   Carebear77 replied to Carebear77's topic in NCLEX

   Good luck. I know how hard it is to pick yourself up, swallow your pride and start finding another way to study. Just keep telling yourself you will pass. Review content you're not confident in and review it, and do tons of practice questions, review...

    I can understand. It is a very strong drug. I really didn't care what they gave me. I don't like feeling so drugged up I just didn't want to be in pain. Btw my dose was only 0.5 so not much but it was enough to take the edge off.
