i know how you feel...i'm not just being theraputic here but really, that's how i felt when i finished the book... what i did was i made some notes which makes it handy for me to browse when i feel the need to review (which is most of the time!!!)... and on items that i got wrong when i did the chapter test....
nobody has a photographic memory (if there are, hats off to you!!!)...you can do this! just go with your timetable , if you're finished with the book, go ahead with the CD and so on....
keep the faith! will keep you in my prayers. God bless....

What timetable are you speaking of? I am going to be graduating in June and want to begin studying for the BIG test.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, by the way, I use the Saunders book too for studying for the exams in school.

Sort of. I just graduated in March, and took a review course, and they recommended Saunders. I have Mosby and Delmar's also, which I used in school. Saunders is very detailed, and what I have been doing is reading the chapters and then answering the questions, then reviewing, especially the wrong ones. And, I have the Saunders book just loaded with questions. I feel like I am seeing all of this information for the first time. What a messy feeling...

Hi AmyD,
It's Geena. I am following Suzannes recommendations and have finished with Saunders - now in the questions phase. I am doing 100/ day. Every time I encounter a situation I am not able to solve, a Q, I will add it to my database of issues to r/v. I am making index cards of all the new drugs and lab values. Needless to say I have 'a few' index cards...
When are you planning to sit the exam?

Where would I find Suzanne's recommendations that everyone is talking about? If you could just direct me to the post I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Hello Kalico,
Look for the stickies on this NCLEX forum - I have found it very helpful!
