It sounds as if you lack motivation. You are the one who needs to come up with the motivation to get started doing what you know you need to do. All of the nagging in the world from a bunch of strangers can't motivate you. Maybe you need to get to the root of the problem. Do you want to get your nursing license? Think about that for awhile and see if you can calmly set up your study plan and commence or decide to do something else with yourself. Good luck.

Attend a live Hurst review. These are usually 4 days in duration and will present to you the majority of the content you need to pass NCLEX. Then, after you have sat through the live review, go home and intensively study the material in the Hurst and Saunders books for two or three weeks. Answer at least 100 questions daily and review the rationales. Then set a date to retake NCLEX. Good luck to you!

I attended a live Hurst review from March 31st until April 3rd. I then studied the 200+ page booklet that was given to me in the Hurst live review for 2 weeks. Then I studied 60 to 100 questions daily from various sources such as Saunders, Hurst, and Kaplan. I reviewed the rationale for each answer, because it is important to know why you picked the right or wrong answer. If there was a disease process that I didn't really understand, I looked it up. After about 3 weeks of intense studying, I set a date to take NCLEX.
Thank u so much :)
