I just scheduled my exam awhile ago and finally taking it this September 15, 2008.
I was looking for the September 2008 Support Group and found their is none in existence so i figured to start one.
I am currently on Saunder's 4th Ed. and some other references like, Exam Cram, Illustrated Study Guide for the NCLEX-RN Exam, Prioritization, Delegation Assignment by Linda LaCharity and other Q and A books by Saunder's and Mosby.
But i am focusing more on Saunder's, i just like to have other references to understand topics which i am weak in.
I wasn't a very good student before or wasn't that much focus with my studies while in school. That's why i am very anxious now with my upcoming exam.
Now I am giving my best in my review and hoping and praying that i may pass it on the first try.
I really want and dreampt of becoming an RN and finally i am a test closer to becoming one.
I tried to get the suzzanne 4 plan but I think its too late now for me. I read the all the chapters in sauders and doing the cd. Is there anyway someone can tell me what the second, third and forth step is with the suzzanne plan. Just curious.

Her plan is copyrighted and I think it states it in the rules that it is not to be shared.... I have read that in several posts and threads.....
I'm just heading into my last semester and finishing the Saunder's first step so that I can have access to her plan once I have a test date.... But it is my understanding that they are very strick rules and you need at least 45 days to complete the remainder steps. (I could be wrong about the 45 days, but I thought I had read that once when I looked up the rules). I hope this helps and best of luck on NCLEX. I will keep of you you Sept. in my prayers!
FYI: Stumbled across you forum when looking for ERI exit exam advise- we have to pass at nat. avg to graduate.... first attempt (get three tries) will be offered 10/6....include me in your prayers also!
I'm doing the NCLEX review by the NCSBN on learningext.com, they actually intermix word jumbles into the sections your studying. Since i'm not to good at word jumbles without hints (and the hints aren't really helpful imo lol), it does me no good.
I'm still working on a way to actually remember the common classes of drugs. I'm doing questions, I'm just NOT doing it every single day. I know myself, I'll srive myself nuts doing this every day. I do every other and set 2-3 hour blocks of time. Otherwise I can easily spend all day on the computer and not learn a darn thing.
Have you read some of the stuff on "Random Fact Throwing" on the sticky? They have lots of helpful info., neumonics, questions that need solving...ect. I go on a lot and add or read stuffs. Check it out.
