Having confidence in yourself and in your knowledge and skills, is the half the battle. I just took the NCLEX RN for the first time 7/11/08 and passed. You know the material, you've seen it somewhere before. Always go with your "gut" feeling (usually the first answer you choose!). I took Kaplan and that really helped me a lot. Also, Kaplan makes these medication flash cards that are really good, I think they cost about $30 and you can get them at Barnes and Noble. The box has 300 meds in it--it's pretty useful! Try to answer questions everyday. Many of my questions were mcg/kg/min problems, medications, and prioritizing! I would say about 70% of the NCLEX I took had those 3 components. You need to get enough rest and just study a little everyday. I know that having a family and being a parent is a 24/7 job, but you need to make time for yourself. Last thing I can tell you is to relax. Do something for yourself: a mani/pedi, new outfit, watch a movie, or take a bath. You have 1 million times to take the test. Just have confidence! Good Luck and keep me posted!

I see that someone others took kaplan just so they felt stupid, like i did! I have been starting to ask myself what the heck have been doing for the past 4 years!? Taking NCLEX on Friday 7/11 and officially having sinus tachycardia from it! :redbeathe
