New grad.... Overwhelmed... Exhausted.... Boards in 1 Week!

[KYTinaMarie]

Hi there!

First let me say this is my first thread but through the last three years of nursing school I have read several threads that answered questions I had. So thanks to all of you that ask questions and even more to those who answer them!

I have done Kaplan and I'm doing Kaplan questions online but I still don't feel prepared. I take boards on June 3 (a week from today) and start my new job in CCU June 8th. Oh and my kids last day of school is June 4th.

I can't seem to get focused. I know how hard I've worked to get to this point and how much my family has sacrificed so I could go to school but I just can't seem to get it toegether. I thought things would get easier after school was done but life happens.

And as you can tell I'm extremely overwhelmed.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tina

took my boards today--it shut off at 75 questions, so i'm hoping that that's a good thing. they were freakin' hard!!! i swear, i felt emotionally and intellectually battered after that. blech!
