Please HELP! I need a study plan!!!

I am hoping to get some help from you guys. I have failed a few times and I need some motivation to get back onto my feet to study. I am working now as a nursing assistant and I hate it!!! I need to start studying again but don't know where to even start because I have been so discouraged lately. I have not got much support from my friends or family. I have tons of NCLEX books and tons of CD's of questions. I have done Kaplan and Hurst reviews. I also have the Lacharity book also. I just need to know how many hours of day I should study and how many questions I should do. I need a study plan to get started. I just feel all alone in this matter of passing NCLEX. I appreciate all your responses and help!

    You are not alone, I failed my first attempt. At the moment Im studying content and doing at least 100 questions everyday. I have the Saunders for content review which I love. I also have the LaCharity and exam cram for questions and have received great resources from this site. I study 2-3 hours a day, review everything because the test is different everytime, but make sure you know your endocrine system, respiratory, GI and infection control, airborne, droplet, contact etc:. Start out brand new with your studying and you will be a nurse one day,never give up.

    Oh and if you are like me I hate reading the rationales for the questions, but Im changing that, I read every rationale and the next time I see a similar question I usually get it right. READ THE RATIONALES.

    You are not alone, theres a lot of others in the same situation as you, you will get a lot of support here. Good luck on your stuyding

    Just get a calendar and map out a rough plan for three weeks to three months of work. I would not study for more than four hours a day since you have a job, but if you want to work at it six or two hours, up to you. I would dig out the Saunders book and start with chapter one. Just stop stressing over the process. Instead start over and study as if you had never tested before. Good luck.
