    SugarSugar15 replied to SugarSugar15's topic in NCLEX

    Yes I made a calendar for myself. I just bought LaCharity's book so I'm hoping that will give me some motivation. My school also participates in the Kaplan program, so I've been doing kaplan since day one. Maybe that's why I'm so burnt.
