Taking the nclex in November

adrasteia · Oct 6, 2015

I'm taking it in November too and I'm so nervous! I've basically allowed myself 7 weeks to prepare and I just finished NCSBN's 3 week review so I'm now left with 4 weeks. For the next month I'll be reading PDA by Lacharity and doing 75-100 questions a day and reviewing the rationales and looking up content that I'm still unsure of. I don't want to over-exert myself by doing more than 100 because my brain will die and I want to make sure I understand the rationales. I also wrote down lab values and common mneumonics on poster papers and pasted them around my room so I look at them a lot and eventually cement them in my memory.

Hopefully all this studying will work. Good luck to us!

My school offers free review so I watched all of the videos since I can't attend the actual class, and I've been studying all of the study packets that they offer. I even recorded my self reading my notes and I listen to it while driving to work and back. I've also been doing questions from Saunders and lipincot. I've done kaplan practice questions @ school and scored well, but it scares me because when I do practice questions at home Iam not scoring so high. Iam trying to get a hold of the Kaplan pn strategies 2015 book. I hope I can find it very soon I heard it's been a big help to many.

Good luck and let's keep studying
