49 more days to go and i am getting nervous! add confused and overwhelmed to that.
hi!
i am a foreign graduate of nursing, from the Philippines..
i attended BSN for 4 years but had to stop on my 3rd year coz i had to be here in the US for a year, for immigration..
so when i went back to school ( PHIL) i felt i was left alone, knowing SOME STUFF and it was bad.. coz it was just SOME..
but gladly i graduated last MARCH 2009.
and now i'm about to take NCLEX RN, 7 months after graduating.
a year of stopping PLUS 7 MONTHS out of school i feel like i forgot alot of things, terms are like familiar but not really.. so i decided to study from FUNDAMENTALS and medsurg.
i went back to reading page by page of those big textbooks! while answering questions from MOSBY.
but alot of people here said not to read all of them coz its overwhelming and too much infos is bad too and to think WHEN WILL I FINISH if i will page by page!.
so i stopped coz i thought it was too.
now i'm enrolled in KAPLAN INTERNATIONAL program and i'm reading their workbook and the basics..
i stick to my plan of 25-30 pages per day so i could finish it up before my exam. plus the course book.
the qbank and qtrainers and seminars..
i know i could finish it up before the date of my exam, but i'm not so sure if i will be ready like REALLY.
and i've heard some said, KAPLAN is not enough alone. ( tho i find the books really good) so i'm thinking if i should do saunders too?
pls help.....should i reschedule? or stick with it n really try so hard, triple tym?
i think i enrolled in kaplan way too late! instead of their 3-4 months, i only have more than a month!
i havent tried reading saunders or answering questions...
pls help i don't know what to do for my exam!!
