goal through this podcast is to help you achieve your dreams and become a nurse. And I’ll be doing so by sharing my best tips with you every week.

In this first episode, I share with you my own personal journey. 

I haven’t had the best of times trying to pass the NCLEX. In fact, I failed it twice before I was able to pass it.

You see, I was born with hearing loss in both ears, which means I had to learn in a more visual way. 

As a visual learner with a short attention span, lectures were a hundred percent not my thing. Still, I survived nursing school. I went through the NCLEX lecture and reviewed the thousands of pages of the NCLEX review book. I did it all. 

And yet, I still ended up failing twice. 

So, suffice to say, after the second time, I was pretty defeated.

But I wasn’t ready to give up on my dream of becoming a nurse just yet.

Instead, I decided to create my own method to study for the NCLEX and pass it.

Listen to this first episode of NCLEX Ready to discover everything you need to know about my journey.

>> Let’s dive in.

NCLEX

Tomorrow is the day. 

I have been keeping myself busy all day in order to stave off the anxiety from making me have a complete meltdown. I went to my coffee shop, the testing center, the library, the store (had to get some snacks to have available during the test), and then I made sure that my car was filled with gas for tomorrow. 

I have been watching Bob’s Burgers a lot and listening to lofi in order to keep me calm and distracted. It was also nice to do something that wasn’t so draining mentally. It was nice to just watch tv and laugh while listening to calming music. 

I will admit that there was one point in the day where my heart was pounding hard in my chest, but I did what I could in order to distract myself and become calmer again.

I know I’m going to pass this test. I also know that some anxiety is going to be present..and that’s ok. I would be more concerned if I wasn’t worried at all. I’m actually pretty concerned as to what to wear there. They say to dress in layers, but from my visits I know that the air works perfectly haha. I was thinking of wearing soft leggings and a T-shirt and also bringing shorts just in case. I know it is trivial, but I want to make sure I am comfortable so I can focus.

I can’t wait to have the letters RN after my name. I also can’t wait to not study for once in my life haha.

I am going to pass my NCLEX.

Self-isolating

So my therapist and I agreed it would be best if I self-isolated till I take my test. We really had to decide between the lesser of the two evils.

On one hand, going out to coffee shops, being around people and getting out of the house was really helping me in all aspects of mental health. I wasn’t feeling alone and it gave me something to look forward to.

On the other hand, if I get sick before my test and the testing site doesn’t let me in, I will probably die on the spot. I don’t think mentally it would be good for me to wait any longer to take this test. 

I am ready to take my NCLEX. 

My therapist seemed really happy with my progress and my acceptance of my dependent personality disorder. I am feeling happier, less anxious, and more confident. She loved my use of positive affirmations and proactive about easing myself into what the environment might be like when I take my test.

I’m taking my practice tests with a mask on, headphones on, and I’m going to see the testing center before the date of my test. 

I really want to work at a little coffee shop. Something about it makes me feel so at ease. Just thinking about making lattes, seeing people come in, making something I enjoy, it just really makes me feel complete. I would be so happy with just a little part-time job, one day a week, just as a way to do something I enjoy that isn’t stressful. Coffee and barista stuff is an interest of mine, and I would love to make it a hobby as well.

I am going to pass my NCLEX.
