Suzanne,
Could you please tell me ,if I will finish to study my new books:Saunders,NSNA, does it make sense to review questions from the older books(KAPLAN 2000, etc..). I am a foreign educated nurse,and when I read here how well prepared for the nclex every student from the school is (lots of tests : Hesi etc..), I am getting really scared. I took the CGFNS. How is the CGFNS related to the NCLEX. Can you help me in this question ?
Thanks a lot!

MONI, I felt that several books really helped me as it gave many different views on subjects...stuff I didn't know I looked up...someone told me to do as many questions as I possibly could...the old books may help some but with all the advanced terminology, procedures ect...I feel a new book is essential...I do feel Saunders was great...another good one is Lippencotts review by Diane M. Billings....I have a total of 5 books...prebably to many but I used them all....I also have Mosby's and a book by Stein...I don't recommend you buy as many as I have...some of mine were goven to me...I plan on giving mine to my daughter as she will be testing in a year...
I wish you much luck...I cannot help you with the question of the CGFNS
I took a course called NCLEX PREP...put out by http://PassNclex.Drexel.edu
this really helped me...they do have an online course review which gives you scnerios and a good reviews of pharm and systems....it was great and easy...but the reviews were good...cut all the junk out and really hit the things you really need to remember and know....... it comes with a book, a CD and online references and tests...........
GOOD LUCK MONI.........when do you test...?? Thressa

just waiting

I took my NCLEX yesterday. This waiting is KILLING me. I got 75 questions, and it just shut off....I did NOT feel good about it at all. I've heard that you either did very well, or VERY bad and the way I feel about it is I did really awful. Almost all of my questions were about determining priority. This test was so much harder than I thought it would be! But it is nice to read these postings and know that I am not the only one that has felt this way. Send some prayers my way!

hopeful

I to felt the test was hard...in alot of areas but soso in others...easy in a few and totallt lost in some areas...the waiting is totally the pits...I had alot of MS questions...priority, delegation...some preds, new born maturnity. I left the center feeling numb, not being sure how I felt I felt good about some of the test and stupied in others...I absolutely hate the select all that apply...I only had 4, I must have gotten some right because then I stopped getting them..............I"ll be thinking of you...crossing my fingers and saying a prayer or two...........I'll bet you did fine and passed...but the waiting is agony.....GOOD LUCK TO YOU.....................relax some....get a movie or two......hey if I can pass that blasted test I know you can... later THRESSA

I take my test this Wednesday...wish me luck. I have studied SOO much for this thing I think my brain is going to explode...I've been making 70-80% on most of the tests that I have taken so I don't know how i am going to do. I think we all freak out before this thing, it sounds like a bear, but let's hope it's one of those cute cuddly bears like the Snuggle bear for me Wednesday.

Good luck to all.

Good luck! I felt the same way.. I was just waiting for my head to explode, but it didn't and everything was okay! Hope you can relax (easier said than done) and do well!

I felt exactly the same you do. It was much harder than I expected, it shut off at 75 and it was priority, priority, priority! I was going NUTS! but I passed! And hopefully you will too! Best wishes! Let us know when you find out, but I have a feeling you'll be an RN in no time! :hatparty:
