One Week to Go!

This time next week I will either be taking the NCLEX or finished! The bulk of my prep has been taking 100 question tests where I score in the 70's. I'd like to see improvement however I've been extremely consistent so far. I've studied pedi, maternity and pharm to some extent although pharm questions definitely make me nervous! Overall I feel like I am on track. I still need to work on getting up early. Tomorrow I will do a dry run (wake up at 5:30, eat a healthy breakfast, get dressed and take the T to my test site) and see how long it takes me. Then, I can come back home and take another practice test. I am generally an evening person so I should plan on getting up early and "waking up" well before I am expected to do some heavy thinking. Today, I overslept, ate breakfast, dressed, and took a practice test. The rhythm is there, I just need to start 2 hours earlier.
I'm feeling a little nervous and I'm sure cranky to those around me. In general I feel positive and ready to move on from the NCLEX. I'm not thrilled about re-starting the job hunt because the market in Boston is not very encouraging. I have confidence that I'll find something eventually and am praying that it will be a good experience. I will do what I can on my side and hope for the best! This time next week, I will be even closer to putting RN after my name- the start of many initials I hope!
