I graduated at the end of March. I took a 2 week break before even considering studying. I honestly didn't review much until the week of the test, but I don't recommend this. I just know what works well for me. After researching study plans online, I found something that I liked: study for 2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. Review EVERYTHING, including what you learned in any intro to healthcare classes. They focus on delegation, prioritizing, infection control, psychosocial, and safety according to my ATI books. Review any meds that your teachers told you to star. Give NCLEX-PN 3000, 3500, or 4000 a try. There are some books out there that will help you get practice with answering NCLEX type questions. Good luck!
Thanks !

One or two weeks break is not too much to ask, but after that it is time to buckle down, set a date, and go to it. The longer you put it off, the more you can forget!
