If you are taking NCLEX in October as I am here is a place to get motivated. As of today you have approximately 4-8 weeks to prepare for this life changing test. That is more than enough time if you haven't started yet.
Now crack open whatever review book you have and hit it because now is the time to begin. Start typing :typing those review sheets, looking over rationales start with the stuff you know you need help with and feel like because by the end of your study time you'll be up to the stuff you do know and you'll hopefully feel more comfortable at test time... or maybe you won't.
Anybody else motivating tips, or study tips for NCLEX
Took it on Oct. 2 and I just learned last night that I passed! Yahoooo!
I used LaCharity, Kaplan, ExamCram and NCLEX 3500. At first I was just revising content but after seeing some posts here, I took to practicing questions on my last 2 weeks, alternating LaCharity, 3500 and Kaplan.

Well, tomorrow is the big day...10AM...2nd time around. I did the Feuer Nursing Review in NYC and I thought it was great. The professors that spoke were amazing, very engaging and explained things wonderfully. I did not take a review course the first time around because I thought I could do without it, but after failing the first time, I understood that I needed a content review. I graduated in May and naturally if you're out of practice and don't study like we all did in nursing school, you forget things. Thier pharmacology review is amazing. I did fine in pharm at school but this review really helped me understand meds a lot more rather than just memorizing them. It was so good, I was having dreams last night about beta-blockers masking signs of hypoglycemia and ace-inhibitors causing you to cough. They give you a lot of questions that def resemble the NCLEX and a additional 200 questions on a CD. I did a total of 1600 questions with them. I also did LaCharity because I had the book from my school (amazing book). I did the Kaplan book my first time around and it didn't really help the first time around, but I looked it over for some tips this time around. Then three weeks ago, I got the NCSBN questions, which are exactly like the NCLEX questions and it's the same format. THe lessons are a great quick review. THey have a bunch of questions and interactive exercises which were helpful. All in all, I'm more confident about this time around and am hoping and praying that by the end of tomorrow I will be an RN. So please pray for me!

Will be praying for you! I learned from Hurst review that you shouldn't give beta-blockers to people with diabetes and asthma which I never knew! Sounds like you have prepared VERY well!
I have been studying everyday and do between 50-100 questions a day [which I have been doing almost 3 months with only 2-3 weeks with a break]. I am getting ready to do more questions. I am not too nervous, but I have been praying a lot for my nerves to settle. How are you?
because by the end of your study time you'll be up to the stuff you do know and you'll hopefully feel more comfortable at test time... or maybe you won't.
