00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,880
Let's talk about 5 hacks that 
you need in your daily life 

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,440
while studying for the NCLEX. 
These are going to help you pass

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,760
your NCLEX and they're super, 
super underrated. 

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:16,160
The first one, you cannot bypass
getting your mindset right. 

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,920
A lot of people may be 
intimidated, they may be 

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,840
anxious, they may be dwelling on
what has happened in the past or

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,920
what's happening around them. 
So ultimately, you are focused 

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,320
on you and you're focused on 
what you have to accomplish. 

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,840
It doesn't matter what one 
person got or what you got 

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,800
before, or if you've never seen 
the exam, what to expect or what

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,520
not to expect. 
Get your mindset right because 

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,840
you are in a position to become 
licensed by passing your NCLEX 

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,920
and you should have that 
positivity and those 

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,480
affirmations that you will be 
the best nurse and that you will

15
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:52,800
pass your NCLEX. 
The second thing that you must 

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,000
do is create a calendar. 
But not just any calendar, not a

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,520
calendar that says, hey, you 
know what, I'm going to do this 

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,320
for the week or I'm going to do 
this for the month or in January

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,720
and February, I'm going to do 
this and March, I'll test. 

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,120
No, what we want is a daily 
breakdown of exactly what you're

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,880
going to do. 
So that doesn't mean, oh, it's 

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,760
Monday. 
Let me start by doing some 

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,760
practice questions in cardio. 
No, we want to be more specific.

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,480
We want to actually accomplish 
these goals and not give us give

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,080
ourselves this broad idea of 
what we're going to do, but an 

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,800
actual breakdown and checklist 
of exact things we want to get 

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,200
done. 
For instance, today's Monday. 

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,600
Between 9:00 and 12:00, I'm 
going to watch lectures on. 

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,840
Let's talk about heart failure, 
Let's talk about cardio coronary

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,000
artery disease. 
Then about 12:00 to 1:00, I'm 

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480
going to take a break, maybe 
have some lunch, go for a little

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,600
walk, come back about 1:00. 
I'm going to start doing 

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,680
practice questions. 
Not just doing practice 

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,080
questions, but I'm going to do 
maybe 80 of them from the 

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,400
traditional and maybe a couple 
hours of the next Gen. 

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,600
So again, make sure you're doing
every single thing specifically,

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,759
not this generic thing. 
It will help you to accomplish 

38
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,760
everything little by little as 
opposed to this big broad topic 

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,520
that you need to accomplish. 
The next one is don't discount 

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440
physical activity and eating 
right. 

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,280
So one of the biggest things 
that people underestimate and 

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,680
they potentially forget about is
staying hydrated. 

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,960
So we're staying hydrated is so 
important because our blood 

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,920
circulation needs to be intact, 
our blood pressure, our heart 

45
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,400
rate. 
Ultimately we need to be 

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,480
hydrated. 
The second thing is, and I've 

47
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,640
been kind of doing this as of 
late, is I've been using 

48
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:47,080
nootropics and the one that I 
specifically use is Magic Mind. 

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,960
And the fact that Magic Mind has
this ingredient called Lion's 

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Mane in it, it really helps with
neuroplasticity, meaning it 

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,760
really gets my brain working. 
I've been making a lot more 

52
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,360
content, I've been a lot more 
focused and little things like 

53
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,080
this, you'll be surprised they 
add up. 

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,240
So I mix it in with my smoothies
and that way I'm getting all my 

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,800
fruits and vegetables and I'm 
getting in all my nootropics as 

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,840
well too. 
So by adding this nootropic into

57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,560
my fruits and vegetables and 
kind of making a smoothie daily 

58
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,960
out of it, I get things that I 
wouldn't normally get. 

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,520
Things like lines made for 
focus, things like turmeric for 

60
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,280
blood circulation, things like 
ashragandha for anxiety and 

61
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,720
stress relief, All these 
different types of products that

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,840
are in my nootropic Magic Mind 
are amazing and Magic Mind was 

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,360
super kind to us. 
They are offering our nursing 

64
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,760
students and nurses a discount 
and all you have to do is go to 

65
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:49,160
www.magicmind.com Jan for 
January, Jan and Nclex Jan, 

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Nclex and you will get one month
free. 

67
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,600
If you subscribe to three months
and if you use the code NCLEX 

68
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,440
20, you can get 20% off, which 
gives you a total of 75% off. 

69
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,200
And it only lasts in January, so
hurry up before they take away 

70
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,080
that deal. 
It's a great product. 

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,680
But also aside from that, we 
want to make sure that we're 

72
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,800
hydrating, we're getting healthy
foods in fruits and vegetables, 

73
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,920
things of that nature, whatever 
your preference is. 

74
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,120
But we cannot discount that 
exercise. 

75
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,320
I need some sort of physical 
activity every single day, so 

76
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,840
even if it's just going for a 
walk, there's nothing wrong with

77
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:28,040
that. 
Get outside. 

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,760
It'll give you some fresh air, 
maybe some vitamin D if you can 

79
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,440
do it during the daytime. 
So going for a little walk or 

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,880
doing whatever you can. 
You don't want to overexert 

81
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,360
yourself where you get injured, 
but you definitely want to do 

82
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,680
something consistently every 
single day. 

83
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,960
And the last one, again super 
underrated, is sleep. 

84
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,520
If you're not getting the proper
amount of sleep or hitting that 

85
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,480
R.E.M., it's things the next 
year are not going to register. 

86
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,760
I started noticing that when I 
was fatigued, I was not 

87
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,520
retaining, I was not paying 
attention, I was easily 

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,400
distracted. 
So again, the combination of all

89
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,920
these things are going to help 
you and they're completely 

90
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,840
underrated in order to pass your
Nclex and the next one, the 

91
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,880
fourth thing is finding an 
environment that works for you. 

92
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,560
So whether it's a quiet room or 
a coffee shop, find something 

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440
that's consistent. 
Moving around all the time may 

94
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,880
not work out well because 
there's no sense of consistency.

95
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,320
So finding the place that works 
good Wi-Fi, maybe a place that's

96
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,200
easily accessible for snacks or 
things that don't have noise, 

97
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,280
whatever works for you. 
Find that proper environment. 

98
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,080
And the fifth thing, and this is
probably one of the hardest 

99
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,640
things, is limiting 
socialization. 

100
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,600
That means everyone from family 
and friends and loved ones, 

101
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,320
whoever it is, is going to want 
to do something with you. 

102
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,880
They're around you for a reason.
But this is the one time you're 

103
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,680
allowed to be selfish. 
So give up that socialization. 

104
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,520
And it doesn't just mean going 
out or grabbing lunch or 

105
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,840
grabbing a coffee. 
It means not getting on social 

106
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:02,160
media or at least limiting your 
social media to what's 

107
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,080
beneficial for your studying. 
So things like watching practice

108
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,720
questions or quick tips like we 
have or whatever you follow 

109
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,800
that's going to be beneficial 
for you in order for you to pass

110
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,640
your exam. 
So again 5 hacks that you need 

111
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,120
to know in order for you to pass
to Nclex. 

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,880
So hope you enjoyed and good 
luck.
