How much time did you spend preparing for the NCLEX-RN? What is the average? I don't want to wait too long, but I don't want to jump in too quickly and not be ready. I am taking an online review course and working practice problems. I really want to take it as soon as possible to get it over with. I am thinking 3-4 weeks, spending about 4 hours a day preparing - 2 hours in am, then again 2 hrs at night. Any advise or suggestions would be helpful, including sharing your plan and how many weeks you are taking to prepare. Thanks!

That's about what I've been doing. I do about 100 questions a day, and use 3 different books.

Specializes in ICU.

I took my NCLEX almost 3 weeks after graduation. I just got the results that I passed. I did about 100 questions a day and reviewed my weak points. I got through it!! I'm glad the weight is off my shoulders!
