Need Advice please

Published

Hello All, I recently had a crisis in my home. I will be attempting the NCLEX RN a second time at the end of this month. As some of you might know, I took my first exam last August and failed. I know I should not have waited this long to retake it. I was completely stressed and depressed after my first attempt; I did not have any energy to study. I started studying in October to retake it again. I managed to do over 1,777 questions, but I stopped studying. I am restudying for this test, but my current situating is making it hard for me to focus. I really need this, and failing is not an option for me this time. My test date is scheduled for June the 30th. I put together a study plan. Please tell me what you think. I am redoing the Health promotion & maintenance and Management section on the Davis CD. I finished these two sections in Oct, so I am going back through them. They were also my two below passing areas on my results. Everything else was near passing and one above passing. Thanks for your help!

Here is my study plan:

1. Complete questions on the Davis CD

2.Read one chapter a day in the Hurst book

3. Read that same chapter in the Exam Cram book

4.Complete the same section in Lacharity

5.Read the Random fact file

Things I might do daily or every other day:

1.Study lab values

2.Study Drug classes

3.Go over infection control

4.Go over positioning and developmental stages

5.Cultural stuff

6.Pics. EKGs, etc

During the last six days:

1.Read the Kaplan strategy book

2.Review notes

3. Do the questions on the Kaplan CD, Exam Cram 250 question, and Davis 265 comprehensive test.

Best of luck to you and you can do it!!! All I did to study for mine was Kaplan stuff. I also took it a month after I graduated and so things were still pretty fresh in my mind. I loved Kaplan. Your study plan looks very good, but make sure that you stick with it. You can do this!!!! Best of luck.....
