Im I reading to much

Each individual needs to identify the study plan that works best for them, no one plan fits all. Having said that there are several posts on here where folks have outlined the plan that worked for them. I have bookmarked several that I feel might be useful to me when I get to that point. Most have something about passing the exam in their titles. I would suggest you go back through the posts and read them, and try to identify how you want to change the structure of your plan, or if you even want to change at this point. I will include a few links from my bookmarks below, but these may or may not be the best for you:

Just looking at your list, that's a very very ambitious plan and likely too much to get through. I left myself 6 weeks after graduation to attend the Fitzgerald course and study that workbook, her published book, and Hollier's book of questions. By the time the test was a week away, I felt burnt out - like I didn't know everything but just didn't have it in me to study more. I didn't even finish going through everything. If I'd dipped back into my school texts I would have driven myself insane. Most of the review courses will suggest limiting yourself to a few sources to avoid going crazy and to leave room for what you're trying to cement in your brain.

I would bet if you go through Fitzgerald, Leik, and Hollier you will be fine. Everyone I know this year used those sources or less and passed, some people took both AANP and ANCC and passed.

I would start with the review books, and only look up more details on things you really feel weak in or don't understand. If you have extra time and energy, maybe go further, but make sure you cover at least one review book thoroughly and do lots of questions. I've seen such mixed reviews on the exam edge/familynpprep.com tests that I didn't spend my money there. I felt Hollier's book of questions was decent prep and similar to exam questions - there are some errors but I could spot them and the rationales for each question were decent. Trust in what you've done to prepare. You don't need to know everything about everything to pass - the boards are for entry-level competency.

Absolutely Adenium! I think those textbooks would make me feel overwhelmed and stressed out too. But all the reviews books and CDs pretty much covers everything you need to know( entry-level wise). However, my assessment and dermatology books has to be handy to look stuff up..:) Zmansc, thanks by the way for those bookmarked list.

Thanks for the input, because this has been frustrating . I'm ready to move forward and get pass this point:).

You will get there! Keep at it and good luck. Soon it will be in your rearview mirror.....
