LVAD RN May 26, 2009 I know how you feel, so what I do now is 50 questions minimum so that I am still doing questions but if I start feeling exhausted then I take a break watch tv or call a friend and then I go back to it.Just continue doing questions but it is best to do a minimum amount of question and concentrate than to do a lot and not be focused. When did you graduate? Maybe you need a few days off.Maybe you should focus on your weak areas instead of doing a ton. Keep up the good work and in the end I am sure it will all work out. You will be happy you are well prepared :) 0 Likes

Studying since Jan is a long time and it may be you just need a break before the final push. 0 Likes

Silverdragon102, BSN Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC. Has 33 years experience. May 27, 2009 you can still afford to take a couple of days off even if 3 weeks away. even 24 hours rest will get your brain back in gear. carrying on studying when you say you already feel overwhelmed and over "stuffed" isn't going to help 0 Likes
