I am planning to take the exam mid of july, so far I am reading the Saunder's Comprehensive and doing the Q& A after each topic. I started on Maternity last week, and by tomorrow I will start Pediatic.

@luckymelissa: I live in Maryland :-(

I am so nervous about the NCLEX! I don't know whether I should just go over everything or just focus on my weaknesses! I graduate in May and I have one big project due, so hopefully that doesn't disturb my NCLEX studying!

Planning to take in July too. I hope I can do this, I graduated 2005 with no hospital experience. Took nclex last 2008 but didnt make it. I dont know where to start. I plan to do Hurst online, if anyone here already tried Hurst let me know the feedback.

I've been doing Hurst and it is simple amazing! I highly recommend it! I'm planning to take my NCLEX around June, I've been studying on and off for a couple months now. I've done Hurst, the free Kaplan NCLEX prep online, Saunders and Mosby's Flashcards and PharmCards

[Addymae]

I'm retesting this Summer or Fall, not sure when though. Just paid my application fees today actually. I first took the exam back in October. *Sigh* I have no idea where to start..I just ordered Kaplan strategy book and Lacharity Prioritization, Delegation&Assignment, and gonna do the Kaplan free online preps whenever I can--so hopefully that helps. I'm working on a study schedule now. How many hours do you all usually study in a day??

[DocsWifey]

I try to do 3-4 hours every day. It's not always easy with 3 kids and a husband who's never home. Thank god for nap times and early bed times! :-). Also trying to squeeze in a couple NCLEX questions every day, but that doesn't always happen

[DocsWifey]

Right now I'm working on pharm...... urgh

[Finallymadeit BSN RN]

Taking Nclex pn for the first time the second week in May and so nervous. I am studying Saunders and Exam Cram doing 100 questions a day, any suggestions so that this is the first and last time that I have to take this test. I cannot go thru this agony again.
