Dedicate yourself to taking on a set amount of NCLEX style questions a day. Also work yourself up to the 265 amount because IF you do go all the way it is good to practice so you won't be worn out, you will be used to that many questions. Also…

Graduating class 2009

I just graduated from UTMB, class 2009! It was a very intense yet very rewarding experience. I elected to have my sister pin me because of her influence on me to become a nurse. I parted with many friends leaving for Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and joining Army nursing corps. I am relieved but now anticipating the NCLEX! I am reviewing with several classes and books. Any tips for me as I prepare for NCLEX?
