Hello All,
I just started studying for the NCLEX yesterday. I said that I would start off by doing 50 questions from Kaplan a day and read all rationales. I would also look up content that I forgot or was unfamiliar with in my Saunders book. As I started reading I starting feeling very fatigued and not really up for all the studying. I made a 52% on my first Qtrainer. I've made a 57% on the first set of Qbank questions and a 65% on the second set. Has anyone used the content videos for studying? I'm finding them to be way more helpful then reading book after book. Since I just graduated a week ago, I'm feeling very overwhelmed and don't really know what I'm doing with myself. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing or even getting myself ready for this test. I wasn't really nervous about taking the NCLEX until I took the Kaplan review course. I made me start second guessing myself. I'm trying to schedule the NCLEX within the next month so I can go ahead and start my job. Please, any advice that you all can offer will be of great help! I just need a clear plan that want leave me feeling burnt out at the end of the day.
