Are you trying to pass the RN boards. and for what state ??
The NCLEX exam is based on Nat'l Council of State Boards of Nursing..as I guess you know...I was under the impression they forced you to take a certified refresher course, in your situation..
I passed my PN boards..which I am sure are way easier than RN boards.
I had not practiced in several years, so I used Lippincott's study guide, and the Chicago Pharmacology Review.
The CD rom included with both allowed me to be more portable, and also mimics the rate adaptive testing.
I just did my best to memorize everything I could..and also got a nursing PDR to review.
Also..your state board should provide you with a written results, so you can review your strong and weak
areas ??
