Working full-time with 10 months old baby studying NCLEX

[Ariana30]

Hello, I need your advice and recommendations. I'm sad and frustrated because I failed my NCLEX exam the other day. I've been studying but maybe it wasn't just enough. I am working full-time,noc shift in skilled nursing facility and I have 10 months old baby to take care when I get home. I was studying like at least 3hrs a day when baby wad sleeping but sometimes  I got so tired and I just wanted to sleep. I use UWorld,75q daily but didn't get the chance to read every rationales. I watched a lot of Youtube vedios as well.I barely get sleep, 3hrs a day is a good enough for me. I don't know, I don't want to wait til my baby turn 3y.o or so.  I'm thinking of trying the exam again in 45days. Please help me and share some tips. I can't afford to quit my job, I have plenty of bills to pay. Thank you.

If you’re only getting three hours of not enough studying, I’m afraid you’ll end up failing again. You need your study time. 

Is it possible to take out a small loan to pay your rent and limit your working hours so you can dedicate time to studying?

My two cents and you can take it or leave it.  I’m simply did 150 questions a day.  That’s it.  You truly just need to be doing questions and not long study sessions.  NCLEX is just a test to see if you are minimally safe to practice.  You need to answer each question like what is the safest thing to do as each hospital has their own protocols on how to actually do things.  Don’t look too far into things as that is where you are going to get messed up.  Just do your questions and take it again.
