Your study habits

How do you study for a nursing exam? I just got into nursing, Im proceeding to read the whole read and other books recommended to me.

I was wondering how the exams are. What is the --key-- to studying nursing? I mean is it doing enough of those nclex problems and reading the book? is it memorizing? I mean if I finish 3 different nclex books and review it every week would that help me? how do I develop my critical thinking?

I have the time, Im still young (20). I am very motivated, I still have the stamina.

Do you have any books that you can recommend to me? is there any program/book that develops your critical thinking?

if you are referring to studying for classroom exams, most of the content is in NCLEX format (it was at my school). I have friends in various states and friends in my homestate that have graduated from different nursing programs, the exams are basically the same format. You really, really, really need to use your time wisely. I was fortunate to have the time for study, as well. One thing that I DID NOT do was "learn" how to take NCLEX style tests. What I mean is, review the type of format (NCLEX style questions) before your first classroom exam. There are books, i dont know the names, designed to enhance your critical thinking and test taking skills. I had one that was produced by lippincott or saunders...not sure which..that was specific for critical thinking. it helped me tons!! Of course, sometimes it comes with practice taking certain styled tests, But...I have SEVERE test anxiety and was mortified of tests anyway.I was MUCH more relaxed when test rolled around after reading the critical thinking and how to take tests books. I really don't think i would have passed boards :yeah: if it weren't for this!! I knew the material...my brain got in the way!!:confused:

I hope this may answer any questions...GOOD LUCK!!:)
