When did you take your NCLEX?
Hi everyone, I finished my last clinical placement this past April and graduate this June (woohoo!!) but right now I cant decide on when I want to take my nclex or I guess when is the best time to do it.
A lot of my peers are scheduling it for this coming weeks and month to get it out of the way. Because of this I feel pressured to do the same however I don’t like cramming my studies or also having long hours of studying everyday. I would like to enjoy my summer (given that this is my last summer before I start working for the rest of my life lol) and I actually do like studying just not when it starts to feel like a chore (where i have to reach a certain amount of hours or question banks to call it a day). I have started studying, some days I do 8 hrs in a day, some days 5 hrs and some days a friend asks to hangout and I don’t study for the whole day.
My question is when did you take the nclex? Did you take it right away or did you just take it slow and how was your schedule like studying? I was thinking of maybe just taking it on the last week of September or October (I can have fun with my summer while still slowly studying content and then have 4 weeks in September where I just focus on studying without any distractions) or is this stupid and I should just focus studying now and get it over with?
