I have not been studying up until now. We did preceptorship and I was working so it was really hard to find time to start studying for NCLEX, I just registered for my exam and have 2 weeks to study. I have the DVD Hurst review and can watch the videos, but I don't want to waste any time. Should I focus on the content and/or watching the videos or do you think at this time I should just focus on doing questions? I was thinking about doing the NCSBN learning ext to do the questions on there that will give me a score to see how I'm doing.
Any advice is GREATLY appreciated!!

Two weeks is cutting it short unless you are one of those who did exceptionally well in school and have an excellent retention of the content. Most people take a minimum of three weeks, and some take months to prepare. Can not give much more advice than to condense a study schedule that consists of eight to ? hours a day of all the questions and rationales you can get your hands on. If you need extensive content study at this time, you should strongly consider rescheduling for a more reasonable time frame. Good luck.
