Get PDA book for NCLEX or no?

Published

Debating on whether or not to get PDA book to study for NCLEX-RN. I test in a month. I've reviewed notes, gone through a hurst book, ReMar Quick Facts, and going through Kaplan review book now. I've found where I can rent the book for like $8 so it's not about the money. Wondering if people found it more confusing than helpful. I can't afford the confusion at this point. Side note, this is my 4th attempt at this test. I've been studying 2 months already after not reviewing info for a year. Have studied differently this go around and hoping it makes all the difference. Thanks for your input!

Do you recommend a particular one? The one I have looked at is by laCharity

the one i have is by lacharity. If you buy it new, you can put a code in their website to have access of all the questions in electronic test mode...makes it so much bearable when practicing questions

Does the book itself come with quite a few questions?

Yes the book itself does come with all the questions. There's also not a big difference between the 2nd & 3rd edition.

a week before nclex i did la charity online, you can separate questions by topic. There are 390 prioritization questions, and 140 delegation questions, assignment, and other misc questions there probably about another +/- 200 questions.

Hi,

It was a great book for prioritization. I actually downloaded the ebook from my local library, so definitely check with your library to see if they have it. In fact, there are a lot of resources for NCLEX at your library and it's so underutilized. Personally, I found the LaCharity to be helpful but the questions were a little on the easy side for me. They were not worded in NCLEX-style but they were helpful in terms of prioritization. Nonetheless, I do suggest it. It must be hard to have to re-take the exam but you can do it! Keep practicing. Good luck :)
