I'm in the state of feeling lost and I just waned to let it out:

I graduated in June from an LPN program and I completely went haywire. Long story short, My mind just got lazy and i stopped studying. My boards is scheduled for Sept and I'm so nervous, Does anyone have any tips to get back on track?? Thanks for your time.

Get the latest Kaplan review book. It comes with a CD ROM with a question bank. Also Saunders is good too. Ask your friends to burn you a copy if they already have them. Worked for me as a new RN.

you gotta make a plan. what you need to review. because you simply cannot re-read everything. besides, if you know it, you KNOW it.

Well, I took time off after I graduated from Nursing School to focus on my studying and be READY to take the NCLEX. I wasn't in any rush to test. I used a book as a guide. (I forget which one)

I graduated in May 1998 with my ADN, and sat for my boards in Oct 1998. I felt ready to test, and I passed the first time. Many students can't wait to take the NCLEX and schedule the first available appointment, but I wanted to do it in MY time. It turned out great for me.

Best wishes for you!

My dream is dead in the midway of my life to be a nurse

I guess my advice would be to just study a little bit each day. I personally didn't study a few days before the test - I wanted to clear my mind in order to relax before the boards. What truly got me thru the test was a lot of prayer - just turned it over to God and said if this is meant to be, it will be - I passed the first time.

Thank you everyone for their encouragement. I just needed a "waking slap" to the face. Couldn't sleep last night, but will start thinking positive thoughts. =D
