July 2009 NCLEX Support Group

[Meriwhen]

I didn't see a July 09 support group thread up, so I thought I'd get it started.

I'm taking the NCLEX-RN July 3rd for the first (and hopefully only) time. I figured I'd get it done before the holiday weekend so I could at least enjoy some of the time off instead of spending the holiday chained to textbooks...as I've done for the last two years.

Good luck to all of us in July!

Hello. I am brand new here and am THRILLED to have found this place. I don't have any nursing friends where I live now and am pretty much freaking out. I have yet to receive my ATT but am hoping to take the NCLEX the first or second week of July.

I had to go out of town right after graduation, then I had some personal issues to deal with so I didn't get started until the last week in May. I'm taking Kaplan online, and using the Saunders book to fill in the content. The Saunders questions make me feel like I've mastered the essentials and I should go test tomorrow, and the Kaplan questions make me feel like I don't know a damn thing and I should reschedule for sometime in 2013

Oh, I can relate to the above. I'm taking the in-class version for Kaplan. It does make one feel like he/she does not know anything. :) I'm using Saunders too for content review, the Exam-Cram CD, and LaCharity's Prioritization, Delegation, & Assignment book.

Best wishes to all July test takers!

I'm so glad it wasn't just me! I graduated at the top of my class and scored very high on every standarized test they threw at me, so I know I know something about the content and test-taking...but I was beginning to wonder if I lost all of my knowledge and common sense in the 3 weeks off

I'm convinced that Kaplan is more of an emotional roller coaster than the entire two years of NS was!

I want to test in July but I can't get the Ohio Board of Nursing to get their heads out of the sand to even process my application. It's very frustrating when you have a job lined up just waiting on you to take the NCLEX. Hope everyone does well!!

I am glad I found this thread for some support. I am taking mine for the first time on July 3. I haven't reviewed anything for a month now. I just took in-class Kaplan course.

Can anyone suggest a study plan that works for them?

Good luck to all JULY test takers!!
