It's been a good long while since I have been on AN. It feels good to be back.
I graduated last month after 2.5 years of hard work it finally paid off to walk across the stage and receive my degree as a RN graduate!
Today I got my ATT and my stomach was in my throat. It's time to prepare for the NCLEX-RN and to pass it on the first try!
I did a two step program got my LPN first and then RN but went on straight thru the program. I didn't study hardly at all for my LPN boards and passed on the first try.
I scheduled my exam for Oct. 31st...yes, Halloween. I will be preparing for it until a couple days before the exam to just relax and mellow out. Already scheduled a therapeutic relaxation massage for the day before the exam. :)
I have been casually doing/taking Kaplan NCLEX-RN on demand and have been doing a smidge above average for the diagnostic and for q-trainer 1. I plan on stepping up my question amounts to about 150 per day and to review EACH correct and incorrect rationale to get a good grasp of test strategy.
I will also be hammering down my lab values, ABGs etc. and nursing skills by doing online games and youtube videos.
Is there anything else I should do? I feel a ton of content review is behind me now. That's what nursing school was for. I will review major topics but not look at the nitty gritty and nit pick.
