Hi... I jus took mine last Thursday....please note..I know How you feel....

last Thursday was my 3rd attempted...

I don't really know how your life run...how many hrs you can put in a day to study...

but you need to map out your study plan with reasonable goal...and follow it religiously...like if you have 5 hrs split time do content 1/2 and 1/2 Q's..build up your test taking strategy start from 50 Q's a day..at least you hit 3000 Q's b4 u take the test...and go over with the rationale in order to find out why is right and why you answer wrong..

I did hurst for content...did the live review for 3 days...after that I did 2 chapter a day (master it/say it out loud like you teaching somebody)and 50-100 Q's a day when I finish with content I did Q's only start with la charity delegation book (my weakness) since that book is Q's only I did 5 chapter a day which is 120-150 Q's I finished it 2 1/2 X's...3 wks before the test I signed up NCSBN 3 wks for 3 wks for Q's only I didn't utilize the content (for me hurst is enough),I finished in 2 wks I did up to 300 Q's a day (NCsBN have at least 1500 Q's).Last few days before the test I did Kaplan Q bank 7...I review my EKG,normal lab,infection control and 35 pages study guide 3X (in the beginning,middle and last day study) I say it to my self when I am driving,cooking dinner or even showering :))

utilized you tube if you need to understand something deeply..

at last pray...pray...pray... A lot!

i hope this is help...

let me know if I can be anymore help for you...

best of luck..

I agree, make a schedule. I do that, I made a schedule and wrote down the things I need to accomplish and at the end of the day I evaluate. I do Q&As everyday and I write the topic and my scores so I know if I'm making progress and identify my weakness. If you need content, HURST and Saunders can help. For Q&As they said KAPLAN is the best but you can utilized free resources online like nclex 3500 or 4000. You can customized them if you want to study per system. Also, PDA by La Charity. It's cheaper on evolve. Don't give up and don't lose hope! You can do this! :D Good luck! :D

I feel like I am in your shoes, as this is my third trial taking NCLEX-PN. I found that I was struggling in content. My suggestion if you do find yourself weak in content - I would recommend using Hurst. I'm currently using it right now to prepare and I love it! I also think it will help you critically think to answer questions. So far I feel like it is a very good investment. Good luck studying! :)
