Hi. Im here looking for advice and encouragement I guess. I graduated school almost 5 years ago to be an RN. I attempted my NCLEX once the first year and failed and became completely discouraged. After going through many personal things and stupidly putting my goals on the back burner, I am starting back up now. I want to finish what I started so bad. I try to study on and off but to focus after being out for so long is very hard. I am now disciplining myself to start studying even a few hours a day. I need to get this done this year. Has anyone waited this long to take the NCLEX? What are some ways you study and what helps you retain the info after being out of the game this long?
