Welcome to the site

Practice as many questions as you can and make sure you understand the rationale to the ones you get wrong. Only you can decide how much time you can spend daily studying.

I would also suggest checking out the International forum as you are affected by retrogression and currently looking at over 5 years before getting work visa. Also which BON are you with? as again may have some issues ie if Ca you will not get your results for over 4 weeks and need to provide a SSN before they will issue you with a license and you can't get that until you are in the US with a valid work visa and they will cancel your file after 3 years. Again much is written in the International forum so strongly recommend a good read in there

Hello everyone. I need help. I only have remaining 7 weeks before my NCLEX exam. I graduated batch 2006 and after that i havent work in th e hospital until now. for the past few months, i dont have any motivation to review and i can't concentrate when im holding the book already because of distractions around me. can u give me some advice on how many hours per day do i have to study or how many questions per day do i have to answer? and what motivations did you use to stick to reviewing. thanks a lot. :w00t:

hi der well it seems that ure very nervous....hehehe well the motivation that i used to stick on to my reviewing is the receipts of what i've paid on the duration of my review period that has something to do with my review/processing.i just said to myself that i really need to pass this exam coz its too expensive that i do not have enough money to retake...with 7 weeks well you can focus on short review rather that reading long lectures plus practice exam helps a lot and please read the rationales(saunders and lippincot)..and most of all pray and claim it that you can surpass this exam with flying colors good luck...

thank you so much for the advice, yes I can beat the exam. yahhhhooo! need lots of positive attitude,hehehe.:cheers:

Thread moved to the NCLEX Forum since it is specific to that exam, and not directly related to something in the Philippines.

ok, thanks a lot. can you give some advice on how to utilize the remaining 7 weeks? thanks:cheers:

merged the 2 threads together for continuity

why only weeks? if you are not confident enough you should have given yourself more time.

anyway, like you im preparing for the nclex too. and yes it is so hard to jump start my self to review, what i did was to find inspiration, and sure enough i found them on the first pages of the saunders comprehensive review book.

i listed my long term and short term goals, i made a daily schedule and log everything i do during the day. for me it has worked. i hope it will work for you though.
