Hello everyone, I graduated from school 12/11/08, and I am taking my nclex-pn in about 2 weeks. I initially was doing Suzanne's plan, but I am working a full time job & I honestly don't always get to do 100 questions a day so I am not following that program to the T. I was a good B average student in school, just wondering how I should be studying in the next two weeks I was thinking about pulling out all my nursing power points from school & going through those again, since graduation I've only used Saunders book & cd rom. Honestly I don't feel ready & I have switched my test date so many times I am terrified about taking this test, but at the same time I just want to get it over with. Just want some advice as to what last minute type of things should I look over without it being overkill. Thanks in advance!!!

In my opinion, cramming is the worst thing that you can do with this exam.
I am not trying to cram I have been studying since before I even graduated just wondering what other material I should look at prior to the test date instead of just the Nclex book that I have been using.
I always recommend that someone use only one book, otherwise you readily stand the chance of getting more confused as the rationales will be very different.
Have seen wonderful results with just the one Saunder's book provided that it is used properly.
Best of luck on your exam.
