As I prepare for this exciting time in my life, I find myself feeling a mix of emotions. Anxious and nervous are two feelings that come to mind first. There is so much to do and it can feel overwhelming. I am most anxious about getting everything done in a timely manner to meet due dates and not fall behind. This includes applying for new grad programs. I know that staying organized will be a very important component to easing this anxiety. My weekly study goals will help me to stay organized and on track. Making SMART goals will aid me in achieving success. I want to study at least 2 hours a day every day until NCLEX to improve my test taking skills and content knowledge without burning myself out. I believe that once I have graduated I can increase the hours of study time per day leading up to NCLEX, but during the period of spring semester beginning with 2 hours is a good foundation.

The ATI Nurse Logic 2.0 Modules will support my success in the NCLEX exam because they taught me helpful test taking habits and strategies to think like a nurse during examination. I learned the importance of prioritizing as many nursing style questions are asking the priority action of the nurse. I am most excited for passing NCLEX and beginning my journey as an RN! I will celebrate with friends and family if it is safe to do so, but if not beginning my career will be a great way to celebrate.
