Hey guys,

I am so grateful for all the assistance and encouragement ppl give to each other on here. I use it as my daily motivation to study hard. My Nclex is in middle July and I am overwhelmed already with sooo much information. I feel like my brain will like crash that day and everything i have been studying will get mixed up.. I'm using Saunders, Lacharity, Kaplan book, allnurses, and most of all God is on my side. I do not know how to contain all the information, mnemonics, charts, labs...etc... I do tons of practice questions and will continue to do so. I guess I just need strategies on how to relax and be able to accurately retain and apply all this info on "the day". Do I grab a paper and write what's in my head (ex. mrs. wee, labs, hypo this, hyper that) before I start the exam??? I am already getting tachycardia and diaphoreses from reading everybody's posts about NCLEX hahaha. Good luck everybody. :heartbeat

The biggest think I had found to help is to let your brain rest. Take a little time off you don't want to drive yourself crazy. If it's in the middle of July, take a week off, then get back at it.

As my uncle says, "Worrying is like paying on a debt you may never owe!" Good Luck!!

Thank you guys..

Sirius14..I can do a day or two of rest, but a whole week of chilling will turn into 2 weeks if I don't stay on top of it..lol. :)

Good to know yourself! lol Maybe try a day or two a week then, but don't burn yourself out. Is this your first time taking the NCLEX?

I wrote down stuff, as you said, on the provided white board. It was helpful.
