Okay, first let me say that I rarely offer comments on this site. I know that sounds selfish and now that my boards are done I will try to finally "share" with everyone what has helped me. The NCLEX exam is truly like no other. It was difficult, but obviously do-able. What helped me was really simple.....LET GO OF REVIEWING CONTENT! At some point you have to call it a day and simply run questions. Honestly I did about 2500 and reviewed all rationales. That's really the trick. I had Kaplan, Saunders, Lippincott and Meds Pub (Overload!) What it came down to was not making stupid mistakes by reading to quickly and doing as many questions as possible. BIG NOTE....don't do any questions the day before test. Good Luck, You Can do this!!!

Just a thought - as a 39 year old mother of 4, starting a two year RN program - I just wanted to let you know how valuable your thoughts and perspective are. Those of us who chose a career change around 40 truly appreciate your candor as well as your "success" story. It's very encouraging to know some people actually make it!!!
