need advice, when to re-take!

[Mich2009]

hey guys

Im going on a trip to europe and will be returning back to NY on August31st. When do you think I should retake my NCLEX, a week later or two weeks later? Need advice!

My bf claims a week later not to keep stalling for time and my friend claims two weeks later to give me enough time to come back to normal time(since we have an 8 hour time difference) and enough time to get back into study mode..

Advice?

My advice is to take the 2 weeks. I went away the weekend before I tested and was exhausted that monday. I would have liked a little longer to allow myself to refocus. That being said I tested with 265 questions this past satuday and failed. If you are thinking 2 weeks go with your gut theres a reason its telling you that. :) Hope that helps and have a great time in Europe!

I think two weeks would be good because you do need time to refocus on getting rest and last min studying which makes a difference. Enjoy your trip and come back ready to focus for the nclex. Good luck!!!

Take it as soon as you are ready and comfortable. Wish you the best!!
