Hi everyone again.

I'm studying and forgetting. What am I doing wrong? Thank you Jules and everyone for good advise to march test takers. It helps us stay on track.

19 days pre NCLEX feels like only 2 days LEFT. I don't want to slack anymore. It's NOW, NOW and NOW :)

R some of u guys doing "NCLEX made incredibly easy" book? What do you think of that one? Like u know how saunders say, if the answer says HOT/HEAT u don't chose it normally. Right? One question in Nclex made incredibly easy, the answer with the word hot was the correct one. I would think warm pad not hot pad, but it was right in thatbook. So, now I'm getting confused and less confident.

How are you guys with fluid and electrolytes? I think whatever I'm studying it's not getting stored in my brain storage, coz I seem to be forgetting the very next day. What am I doing wrong? I am understanding the processes for the most part, yes. There are times, no I'm not.

Also another question. when you do Saunders study mode, Is there a way to get back to your BOOKMARKS? How do you find the ones you bookmarked? Coz I didn't. What's the purpose of bookmark then? Please suggest how to find the ones u bookmarked.

Thank you all. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul," and He will carry you through :) - I have to keep saying this to myself coz my mind wants to wander and worry about things I don't need to be worrying right now.

one more day before the inquisition...light reviewing of a few notes whilst sipping chai and listening to the birds sing...I don't feel confident, but I don't feel non-confident. I just might pass...

Good Luck. May God be with you.

Hey, sounds like some of you are starting to crack...don't let me catch you in the psych ward! I'm feeling it too, since I switched back to the kaplan QT this week...did 265q's today, and man, I'm shaky tonite...I can see why the wise one's advocate taking the day off before the test. If I had to do 265 tomorrow, I'd be in a haze after 100! Back to the trader joe's cherry trail mix cookies...I mean, studying.

Hehe, u never know. With this rate, it seems like. I've warned my close friends about my :angryfire for couple of weeks. And I have already asked sorry for the :angryfire times. And they say, no problem, please yell at me. Today, I told one of my friends, I feel like yelling and screaming right now like go on top of hte mo untain and scream. and the suggestion was scream right now on the phone. :uhoh3:

It's funny, these days when I'm nto meanyhead and :angryfire, one of my friend said, r u okay? Jez! Their exact word, "I like it when u are mean." Oh Lordy Lord! This is funny! And ofcourse, I've forgotten my etiquettes and politeness for couple of weeks/months, so I said, "JUST SHUT UP"

U know I take inspiration from Project runway, america's next top model ppl, iron chef and all. it might sound funny. But those ppl have to perform it under pressure also. We just have to keep our head straight even when we feel like pulling our hairs i guess :). I say to myself, Donald Trump only gets 4 hours of sleep :). I know, I just have to try different techniques on stubborn me that just wants to not study : )

I'm using it, but I haven't come across that question yet. What section is it?

I just found out i failed. I went up to 81 qtns, i felt sure i was giving the right responses,

thinking through the responses ABC, MASLOW Nursing process, all that good stuff. but i guess i did not do it. :o This was my 1st attempt. I graduated may 07, makes me think i waited too long. Anyways, i have gone thru the grieving process & am now re-organizing my self to go back ASAP. I never took any review class of any kind, i used the Q.T kaplan, and some ATI dvds/never read the books. Any ideas anyone?

Good luck to the other march testers.
