How did you study for NCLEX?


I just graduated from nursing school and will be taking the NCLEX-RN soon. I was just wondering what would be the best way to study. Should I just do as many questions as possible and read the rationales? Should I read through my review book? I start orientation for my new job in a week which is full time so time will be an issue. I hope to schedule my test for the beginning of July. The books I will be using for review are Saunders Comprehensive Review, Thomson Delmar Learning Practice Questions for the NCLEX-RN, and NCLEX-RN 250 New Format Questions by Lippincott Williams and Wilkins. Do you think between those three books I should cover what I need to know? I really want to pass the first time....actually I NEED to pass the first time, my job depends on it. I would appreciate any advice I can get. Thanks!

I personally think that you are going to have more problems with passing the exam when you use that many sources. The most important thing is the rationales behind each and every answer, and understanding that.

I would not use more than one book, especially if you are going to be working full-time as well.
