2. Nclex second time around. My take on it.

   waterpaint replied to Pump Action Murse's topic in NCLEX

   I wouldn't recommend using too many resources. Saunders is not a good resource. The material and style of questions are not going to prepare you for the exam. If you haven't already taken the in-class version of kaplan, I would highlyyyyy recomm...

15. NCLEX studying

    waterpaint replied to idamommy's topic in NCLEX

    Prepare now for NCLEX if you're doing good in your classes. I noticed that a lot of the students who started preparing for NCLEX their senior year, by doing questions here and there, passed the exam after graduation. Can't guarantee this is success...
