I too hope that we will pass and become awesome RNs February 2013!!!! I'm doing the Kaplan 5 week study plan. I started jan 1st. I do 100 qbank questions daily, read each rationale and review any content or disease process I'm unsure of. I've also started to review the study guide that floating around. And I study 5 out of 7 days. I have qtrainers 6 and 7 left to do and the sample questions. I have like 200 qbank questions left but my plan is to go through all of the incorrect questions again.

don't be scared you can do it! you said you have the knowledge of the content all you have to do now is practice how to apply the knowledge. the best thing to do in my opinion is use strategy (ABC, safety, physical vs psychosocial, stable vs unstable, acute vs chronic)! For instance who would you see first? pt c/o of pain. pt short of breath. pt who is vomitting. pt who is depressed.
