After that come back and formalize a game plan. My plan this time included redoing Kaplan and adding Saunders and LeCharity to the mix. I also found a few review sheets on this section that I've added into game plan.You can do it. Don't beat yourself up. Pick yourself up and brush yourself off and continue.

Have a break for a while atleast 3-5days. When you feel your well and ready. Do some itenerary or daily schedule. like ex. 6am-9:30am 100 items test(cd/computer base) 1.5h on answering it and 2h on review of answers and rationale. 9:30break/30mins( normally you'll gonna eat, do some your normal daily routine stuff but this time your priority routine is on your study) 10am-1pm study on specific topic/schedule topic (lets say you have a time frame for medsurg for 2weeks do it here) 1pm break/30mins. 1:30pm-4:30pm 75/100items 1.5h test and 1.5h review of answers&rationale 4:30pm break/30mins, 5pm-8pm review of specific topic/ let say integrated infection control, foundation nursing topics. 8pm -up end of review. I am sorry but this is only an example and applicable for those non working. Alright! Just dont give up! Have faith!
