OMG - Congrats! Well done! Ceeee-le-brate good times COME ON! (Everybody now...) Ceeeee-le-brate good times come on! :)

I made an 86 on mine, 2nd highest in the class - to an 88, and I worked me @$$ off to get it too! Studying 5-6 hours a night is my life now! I'm sure you can relate!

Love to all the others that are getting close to that first exam!

Hmmmmm tips.... eat, sleep, breath nursing... yep thats about it... seriously like someone else said, five or six hrs a night. I take a break when I am reading but not learning, just get up move and get a drink. I write stuff I really want to remember on note cards and carry them everywhere. I dont get all crazy like some students and carry 50.. I carry 10 at a time until I know them. Then I also write lists in a note book, of facts I want to remember. I also define term's I dont know,sometimes I even write the definition in the book at the top or side of the page! My book is getting its moneys worth! I read the objectives at the beginning of the chapter, as well as look at the critical thinking and NCLEX type questions at the end of every chapter. If I miss the NCLEX q's I figure out what the right answer was and focus on learning that area. Oh yeah and go with your gut instinct on questions and dont change your mind. I missed a really simple question by overthinking it and changing it at the last minute.

Oh and if you dont understand something in your book, get a different one or youtube it! Getting a different perspective helps :-)

Sorry about the grammer, its dark I am exhausted from school/work :-) Good Luck with your future exams!

Got my first coming on Tue....5 or 6 hrs a night? Oh yeah! And for that study tip KC, if you don't mind me giving one, our mentor told us this and so far it has really helped me: after every section stop and ask yourself, "what did I just learn?" When I try to recall it, I do it in a way like I'm teaching it to someone. Sounds kinda dorky I know, but it sure is helpedng me to retain stuff. Here's hoping it'll show on my first exam! :D

Congrats!! It feels good to start off with a good grade, a lot less stressful than the other alternative!

Yes but its broken up, I do laundry, cook and get kids to bed in between. But basically the whole time I have my head in the books..
