Nurses Month 2024 | Discounts & Freebies AORN Celebrates Nurses Month

I received my eligibility letter from CA board of nursing 4 days ago,haven't registered yet in personvue. Anyway, I plan to take it (NCLEX-RN) on August!! And I'm so excited!! To all August NCLEX takers, let's share our thoughts,feelings, and knowledge, as well as review strategies towards passing nclex! I believe having that kind of relationship with others will help us pass the exam!!

GOD BLESS TO ALL OF US!! ^_^

i got my eligibility last week also. i was planning to take nclex-rn this september but i figured it was to long of a wait. i might not take my anxiety level by that time. so august it is!

good luck to us.

i am reading saunders and doing questions. but i still dont have any concreate plan for stuying. oh my i need to figure it out soon!!!!:confused:

If anyone is interested to download an MP3 live lecture on MCM, Med-surg & pedia just pm me and i'll send you the link 'coz i'm aint sure it's allowed here,don't wanna violate ruLes!

All those who'll be taking NCLEX are WELCOME just pm me.. We'll make a list of upcoming nclex takers to track each other and to check how's everyone with the study process. For short, help one another esp on their weak areas. I believe some people are weak at one aspect but has mastery on the other.

Thank you guys! Keep up the GOOD sTudy HABITS!! I too, have difficulty now a days,because of the rainy season i tend to be sleepy!! I'm trying my BEST, though!:clown:

hope it helps!

to everyone: please let us share what we have so that everyone will benefit!

***my professor once said "when studying study first the topics that is most difficult for you."

*** since we still have months to review this would be useful, but if we cram i don't think it'll be.

***choose only one place where you will study. don't study in the bed -because sometimes instead studying you sleep.:sleep: prevent sleeping temptations. provide your self a table and chair with comfotable height.

*** so focus on the areas you are weakest, then up to the strongest.

***when reading a book - read it fast first to test your mind and do highlights ( i recommend yellow,green 'coz important notes are really emphasized..also, some says orange 'coz it is easier to be retained in the mind).. then read it again when you don't have to highlights anymore and important details are already emphasized through highlights. by this time you can read it slowly and chew the information from the book thoroughly.

***don't forget to eat before you study but not to much! like a machine, put fuel first so you could utilize it efficiently. not to much,again the main opponents of studying is sleeping!!! why?? when the stomach is full the more the blood gashes to that area, less on the brain so less info retention and you become sleepy.:sleep:

*** most important.. ask god for wisdom first.. it is better than asking for knowledge... widsom is harder to get than knowldge. with that it would be easier for us to understand what we are studying and the purpose why we have to pass the exam.

'til next time!! god bless everyone!!:icon_roll
