I totally understand where ur coming from...here is a poem that I picked up at the Students Nurses Association yearly conference in Nashville... Neglected Children Author unknown (but had to be a Nursing student!) Our home is seldom very clean The meals are not as good And we don't take a bath, As we ordinarily would. The hamper is overflowing, The ironing is seldom done, And the socks that were neatly in the drawer, Are practically down to none. She was a model mother, The house was shiny and bright, She was so even-tempered, And a perfect "guiding light". But all that now has changed, Dust "beneath the bed does pool", Where is that wonderful mother? Why Mother goes to school! She has no time for cleaning, We kids must do our best, We're having eggs for dinner, Cause Mom is having a test! She got a terrible longing, A nurse she wanted to be, So she nagged our dad for tuition And the poor guy had to agree! So every morning she packs her books And walks out of the door, We'd like to try and stop her, But we're sticking to the floor! We take our vitamins and drink our juice, Cause it would be terribly cruel, If we caught a cold and fever And Mother couldn't go to school! So if you're in the hospital, And on your back you lie If you happen to see a student nurse Tell Mom we all said - Hi! Hope u enjoyed it as much as I did...:redbeathe

I just made it to my third semester. I know that in my school they give us unit objectives, or outlines of the materials covered for that wxam. Take those and answer them in detail, plus what also helped me was going to the college library and looking through all the RN-NCLEX books for test questions pertaining to the material we were covering and getting a sense of how their questions were going to be writted. Not only will it help you for your tests in school, but it will also help you get a head start on preparing you for the NCLEX. Doing this has gotten me as far as I have.....Try it....Let me know if this helps. dchris RN SN
