1-1-13 starting to prepare for NCLEX ....Join me and lets encourage each other!

[BSN2biam]

I graduated in May 2012 with my BSN! I needed to get my two children on track with homeschool before I focused on NCLEX preparations. 6 months later and the time has come! I will formally begin preparing for NCLEX as of 1-1-13. With God's mercy I plan to conquer NCLEX sometime in February.

If you find yourself in the same predicament or similar...join me and lets motivate and encourage one another. I will post daily as to what I studied and how many hours I've studied for. Please feel free to add any tips or suggestions as to what is working or not working for you. Good luck and God Bless!

Sorry to hear about your grandpa gkbaby...sent you a study guide link in a private message. Guys...my NCLEX is TOMORROW:eek::nailbiting: I am trying to remain calm and tell myself I have been working hard for this for a very long time but I have to admit I am still SO NERVOUS! My fear is I will sit down and look at my first question and draw a blank to everything I know! Terrible, right?! UGHHH!

2 weeks till my NCLEX date and I have officially started studying for it. Did some Kaplan, Prep-U, and NCSBN questions. I haven't really started too much content review per say, but have the HESI-RN book for that.

Today was my first day of Hurst. Has anyone taken this before? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing except for attending the class for 3 days.

Have you watched day 4 & 5 yet? I haven't, was wondering what you thought of it if you did.

Hi everyone :) So as some of you know, I only had about 2.5 weeks to prep for this thing, so I focused mainly on the Question Trainers and reviewing my Saunders book. Thus far I have done okay (to my knowledge) on the Question Trainers, however as I'm now trying to do more of the Q Bank (since I only a few days left! eek!!) and I'm getting very worried because I only have a 66% overall in the Q Bank with about 21% (I think after tonight 300 total) questions completed. Is this not a good sign..I don't know what to do with my limited time and I feel like I'm running around like a panicked chicken. What have been your Q Bank scores...basically I swing between 64% at my lowest and 70% at my highest...I'm so frustrated to see that below 65% mark (twice now).

I'm in, I graduated in June 2012 and I need to pass this exam. I'm just waiting on the att but I know I need to find a way to build on content and getting used to picking the right answer. I graduated from a university in Puerto Rico so the testing style was a little different. Anything that I can learn here will be very appreciated, for I know that all we want is to be good nurses, and it starts by passing this exam. I'm glad to be aboard.
