This is too much for me!

I think many of you would disagree about my obstacles when studying for the NCLEX.Can't believe it.My wife seem to really don't care how much effort I make for this exam. I know it's mother's day, I forgot to give her a gift and now here she is, our house is a mess.I'm too busy reading my book and doing household chores and yet she just throw those ???? words that I embraced my sleeping daughter for comfort.I hoped she just go away like what she said then I would really be fine.no joke... Are some guys here in my position? I'm taking NCLEX on July, hope these obstacles help me to focus more.Ma'am suzanne4 I will keep my word, I won't take a review course and I will follow your plan.please helpme....God bless me!!

Re: This is too much for me!

I hear ya brother.

I too am a male, married, awith 2 yr old. soooo i can totally relate.

--my wife is an RN also, and what i did to "appease" the masses was i got a "routine" down to a science that appeased everyone.

what i did-is this

i would wake up around-530 am or so with my son-i would get him situated , BFAST , dressed etc, i would do the housework, dishes , pick up toys, put in a load of laundry--etc since i would do this everyday-it was kept up and not much needed to be done.

then my wife would get home around 630-and the house was cleaned and her son was taken care for--WIFE IS HAPPY

then she would spend time with him for a few hours before she went to bed

during this time i would do questions-because when i took my tests it wa always around 0800 start time-so i got used to this-taking questions at 0800

a few hours this and wife went to bed-i took over dad duties-anf thorought the day-especially for his naps i would review content.

--this worked for me and kept everyone happy and stress free-

hope this helps

Thanks bro, maybe if i passed this NCLEX test, I would be laughing in the end with this kind of preparation. Sometimes, I get emotional, tired but it makes me stronger especially when I'm with my daughter.I'm not losing hope. This is my 2nd time for NCLEX and hopefully with God's grace, He will give it to me as I work my way to it. Congrats JON "NCLEX SLAYER".IF anything happens to my NCLEX test I'll post it here no matter what the result is.Thanks bro...--"The Soldier Boy"
