How should I proceed with my studying?

Published

AGGGHHHH!!! I graduated on December 12th. I received mt certificate of completion from my school on January 9th. I am thinking okay, 3 weeks, I should be receiving my ATT any day right? I called the Bureau of Health Professionals today (yeah, ants in my pants). I was informed that they are 3-4 weeks behind in mail and It could be at least another 4 weeks before things are checked and processed. She even checked my name and said that I am registered, but my ATT is pending on info from my school.

Now what? I have been studying pretty much everyday since graudation. I have all these flashcards, Review books, stuuuufff on the computer. I know I set myself self up thinking I could take my exam by the end February. I even decided not to take my daughter to see Tinkerbell and the Lion King on Ice because it was going to be my "NCLEX DAY". When it is all said and done, It will be 2-3 months before I could even get a date....:angryfire

My main question, should I give it a break for 2 weeks and gather my marbles (I sure feel like I am loosing 'em:bugeyes:)? Waiting to take my NCLEX is like a mental block for me. Can anyone relate?

Sometimes a short break can recharge the batteries and brain but 2 weeks may be a bit long. Just keep practicing questions for a couple of hours a day but take a few days off if you feel you need it

Consider using Suzanne's plan. Many are successful with it. Good luck.

Just my opinion, but it sounds like you need to pick one method of study and stick to it. I did Kaplan and passed with 75 qestions in 45 minutes so of course I LOVE Kaplan :)
