HELP!!! Working full time and studying for Nclex

[bellabgn]

Hi everyone! I recently graduated from nursing school in October and recently started a full-time job. I have been doing some studying but I feel like it's not enough. I try to do at least 50 questions a day either before or after work using my NCLEX-RN Mastery App and try to use flash cards from my Cram app. I feel like I'm all over the place and need some structure. I don't know show to study for this. Do you guys have any suggestions? I'm weak in content and feel like I don't know anything. Has anyone else felt this way after nursing school? I was thinking about using Hurst to help with that. I also have the Saunders book and was think about using it along with Hurst to help cover content. Is that a good idea? I'm so nervous about taking the NCLEX. I haven't scheduled a date yet but I was thinking about scheduling it for sometime in April or May so I could give myself enough time to study. I was also thinking about taking a Kaplan course after taking Hurst to help with my test taking strategies. I've also heard that Kaplan's Q-Trainers can be really helpful and since Kaplan's questions are similar to NCLEX I think it might be helpful. I just want to do all that I can to pass on the first try. Please, if you have any suggestions or if you are/were in a similar situation and you're doing/did something that worked, please let me know. I can use all the help I can get. Your feedback and support means so much to me. Thank you so much guys.

Nursing made insanely easy by sylvia rayfield with the mnemonics and pictures is nice for content review thats memorable.

I know what this like. I have two children and I am doing it very similar to how you did it with the allotted times. This sat i am going to write out a study schedule and see if i could stick to it. Dedicate about 2 hours a night to questions. Thanks again
