CONGRATS JLForever!!! wow your baby will be very smart since you were studying hard while you have her! I wish you the best and thank you for giving us advice...tremedous help there! However, I want to ask you so from doing qbank and studying rationales, was that the most helpful tool for you in passing Nclex? Watching video can be very time consuming if person is running out of time

I could not wait and is pretty broke so I went to the bookstore to purchase Hurst review book. I am amaze of how good she wrote, "right to the point with sense of humor," unlike those long thick books that I could barely stay awake while reading it. I was depressed after failing Nclex I cannot afford to fail again seriously. Have you tried her book that is sold in store, is there a big difference(b/t online & book in store) because while reading, I feel as if she is lecturing as well! I will keep you in my prayers! Hope you will get news soon!

Can anybody out there share your experience with Hurst review vs. kaplan review online? Im dying to know because I try to figure out which one can break down things more simplier and easy to understand before I go ahead and purchase it. Please advice!

Greetings to acissej & feliz3, I think it is just a small misunderstanding we are having and please don't stress over it as yet we have nclex to stress about. You two are both caring and awsome people that only want to help me out by giving some pointers which seem very beneficial to my understanding! We are all working hard to accomplish our goals and studying for Nclex is not easy! We are all in this 2gether so let's help one another achieve those goals and put other stuff behind!! Now let me some smiley faces.....:D:D:hrnsmlys:

hello acissej, Thanks for your advice and support! It seems already been working pretty good for me as of today by change things around to keep myself awake! Read Saunders, then "facts throwing,"some kaplan, then review notes, eat small portion at a time, short breaks with tv,text,phone,(use my lil back massager ). Best of all, think of what I can do if I pass and all the good reasons why I should not give up even if it might take me longer than the next person!! hi Feliz3, Thanks for your advice also, I know you mean well! Yes good point about finding out what will interest me and keep me up and going and that is the great way to help me get close to my goals in much better way possible!

thanks Feliz3 for your advice. So did you do the contents' video with kaplan?Im curious if I should just skip it. I also, myself have learning disability, it is very hard for me to retain information and keep it in my head! Saunder is actually good book since Nclex is base on alot of contents(except critical quest. fr qbank) and Suzzane is using it for her plan, something must be right! I find this random facts throwing really help me to retain the information better!!Thank you everybody that been contributing!!!God Bless!!:redbeathe:redbeathe:redbeathe

I totally agree! Excellent note!Hi Feliz! I read one of your notes, you said you tried kaplan 3x. Did you go into the video or just question trainner, qbank, textbook, and live class. Has the Saunder been helping alot more better? Im not sure if I should just focus one book Saunder, I keep falling asleep reading the book.

I will pray for you too! Wow its getting close huh? I want to test soon too..hopefully I only ask God for Xmas that all I want is to pass this test and find a job!!Let this be the Christmas gift for us!!halluyah

I thank you "msrashendaw" for lifting my spirit! It means so much to me..You are such an Angel!!...I will remember your prayer when I go and take the test again! I did prayed really hard before, during, and after test but I guess my anxiety (devil) took over. Its a shame but I know I have to find a way to fight my fear otherwise I'll be in trouble again. Good luck to you too! When are you taking your test?

Please include me in your prayers! When I get anxienty and panic attack..I blank out as if Im having "typical absence" seizure with amnesia and whoop...there goes my chance and hard work of studying!!!its very depressing!!:imbar:cry::cry:
