hi y'all, l just want to share a little bit of my story how l passed nclex on the first try as a foreign nurse.
first, before l started with anything , l committed everything to the LORD Almighty's hand cos without him its impossible to do anything, and moreover all good thing comes from the lord whether one acknowledges it or not. l prayed constantly almost every day for the lord to help me to pass.
secondly, l committed myself studying little bit everyday;l couldn't commit myself studying long hours a day , but at least l try to do my best everyday,and not to forget the fact that l was a wife and a mother as well.
thirdly, these were the resources l used in studying: hurst review, saunders 5th edition, lacharity prioritization and delegation and lastly feuer audio review. l used them concurrently but carefully in such a way l do not get confuse,
hurst is a good resource l will recommend to everyone preparing to take the nclex. marlene took her time to explain all the medical conditions so well and also made it easy to remember and understand. she was the last l listen to on the morning of my nclex as l randomly picked any of her topics, and trust me, l never regretted doing that.
saunders to me is more closer to the nclex questions, cos l realised that the nclex questions are straight forward just as saunders. l strongly recommend this review.
Thirdly, is lacharity prioritization and delegation. After going through the book and studying the concept l became confident in answering SATA questions;trust me the ones you see on the nclex are less difficult than the ones in the book, but its just a 'toff' way of preparing you.
feuer, is kind of a more detailed classroom teaching lectures, that l will also recommend to those even in school; everything the lecturers explained were in-dept and very good. By listening to her review, l was able to answer the last question which was question 78 and my computer went blue, but though the last question was confusing l was able to choose the correct answer cos it was explained in feuer's review.
This is how l used the resources: after studying hurst review, i then do saunder's questions and answers. l aso found a seperate time to master the lachaarity book; then during my leasure time and times i used in cooking and doing other house chores, l then pluck earpiece in my ears to listen to feuer review.l love to listen so l always took advantage of that,and trust me it worked for me. l barely hard time for things that will not bebefit my studies.
last but not the least is constant practice, and u will realise that those who set the nclex questions has the same format and you will be able to answer their qustions. mat the good lord l serve help you pass your exams in Jesus name.
