Taking nclex again!!! Review!!!

First off: Some tips.....

1. DO NOT REVIEW TOO MANY THINGS!!! (don't read like 10 different books, and do like 3 review courses, and like 20,000 questions) (OVERLOAD IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA!!!)

2. I recommend studying a max of 3-5 review items... (ex. 2 review books- 1 for content and one for questions, and 1 review course)...

3. my recommendations: saunders- content

: exam cram- questions

: lacharity priority and delegation book- priority (huge topic on nclex)

: ncsbn review ($50 for 3 weeks, and gives both content and questions and is like the real nclex)

4. everyday please take at least a 30 minute break after 2-3 hours of studying to cool down, and do something you like... "energizer bunny needs a break too"... ( this will be a great way to get rid of nerves, and anxiety, and re-energize yourself for a better study session)...

I hope all these tips will help somebody pass nclex...
