April 2008 NCLEX test takers, COME ON IN!

Published

Per the request of janina08 ;) I've started the April NCLEX takers support group. When do you take it? What are you using to study? Would anyone like to review any of the systems/meds that he/she feels weakest on? Let's keep each other in our prayers and good thoughts as we go through one of the biggest experiences of our lives. :) :nurse:

Hello Everyone here,

I would like to join this support group:lol2:. I am always log in this particular forum:an!: everyday and practically reading posts that helps me to motivate each day. I was in January 2008 support group before but unfortunately I failed.:crying2:

So I am going to take the exam for the 3rd time on April 22 (please add me MAVE to the list):yeah:. I am now currently doing Suzanne's Plan, 2nd Tip which is really helping me a lot in studying (hopefully a BIG help too in passing the exam and be an RN:nurse:).

The Suzanne's study plan itself also helps me in doing my everyday routine. Meaning I can do more household chores, run errands here and there:roll, at the same time taking care my 8 month old baby:dncgbby:. The way I am preparing for the NCLEX now is way different than before:typing.

Previously I was always have the feeling of pressure:smackingf, stressful:wtosts:, disorganized :crash_comand tired of studying :yawn:(headaches after reading too much):banghead:.

But now I would say I am relax:tbsk: and feel better though sometimes I still feel inadequate which I guess that normal to most of us.:redpinkhe
