I am using Mary Ann Hogans Review, exam cram and Saunders. I am also taking a review class that I paid for awhile ago. Iam mainly going to use the review for strategies. I also have a disease book that I use when I come across a question that I dont know too much about that particular disease, I study it whether I answered the question right or wrong.

I graduated last June 08 and long story short, had a baby, life got in the way and here i am. I've scheduled my test for December and am taking a review class right before. I have made up a study plan for everyday until then that consists of going through re-reading saunders and doing between 100-200 questions from the cd rom. I seem to be getting bogged down with saunders, the way the material is presented just doesn't seem to be sticking with me. I'm feeling very overwhelmed and a little unsure how to jumpstart my studying because i feel so out of touch having been out of school for almost a year and a half (not to mention, where do you find the time with a 12 mos old?). If anyone reading this has any ideas, i'm in desperate need of a good study plan and some prayer to help me get through this :confused: Thanks so much and i wish everyone taking their test in December productive study time and the drive and perseverance to succeed!

Trying my best to stay focused, but sometimes find it hard. I have been limiting my self to only coming on allurses after I have studied for a couple of hours. My husband has been making sure I study every evening too. I plan on testing mid december. Good luck to all of us.
