Exactly. You are not going to know everything and that's OK. 90% of what I know today, I learned on the job. My advice for studying is this.....remember you cannot possibly know everything. When I first started studying for the NCLEX, I tried studying everything, well I realized that was way too much. I decided to study the areas I didn't know much about, like peds, and quickly reviewed areas I felt somewhat comfortable with, like cardiac. From there, I did lots and lots and lots of review questions! I think this is what helped me the most. There is a strategy to test taking, so doing lots of questions gives you practice. And remember the basics, like your ABC's, that got me through quite a few questions on NCLEX. I don't think I did Kaplan or anything like that, so I can't help you there. Best of luck to you! You will probably surprise yourself when you realize how much you really do know.

I feel better now and realized that I am thinking way too much and that I need to narrow it down. I need to relax. It is true there is no way we will know everything. What is important we can do and promote our job in a safe way to our patients and be a good advocate. Again, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!! Please continue to pray for me, I am going to take the test next month. Thank you so much. God bless you all..........
