  3. How long before your NCLEX test date did you start studying?

    alcohol pads, Ipod touch, and stethoscope.
  11. How do you motivate yourself?

    Well, just look at this picture. I just tell myself this is where I'll end up if I don't graduate. Then I go straight back to my books.

    yes, we're all getting the same grade.
  21. What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    1) you need to study earlier than 3 days prior to an exam. 2) your patient may be an ass, but you still need to smile. 3) critical thinking is not optional 4) you need to expect anything and everything on the test 5) the grading scale is jacked up. ...

    It's unfortunate that you failed the class by only four points. But you're right, this is a good wake up call. I believe you'll be more prepared next semester.
