Re: Suzanne, thank you...

Dear fellow nurses,

It must be very hard for all of you who are still trying to pass this NCLEX exam, I've been in your shoes before. I passed my test on my 3rd try using Suzanne's plan, I was lucky enough to get her plan. I do not want to disrespect her wish, so my advice would be just go through Saunder's 4th edition book on each chapter, and practice the questions on the CD that comes with the book.

Don't cheat yourself, if you feel that you are weak in certain areas then you need to read on those chapters and practice on the questions in the back of the chapters. Do not over do it, study for about 2-3 hours a day and you must be consistent. Try not to slack off.

Remember your ABC's, get the LA Charity PDA book, it helped me alot on those questions which are considered higher level questions. Good luck, may God be with you.

Give your brain change to assimilate what it is ready and learning

Thank You

Perhaps you need a short break to regroup mentally. Sounds like too many stressors going on right now. Do like Silverdragon said above, 2-3 hours a day, read and understand the rationals to the questions. Read the whole chapter in the NCLEX reveiw book if weak in that area. You may also want ot try reading through some of The Random Facts Sticky. Hang in there.

This is a thread on the main NCLEX forum with a pin at the side.

Re: Suzanne, thank you...

Hello all, I am in the exact same boat, I am trying to pass for the fourth time and need a new statagy... wish I had been able to get suzannes advice but a little late.. so did you pass yet and if so did you follow these advice's?? I currently have the cd of the saunders 4ht ed. but will go now and get the book with the la charity pda... but need something for prioritizing??? deligation, and infection control... I dont think I did so well on those... good luck .

Re: Suzanne, thank you...

they're not gonna put suzanne's plan back?

Re: Suzanne, thank you...

No, suzanne no longer has the plan.

Re: Suzanne, thank you...

what I am going to do now, actually just ordered the book is the saunders 4th ed. also I purchased the prioritizing by linda a la charity.. so when it comes I am off... I currently have the saunders cd, but I originally thought it was a little easy.... but now it has been a while and I know I have a tendency to over analyze a question, that is a big problem with me .... then I become discouraged because I end up getting the question wrong due to braking it down too much and thinking there is no way it cant be this easy it must be a high end question.... anyhow, I will do my best but not over do it, and keep up on this site for general relief.... good luck to all of us until we meet again on the hospital floors.. tc.
