Tips on how to create a schedule to study for the nclex rn for busy people

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

My schedule at work is random. 6am-3pm, 10-7 or 2-11; 35 hrs/week.

I want to pass the nclex rn, because I failed twice already. I got frustrated and now I feel like going back and try to retake it after 2 years. I know I'll need a remedial course, but that's irrelevant at this moment. The priority is passing the nclex and then the rest.

I have kaplan review (trainings 1-7) I started the 1st one and got 52% :(

I also have the fast facts lippincott small book. It's helping me to refresh my brain.

I think I might try uworld after I finish with kaplan. I've heard is a good review but one at the time. My plan is taking the nclex by January. I don't have an exact date yet, but I'd like to know how to create a decent schedule to study since I can't really quit my job or get less hours. Any tips or suggestions? Also, another question, what topic should I focus more to study (example renal, pharmacology, endocrine, maternity or etc...) I know they're all important but which one has more impact on nclex ?

Thanks in regards :)

I was reading Saunders book but I stopped mid way because I started doing Uworld. Uworld is great! I still have 700 questions to go. When I used Kaplan last time I couldn't get any SATA right but I was able to do it when I used Uworld.
