nclex preparation

Hi...i just joined myself. i understand where you are coming from especially when u said that ur family and friends keep asking you when you are taking it and you should take it as soon as possible...just tell them you'll take it when you are ready..that's what I been saying. It's frustrating already taking the exam and even more frustrating and pressure when people keep asking you about it..before taking it you really have to be confident (what I'm told and trying to be) prepare yourself the best you can (i'm trying as we speak). No one else can take this exam for you. Try to be around positive people, no negativity..don't give up no matter what...if u need a break take one..pull yourself together...i know it's easier said than done..but keep trying....u need to vent or ask for help i think this is where you can do it cuz most of us are in the same boat and we can support each other

Great post... I'm going insane, and I'm sooooo sick of people asking when I'm taking it!!!:argue: Very soon is what I say!

But through it all, I'm trying to stay as positive as I can.

he is on h1 visa am on dependant visa though his papers got cleared off ...I140 is not yet cleared not yet so the lawyer told not to activate the ead.....so the whole thing is on my head instead getting encoragement and motivation ........am made guilty ....i told that i wud change my place of study either to library or to classroom for some days becos i feel bored siting at home and i dont know driving too....since am not in touch with studies i feel that if i go to classroom becos i am online kaplan study it wud be fine to get some interactions...he feels tahts a time waste ....i try my level best to study ...to say the i was a nurse and teaching in my college for some after coming here for marriage .....i just want to share and get some help thats why i let out frustration...am not able to cope....please give some suggestions...to passs in this exma...

First off I just want to say :wlcmblks: !!! I would try Suzanne's Plan and postpone NCLEX till you are ready. You might also want to take a look at the Random Facts Sticky Thread too and the Infection Control Thread. Good luck with your NCLEX and talk to your husband. Mine was a real stinker too, wanted me to hurry up. :loveya:

I just saw you are planning on taking your boards in end of October. You need 15 posts to be able to PM Suzanne which is one part of her plan. Read the sticky regarding her plan.

I just wanted to say :wlcmblks:.:redbeathe

howlong the suzzanes plan takes to study ?is it ok october end

please how to use this plan?

I doubt you will meet Oct as you need to complete the first tip and then need just over 45 days for her actual program. She normally emails on 1st and 15th of the month but does depend on what her shifts are like

hi merina,

i understand what you've been going through. family pressure really sucks. i am an inactive nurse for more than a decade. now, i am into reviewing for the nclex. there is also pressure since my husband's sister passed the nclex at first try many years ago. so in a way, this pressure keeps me going and really push me to study hard and if possible to be able to go back into practice again.

at times, when you feel this pressure, ask yourself. what do you really want to achieve? focus on yourself, not on the pressure your family is throwing on you. believe that you can make it. this allnurses.com is where you can find support from another family, us... keep your head up merina! we'll be praying for you. :wink2:

goinginsane24 couldn't have said it any better. Most of the time I'm angry when people keep asking me..Same questions over and over..it's frustrating!! I'm taking my test soon but I HAVE NOT TOLD ANYONE!! I think it's better this way cause the anxiety of having to tell everyone how u did after you test is just...stressfull let alone you being in the test center and possibly thinking about it while you test!! Don't do that, seriously just keep it to yourself. Your husband should be more supportive w/c sucks but I think most of us are going through the same situation. Really though look into Suzanne's Plan..I have faith that it'll work.

thank you sunnybunny...lvdreamer...and melinurse for your comments. one of you said it's not possible to take it in october if we start the program now..i started last week still feels like a lot to go for the first tip but guess just do it day by day...so hopefully sometime in november..but u guys are right that we have to be ready to take it

:)
