Hi all, I recently graduated from nursing school in May (yayyy!!!)
I take my NCLEX on June 13th. I have been doing questions daily and recently increased in to 70-100/ day (side note I am not the type of person who can study all day. Never was. I take breaks...like alot)
I'm doing Uworld 90 day plan and NCLEX RN Mastery.(I use Uworld more but I use both to help reinforce info) I also use my Saunders comprehensive review and HESI RN book as references. I take notes on the rationals and am looking at lab values, therapeutic ranges, and electrolytes, I also am looking at the 35 page review guide that has been going around.
I am starting to get very discouraged. My scores on Uworld are 50-60% with some in the 70's and a few in the 40s.
Do you have any tips for how to go about this?
Also how much of the NCLEX is critical care? I seem to not know much about vents and I'm worried the nclex will ask about it.

Do you mean July 13th. June 13th has already passed?
There is no set amount of questions for particular subject. Some people may have a lot of questions on Maternity and others will have none. Some will have a lot of drug questions or math and others will have little. The questions are random, so the topics are also random.
A large percentage of the pool of potential questions is Medical/ Surgical which can contain Critical Care questions.
