I have spent hours upon hours doing practice questions, between 2000-3000 questions total. I took the review course, and brushed up on my content. I've studied and applied test taking strategies and ways to come to an answer of a 4-option multiple choice question when you have no idea what the answer is. I've taken a comprehensive predictor exam that says that I have a 99% chance of passing the NCLEX the first time I take it.
Why do I feel so powerless, nervous and scared?
Because I'm afraid of failure.
And because I'm forgetting to focus on the one thing that has been constant throughout this whole adventure.
I've never been alone one second of the way since I went back to school. I have gotten into classes I had no way of getting into, I have passed my classes with flying colors and have exceeded my expectations fay beyond what I imagined when I decided to give nursing a go. God has been with me every step of the way, meeting my needs exactly as they needed to be. Whatever happens tomorrow, it is part of plan and everything is going to work out.
"Be anxious about nothing, but in everything, though prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6-7.

Great perspective. I'll be remembering you tomorrow, and praying too. Don't forget to let us now how you think you've done. Do you get results immediately, or do they make you sweat it out?
Oh, they make us sweat it out. Like 3-5 days before they post online if you are a licensed RN, you get your actual license in like 1-2 weeks. Apparently there's some trick you can do to find out, but it isn't official. Thanks for the prayers... :)
