[christvs, DNP, RN, NP]

Hello everyone! Just wanted to ask you guys how you're staying motivated to keep studying for NCLEX even when you totally do NOT feel like it at all. :uhoh21: I have been in a bit of a slump for the past two days cuz I'm so TIRED of doing questions and reviewing! Any advice from anyone on how to keep both sane and stick to your studying schedule? Thanks!

hi christine, i tell myself there's plenty of time for me to rest as soon as i finish this questions.. will take a nice meal afterwards.. or will watch a movie with my husband. it's a reward thing for me.

i have been in a bit of a slump for the past two days cuz i'm so tired of doing questions and reviewing!

it's a normal feeling. sometimes i feel nauseated and like to scream at the top of my lungs!!! so loud that everyone at home could hear me.. (but ofcourse it's only in my mind..:chuckle ) each time i feel that way, i'll go to the kitchen, get some cold water or cookies to munch or go to the garden and play with my adorable dogs..

any advice from anyone on how to keep both sane and stick to your studying schedule? thanks!

i'm always visiting this site for tips/encouragement. there's a thread here that started by rain,"how to stay positive".. something like that.. and on my experience, i made a monthly calendar and wrote there the subjects/topic/practice questions i need to accomplish for the day. also, i have a reminder to my pda and it's a great help.

hope this help.

wishing you good health and positive result on your exam...
