NCBSN online review


I know Ive been posting alot of these, I guess I'm just really nervous. I'm scheduled to take the NCLEX Feb. 4th, which was the earliest date That gives me a little under a month to study. I was wondering if ANYONE here used the NCBSN online review and if that really helped them. I'm using it right now, and it has many practice questions and sections that it covers. I'm finding it personally useful because there is rationale behind each question. Anyone else use it?

I am scheduled to take my exam first week of march. i am currently using suzanne's plan, waiting for the second step. i have heard about the good things about NCSBN and i will take the 5 week course sometime february. feedbacks are good coz they say that the organizers of NCSBN are the authors of NCLEX at the same time...if it's true?, i don't know.
Good luck on your studying plan and just let us know how you find your exam.

I used the NCBSN online review while waiting to get Suzanne's plan. I passed both my NCLEX-PN & NCLEX-RN . Best of luck!

i am planning to take the 5 week course and hope to finish at least a week before my scheduled exam. will that be enough preparation?

is it possible to do it while i am doing suzanne's 2nd tip at the same time? or is it too much information to absorb?

thanks.

I also did the 5 week course. Suzanne will tell you it's too much info, but I went with my instinct and it worked for me. (We did the Saunders book in seminar class at school, so I had already finished the book from front to cover, it made sense to me to have additional study material).

thanks Tanzanite!

that's a great idea! i'll follow what you've done and hopefully will end up with good result.

i am really anxious about the exam. i am currently working as RN in England, although I graduated in Philippines. But my plans of moving to US makes me think that i have to pass NCLEX. I am really struggling with my study plans. thanks for the advice.

Yes, I used the NCSBN course and it is helpful, especially the questions. The questions from the course were similar to real NCLEX-RN questions but Kaplan is the closest in difficult level close to NCLEX that one may get.
Good Luck!

most test takers said that kaplan is the closest to the real exam...but it seems too expensive. i think i'll stick to NCBSN course.

How do I get to view suzanne's review?? I tried and it said it wouldn't let me. How can I possibly get approved for that? I would love everything and anything to help me out with this test. I want to start practicing as a nurse right now, it's my dream. Thanks!
