Advice please

[musicman1976]

I just found out I failed Nclex for the SECOND time with 265 questions. I started using the Saunders book with content but found it a bit overwhelming.. Also found myself wanting to snooze after I had my nose in a book after a while. Did some of the Saunders online q-bank but not much. I bought NCSBN 3 week and did most of the Q-banks which I found somewhat helpful and did most of the chapters in PDA. When I actually took the Nclex I felt like a deer in headlights with some of the questions. Since I seem to enjoy studying via computer more Im thinking about Hurst or ATI. I WILL pass this $#%*& thing!!! Any advice?? Things will probably get harder as I now will have to pick up another job for income.

Start your day with a prayer

You need to have a regular study habit and make a calendar. Each day you should have a goal. Wake up everyday with the same routine.

For example:

8:00 am - Breakfast

9:00 am - 12:00 pm - Review

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Lunch

1:00 pm - 5:00 pm - Review

And so on...

Monitor your scores & take your time understanding rationale's.

End your day with a prayer

I felt the same way with the snoozing! I thought both NCSBN and Hurst were helpful for me in the long run. If you end up getting NCSBN again since it's inexpensive, I recommend at least finishing most if not all the practice banks even if you don't go through the lessons. I did the 3 week too and spent a week just doing the practice banks first. I felt like I learned a lot just through reading and understanding the rationales. I think Hurst is good but a little pricey. You do get 6 Q-Reviews which I thought were just as helpful as NCSBN. And since you have the PDA book, maybe try to finish the lessons on there too. It's really up to you. Good luck!!
