LS2 Help please!

[jerez01]

hi everyone, i have been having trouble studying for ls2.... i am having trouble with the mental health/psych section of it. i feel it's just way too broad... i'm not sure what to focus on and where to put most of my energy. i have all of the books, study guide, and some nclex books but still i feel like i am struggling. should i narrow down on the study materials-?? im hoping to take the practice exam in one week and the second part before my exam. i want to take my exam in two weeks so that i can move on to ls3 and then fcca but i feel stuck... please help!! thank you :hug:

Thanks, Chris!! There were some answers I was about to change, too... and I remembered a high school teacher who said...'9 times out of 10, the first thought is the right thought'... so I left 'em... there were a couple, though, that I read wrong and did change... I seriously thought LS2 was the hardest so far!!! Before that, it was Health Differences...

When are you taking LS3? I had it set up for 9/27 and changed it to 10/4...

Barbara - I have it scheduled for 09/26, but I just read that 2 people did well on the practice exams and then failed the real one - this kindof scares me as it is the last and probably the hardest (?) so I am thinking I will give myself an extra week or so and change to maybe 10/10. I think that will still give me time to get into the next FCCA before year end.

I am a little nervous about that one, too!! That's why I changed it... took a peek at the material last night, and it doesn't seem tooooo bad... but I will not underestimate it, for sure!! I gave myself the rest of the weekend off (1 day... yesterday!!) now it's back to work tonight. I'll start studying again on Thursday. I always take some study materials with me to work but seldom get the chance...

Since you don't have another exam to do... maybe changing it a little might be helpful... I still have Transitions to do last!!

Have a great week!!

Barbara, GREAT JOB!!! :) Hard work pays off. I am over here giggling because I had the same pre-LS2 freakout (back when it was called Nursing Concepts 5) because sooooo many people failed it and talked about how difficult it was, and I was pleased to pull an A on it. I had a feeling you'd do the same thing!!! Tee hee!!!

Ok... so tell me this... did you also do the weird thing that I always do... after every exam, look at your transcript, just to see one more zero in the 'needed' column and 3 more credits in the 'completed' column??!! (I do it every time!!)

Yep! And I was so obsessive about getting an updated student status/summary report!!! I wanted to see the totals there.

YEp - every time!!!

I made a really good outline for LS 2 and LS3..... Inbox me your email and I'll send it to you.... It was all from the Excelsior Form A & Form B quizzes.....

[marymaryrn2B]

I do the same thing every time as well!

I would be most interested in the outlines for LS 1, 2, and 3... I'm not sure how to send private messges

Pls can you send the notes for LS 2 to me I'm studying for it now and I just discovered that it's tough/hard and not easy to comprehend. Pls, I will appreciate it.
