Just a note of thanks first to this site for being in existence, and to all of those who have been sooo supportive!!, and to those who have yet to take it pleasssse do not let any negativity get in your head!! YOu can all do this ( yes you too who have taken it more than once) study hard know your core content, labs & signs & symptoms of dieases, airborne respiratory droplet precautions,categories of meds and what nursing interventions you need to do! Do not focus on previous test taking expereince, or opinions that are negative, this is a very individualized exam, so know what your weakness are and get comfortable with them, oh! and GO FOR IT!!! best of luck to all
with much thanks,
future nurse who just passed her NCLEX!!

Re: study hard 7 have faith in YOU!!!

Congrats. I take mine at the end of this month.. What references did you Use??

Re: study hard 7 have faith in YOU!!!

I began with Kaplan( did 100% of the questions avail to me), saunders book and CD, Lippincott, exam cram, and nclex 3500. I know it sounds like alot but I felt that the more expeosure to a variey of questions the better. I also focused on signs & symptoms and interventions for endocrine, cardiac, neuro, respiratory, ob etcc diseases and disorders. contact droplet and airborne precautions, med categories, lab values, and psych ( develop stages, peds immunizations etc...) and also use this site to get support and do some fact throwing back and forth!
best of luck!!
you CAN do it

Re: study hard 7 have faith in YOU!!!

Thanks.. I don't really use that many references..I'm mainly focusing on Saunders. How many practice questions in total did you do, and how long of a time frame did you consume for studying before actually taking the test?? Sorry for all the questions...
