Re: What I wished someone would have told me the first go around!

NICURN2B08,

There is a Hurst book here in San Antonio in a bookstore that I read through. I know that my nursing class back home in LA went through the 3 day course and the only good thing about it was the explanation on "how" to answer the questions. As far as content, I liked the Saunders and Kaplan reviews better.

Re: What I wished someone would have told me the first go around!

yes, questions on NCLEX can be frustrating...just today I had a question from drexel nclex online preparation about seizures.
What should you do when patient is in bed and gets seizures?
Ok-the corect answer was "loose his clothes". I marked "put him on the side" and then I would loose his clothes. Kaplan book says "loose his clothes" almost in last position, for them it is not that important. They say "put him on the side"
Drexel thinks differently. Books and instructions can be sometimes frustrating.

You can't be no more right. I took NCLex in Feb. and passed the first time, but I think if I had not read Marlene Hurst's book I might have failed. Her book is not filled with a bunch of easy NCLEX questions like most NCLEX books, instead she teaches you how to find the right answers. Her strategies were great and I went into the test thinking, which pt should I save first and I'm a new nurse everything is important. I would reccomend that book to any new grad it is a wonderful way to prepare. Congrats!!!!
