Yes!! I'll send this to you tonight! As for how I'm studying, I am taking my first assessment tomorrow (2 weeks before my test), and I'm taking the second assessment a week from then, which ends up being one week before my test. I've dedicated every day to studying specific topics/body systems. This week I have two days of studying psych, two days of pediatrics, and two days of maternity. After my second assessment, I'm just gonna bang out as many questions as I can. My UWorld should be all used up by then, but I'm going to just redo some that I have flagged/got wrong; I also have two books of questions, and I'll look into another test bank if anything. NCLEX Mastery has an NCLEX simulator for $15 I believe which looks appealing.

I'm considering getting the PDA book for the last couple of weeks of studying, but I haven't decided yet. Do you recommend it? Send some of that confidence my way haha. I feel like I'm never gonna be prepared to my standards! Good luck!!

I'm also working full time while studying for this thing, so I feel you! I'm taking my first UWorld predictor tomorrow, and the second one a week from tomorrow. My school didn't give us a Kaplan book, but they did give us an ATI book, and I dabble in that a bit, though I primarily use Saunders. It feels like I'm gonna be stressed for the rest of my life lol, but we got this!!

Best of luck to you!!! I'm the same exact way, I didn't want to wait too long to take mine, but I also didn't want to take it too soon, either (that made me equally anxious lol). June 11th is exactly one month from my graduation day, and also my anniversary of graduating from high school, so I thought it was a somewhat significant day haha. Doing so well on ATI is awesome!! Good for you! I struggled with ATI through school although I attribute that in part to it being notoriously a pain, and nobody really cared for it. I actually haven't utilized the virtual ATI all that much, but I've heard that a) it's not that great, and sometimes your assigned person isn't super helpful, and b) it's much harder than the NCLEX itself, which isn't such a bad thing, but I don't want to overwhelm or discourage myself either. It sounds that it has really helped you though, so I may take some time to look into it more! All in all, it sounds like you are very prepared, and I think you're gonna kill it! Enjoy your weekend, and go in there knowing you are gonna kick its butt! Good luck, and I look forward to seeing that celebratory post!

Hey all! First off, congrats to everyone who graduated this year (and those who graduated in any previous year)!!! My day was May 11th, and it still feels so surreal. Also unreal. Probably because I'm busting my butt studying for this crazy NCLEX thing that's looming on the horizon! In that regard, it feels like nothing has changed haha. I scheduled my NCLEX for mid-June, because everything else that was available felt too late or too early, and I'm still feeling skeptical about the day I chose. But it's definitely motivated me to keep a decent study schedule going. And if anything, like if I feel super unprepared, I can always reschedule to a later date, but I'm trying to avoid this. I've been using UWorld, trying to do at least 50 questions a day, and then doing questions/reviewing Saunders on 3 specific systems a day, just to brush up on it. I also plan to start utilizing Mark Klimek's audios when I find time to sit and listen. The week before the NCLEX, once my review of systems is (hopefully) complete, I will do at least 150 questions a day. Then, like many others, I will not study at all the day before the exam, and Monday, June 11th is the big day! That being said, I saw a bunch of other threads for people who were taking the NCLEX during a specific month, so I thought I'd go ahead and do the same for the month of June! I like the idea of us building each other up, supporting each, crying to each other, offering insight or advice or tips that we may know... the list goes on. Anybody taking the NCLEX in the month of June, or even early July? Anybody freaking out like me??? "RN" is so close I can almost taste it! Ahhhhhh!

"Ohhh, you needed the patient's labs..."

"Sorry ma'am, we can't let the dog in here. Labor is already rough, let's not make it any ruffer."

"We're very busy in here. Please stop hounding us."

"Oh... I thought she asked for a pawternity test."
