Hi, I will be taking my boards in August as well, I'm waiting on my Att number but should get it soon. I'm doing Hurst online and reading Reviews and Rationales for Nclex. Do you think that is enough?? I do not want to stress myself out. I'm afraid I waited to long to test, I graduated in May with my A.D.N.

It depends,sometimes 0 sometimes 400-500 per day:))) I know I'm nuts but this is how I passed Hesi:))

I dont think you did a "bad" thing by waiting few months to take the NCLEX,I think it is good to take some time off relax,then take a review and study at home...you cant possibly remeber everything that you learned for the past two years in school...that is the reason why the reviews were created.
good for you, i like your motivation and all your hard work and effort will pay off. Im sure you will pass. :)
Just pray for me too, as this will be my second time taking it.

I took NCLEX one month after graduation, and about a week or so after taking Kaplan, which I hated. But I passed NCLEX. I did the q-bank questions everyday for the week or so before the test and did probably 200 questions a day, by the end did 88% of all the available questions, I don't think they were too similiar to the ones on NCLEX, but I passed with 89 questions and guess it worked enough. Goodluck to all!

Well what is your plan to be succesful the second time around?
