Hi all, I posted an earlier thread, and thank you so much for the nice responses and for signing my sons guestbook....will send personal responses to all of you... I grad. Dec/05, I am just looking for any tips at all. I have Saunders Comprehensive review, and of course all of my books and stuff. Should I get anything else you think? And also, I hope this is okay to ask, I know I would pass now, if it wasn't for specific med questions. I have such a hard time memorizing all the names and ranges and stuff. How thoroughly should I review meds, does it seem to be a major, major part of the test? I would be okay w/ adverse effects for different classes. But as far as saying "this specific drug may cause..." I don't have the memory to memorize all the names!!! Thanks in advance for the help :) Emilie

Hi guys, as much as I have to say, I will make this short and sweet. I graduated in Dec. of 05 from the Practical Nursing program at U of Alaska. My husband was discharged from the army, we moved from Alaska to Michigan, I was pregnant and delivered our third baby boy, and this is the hard part....he died of SIDS in September. With everything that happened last year, I just never got a chance to take my NCLEX....and to put it bluntly I am feeling like I never would pass even if I tried. This is something I have to do to benefit my family and myself. I need to do what I set out to do, and feel like I have a purpose after the loss of my precious son Logan. I have the Saunders comprehensive NCLEX review, and the Kaplan review and all of my school stuff and all that. I just don't know what the heck to focus on!!! I am so scared that that whole year of school is down the drain, because I am so overwhelmed, thinking there is no way possible I could pass. Please, any suggestions, advice, encouragement is needed. As you can see, I am trying to pull myself up by my bootstraps, and I would love some help........... Lots of love, Emilie
