You may believe that you do not remember anything that you learned in nursing school. Have faith in yourself and stop going back to the content review. You really will not remember every single detail and it is time to accept that.
Right now is the perfect time to practice questions over and over. Pick what material would be best for you and gain some confidence!
I also highly recommend finding a great app for your phone, especially if you like to procrastinate and play Candy Crush! Now you will have a new app to get addicted to. Consider it as a trivia game and get the highest score possible! Tell your friends to purchase the same app and see who can get the higher score.
