I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother and divorce. The best material is Saunders Comprehensive Review and Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment NCLEX review book (it has a bunch of questions on leadership type material). Togther, both books cost about 100 dollars (Saunders 60 something and PDA 30 something).

As far as studying, I made myself a study plan and really tried to stick with it. I am for the most part, but I rearrange stuff if I can't get through it or I just get tired of looking at a certain material and need a change of pace. I try and study everyday, even if it's just questions. The day before the test, I am just going to take a break and not look at anything. Get some rest and eat a good breakfast.
