NCLEX Study Plan/Review

[JaxiaKiley]

I'm getting ready to graduate in December, and I'm trying to figure out the best study plan. I want to get started now so I can pass my exit HESI. I know of Suzanne's plan, but that does't work with my schedule because of the 45 days. So ...

Does anyone know of a good study plan and/or review? I looked into Kaplan, and I'm willing to take it, but it doesn't seem like it really reviews much content. I've struggled with lecture all the way through school, so I feel like I need something that will help me review the content. I know questions are good, but I'll never get them right if I don't *know* the content. I just feel so overwhelmed trying to create my own study plan.

I have the Saunder's book, but I could really use some structure on figuring out how to study.

Thanks for any advice.

Just have to find out what is right for you and your learning style. What works well for one person may not be right for another. Lots of choices out there. Do you have a date for your boards yet? If you don't have a date for your boards yet and it looks like you won't graduate till December you may want to see if you can do Suzanne's Plan. Whichever route you choose I wish you the best.

Thanks for the reply. I cannot start Suzanne's plan because I do not have a date for my boards. I've taken a lot of learning style tests, and I'm pretty balanced. It's just hard trying to come up with my own plan. I was hoping I could find something to give me an idea.

Does everyone just study random stuff and do questions? I know I should do questions, but I don't know how much time I should spend reviewing/learning, and how much time I should spend on questions.

Anybody?! Please?

I think using Saunders for review for NCLEX will be good. I think if you break it down into sections and study those sections for that specific week and then shedule yourself to do 100-200 nclex questions a day and read the rationale. That is what I plan to do.
