I graduated from my ADN program in May. I just got my provisional license June 11th. Since I am unemployed, coming up with the $200 for the NCLEX is difficult, but thanks to mom and loving boyf

I haven't taken NCLEX yet, but many people rave about Suzanne's Plan with Saunders https://allnurses.com/forums/f197/07-08-revision-suzanne-s-first-tip-314448.html. It's free, you already have the book, so why not get started in a solid direction. Good luck.

hmm I seem to have cut off most of my original post. Anyhoo, I read some of Suzannes' plan and I'm starting Tip #1. Its amazing how much information is lost between graduation and taking boards. I hope to register this month and get my ATT so I can hopefully take it by Aug/Sept. Though that might not give me enough time to do her program. I have an interview next week and I hope I get it, even though I don't have a test date yet. Here in KY we have to do a clinical internship before getting our permananet license, which is the reason I can get a job before taking boards.

The rest of my post actually did have a question LOL. I've read about Suzanne's plan using Saunders. I have that, plus the Kaplan Review book given during the Senior Seminar at my school. Is there anything else I should be doing? I try to study, but feel like I've forgotten more than I ever knew and it scares me. I've been very stressed out with not being able to get a job, and I honestly feel at my wits end....which I know is not coducive to studying.

Any good relaxation techniques?
