Hello,

I'm graduating nursing school this week - and just mailed in my application to take the dreaded NCLEX!!!!!!

Any advice or words of wisdom for studying????

I'm not going to be able to do the review courses - it seems like they all run in the several hundreds of dollars price range and I'm tapped out when it comes to cash these days......:uhoh21:

I'm getting pretty nervous right about now!!

I moved your post to the NCLEX Discussion Forum so that you get more responses. Do you have any NCLEX review materials right now?

Sure you will do fine. Make sure you set set times to study and try not to get distracted or move the times about. Good luck

I used Saunders to study, that was all I used for a couple months leading up to the NCLEX. Then just a week or two before I took the NCLEX, I did some of the MosbyCAT tests to help get me familiar with the way the CAT works.

But honestly, nothing could have prepared me for it.

Good luck to you!
