i started preparing for my nclex since september while waiting for bon to grant my eligibility. however, i consistently followed my study plan late december after they issued my att. (cramming noted..lol) the books that i utilized for my review are kaplan, exam cram, la charity and nursingonlinereview.com serves as my qbank.
i tried answering 75, 150 then 300 questions daily. however, my average scores on the practice exams were only 50-70% which was kind of depressing. i recently found out that i am 5 wks preggy (first baby) and i honestly couldn't take the physiological changes in me especially the morning sickness and fatigue. i always end up sleeping on the table leaning on my reviewers. oh i can't wait to overcome the calvary of first trimester. 
now i have two challenges before my exam, my anxiety level is shooting up high and my body is trying to adapt the natural changes of being an expectant mom. these challenges may be present but i will never surrender because jesus, our lifegiver and dreammaker is in our side.
may god bless me and all of you who will be taking the exam soon.
♥ ♥ ♥ psalm 46 ♥ ♥ ♥
1 god is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
2 therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 there is a river whose streams make glad the city of god,
the holy place where the most high dwells.
5 god is within her, she will not fall;
god will help her at break of day.
6 nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 the lord almighty is with us;
the god of jacob is our fortress.
8 come and see what the lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 he makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
10 he says, "be still, and know that i am god;
i will be exalted among the nations,
i will be exalted in the earth."
11 the lord almighty is with us;
the god of jacob is our fortress.
