Graduation coming up...help!

Published

I'm in my last semester of the RN program and the days to graduation are flying by. What should I be doing to prepare myself for NCLEX now? Is it worth it to buy extra study tools? I have a couple of NCLEX practice books and my program does ATI testing. Does anyone have any more input?

Hi there! Just relax and don't panick. You have enough study materials but you might want to purchase Kaplan RN strategies 2010-11 to help you perfect your crtitical thinking skills( It really helped me to pass my nclex rn exam!). Read your ATI content book or saunders to review content and do 80-100 Q per day of that content you are studying from cds. e.g. reading renal on monday, do 80-100 Q on renal :)

Thanks for the info! I feel like I should be studying already, and I sometimes forget I still have so much to do in the program before graduation! How soon after graduation did you take your NCLEX?

I graduated may 5 2010. Then I studied from early June till mid August-took the board and passed. But some of my friends took it late July. It all depends when you are ready to take the exam. :cool:

Do some reading on the NCLEX forum to get some ideas about how you want to go about this task.
